Fun with Printable Tags!

Each month, Close To My Heart provides a fun download that you can use to create something with. I always look forward to the 1st of each month and can't wait to see what little goodie is waiting for me to download.   This month it is a sheet full of colorful tags!  You can either print them out for some VERY QUICK and easy tags for your gifts, or you can use them in other ways.  I decided to use them on some quick cards I wanted to create.


Here are a couple of cards I created using one of these tags


I used Sky and Cranberry Cardstock for this card.  Look closely and you can see where I used tone on tone stamping with snowflakes on the Cranberry cardstock.   I added a sparkle flourish and red bow (retired cranberry ribbon and I was done!  I used Sketch #270 from Clean and Simple Stamping for this card.   This one was very quick!

Clean and Simple #270

My next card actually took a bit longer because I wanted to incorporate different patterns and different colors into my card.  Once I finally decided on the papers the card came together pretty quick.

The Sketch from Just Us Girls Challenge blog helped make this an easy card to create.   The pattern paper is from the Sparkle & Shine paper pack and I added Cranberry cardstock.  The glittery buttons are from the Ruby Mini Medleys which look great with the Red Shimmer Trim.

Print out your own tags and have some fun!  You can get the download from the Rediscover badge at the top of this blog or from my website under Promotions.   Be sure to download and save to your computer so you will always have them!  These will only be available for download until December 31 because January 1 will bring us something new!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
