Hi everyone! It's been awhile, but I'm back today to show you some personalized Christmas gift tags for my kiddos (I make all my gift tags for each present!), made with the new exclusive limited edition Simon Says Stamp Surprise Sizzix Thinlit Set "Dash Away All" from Tim Holtz. Don't delay in ordering as these will sell out quick. These little dies are so charming and magical and the perfect size for #8 tags. The sleigh and reindeer are my new fav! These tags where super fast to make and personalizing them with the Dymo made them even easier. Enjoy!
Using #8 Heavystock Tags,
ink over the tags randomly with Prize Ribbon Distress Ink and then Villainous
Potion Distress Ink, alternating the colors and reinking heavier while blending
the colors. I inked over mine three times for a nice dark sky. Don't you think these two ink colors make the most perfect snowy night time sky?!! Lightly mist the
tags with water and then quickly blot off the water with a paper towel to
remove the ink, leaving white water spots for a starry look. Lightly mist the tags with Hocus
Pocus and Snow Flurries Distress Mica Stain for some magic. Dry thoroughly with a heat tool.
Using the Dash Away
All Thinlits, die cut the moon in the upper left corner of the tags placing
them horizontally. Die cut the stars in the lower left corner first, and then
again next the moon along the upper border of the tag. Use a die pick to remove
all the die pieces.
Place the tag in a
stamp platform and add a sentiment from the Stamptember 2021 (another exclusive) set from Stamper's
Anonymous in the lower right corner of the tag. Close the platform to secure
the stamp. Lightly dust the corner of the tag with an Anti Static Pouch so the
powder doesn't stick where you don't want it. Stamp the sentiment using either
of the Distress Inks from before (I used Villainous Potion) and apply White
Embossing Powder over it, shake off, and heat emboss. Do the same to the other
tags.
Die cut the sleigh and
reindeer with black cardstock for each tag. Cut white heavystock to cover the
back of the tags so the die cut parts have a white background and adhere the
cardstock to the back with Collage Medium. Add Collage Medium to the back of
the sleigh and reindeer, and place them between the star patterns along the
middle of the tag slanting to the upper right.
