Happy Tuesday! Since I've been kicking around tag designs for the Waltzingmouse Stamps Tag Challenge I though I would share with you a really simple one I came up with. I took the large ornament stamp from the Vintage Ornaments set and stamped them in a whole rainbow of Momento ink colors. I used a lighter shade ink to stamp the center, and then stamped the sentiment in black. I strung some matching twine through an eyelet at the top and added a pretty loop bow and that's it - your done!
I'm new at glitter and have been experimenting with different ways to apply it where I want it. The liquid glues make your paper buckle. I've been using a simple inexpensive glue stick (courtesy of kids school stash) to apply adhesive where I want it. It goes on thinly and my paper stays flat. I made about 50 of these tags and they look great in every color. With the twine already attached they will be a cinch to add on to all things holiday - presents, baked goods, even my little Norfolk pine I picked up at the grocery store!! I think "You're My Star" sentiment will be perfect on gifts for my special friends who seem to always be looking out for me.
These were a little tricky to photograph. I wound up covering a book with white drawing paper and standing it up. I taped the strings to the top of the covered book binding so the tags would stay put and lay properly.
I hope you like them. Don't forget - Waltzingmouse Stamps is hosting a big tag contest with BIG prizes - 4 sets of stamps of your choice to one random winner.
