A couple more tags

We celebrated Christmas on Friday with my mom and my twin brother, Chris, who was out on business from Nanaimo, B.C.

Here are the tags I made for their gifts.

First up is the tag that I made for my mom's gift.

I used my Papertrey Ink Tag Sale 4 die, as well as my Merry Christmas word die from Simon Says Stamp.

I die cut the Merry Christmas from a strip of SSS woodgrain card stock. 

Then I ran the negative piece though with my Tag Sale 4 die and layered it over some red card stock before adhering it to my tag. 

I added some baker's twine along the edges of the woodgrain card stock.

Then, I was left with the Merry Christmas word die cut.

As it was lying on my table, I couldn't help but notice that Christmas has my brother's name in it.

So I used it for my tag.

 

I die cut my tag using my Reverse Confetti Tag Me dies.

However, I wanted my tag a little longer to fit my sentiment.

So, I ran one end of my die though the die cutting machine but stopped before I got to the end. 

Then I flipped my card stock/die around and slid the die down a little to make the tag longer.

Then I ran it through my die cutting machine again, but stopped before I got to the end.

I stamped my sentiment from Reverse Confetti's Bring On the Merry stamp set in versa mark 

and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I added the trimmed die cut work, as well as some baker's twine.

Thanks for looking!
