12 Tags of Christmas 2013 - Tag 12

Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas to ALL!!! Like everyone else, I was busy with holiday TO-DOs. As promised, my last tag here. Yes, a Santa owl tag. It's the cutest ever! To learn how to make the owl, click HERE.

To make the owl's feathered horn, use the piece cut on one side of the 2-1/2" circle owl body. The owl body was made cutting equally a 2-1/2" inch circle punch on 3 sides. To put hightlights on the owl's eye, use the Owl Punch (use the smallest circle)

I used the Build A Bear accessory BigShot Die (Santa Hat) , used the Windor Word Punch as the rim of the Santa Hat and used the Itty Bitty Punch Set (scallop) for the Santa Hat pom-pom.

What more can I say. I made this tags by giving texture to 1-1/2" squares and using 2 different reds :)

I played around with the punch, Blossom Bouguet Triple Layer which I used on the bow of the actual gift image and the top handle of the tag. I also used the 3/4" square for the gift box image.

Use the Decorative Label punch to put extra dimension on your tag :)

These tags are not quite the traditional Holiday Tags but they will look fabulous with your gifts :) When I was playing around with colors, I picked this great combination and a favorite too. Pretty in Pink, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla! White is always a good one to use to give softness.

I made the flowers with the Scallop Circle Punch. First, fold 3x all the pieces into a triangle and set aside.

Adhere the center pieces of the scallop circle pieces onto a 1-1/4" circle. Fill in more scallop circle pieces until flower is full. Use glue gun for quicker adhering.

I also used the BigShot Die, "Two Tags" #115954. Enjoy making them :)

12 Tags of Christmas 2013 - Tag 9

I told you! I love making owls :) But these can pass as any type of bird without the 2 pointy ears. Like Tag #8, the body of the owl is just a 2-1/2" Circle punch then cut straight on 3 sides.

Other PUNCH Used:

- Window Word Punch for the rim of the hat

- Modern Label punch for the scarf

- 1" circle Punch for the outer eye socket

- 3/4" Circle Punch for the white of the eye

- 1/2" circle punch for the inner eye

- Heart to Heart punch for the wings (use the 2 long heart adhere side by side as feathered wings)

- 1-3/4" Circle punch, used on the belly of the owl (after adhering the piece, cut off the remaining piece)

- 1-3/4" Circle punch, cut the piece in half and shape like a bonnet (use "Stripes" textured embossing folder to give texture to the bonnet)

- Itty Bitty Punch set (round one for the tip of the bonnet)

- cut a piece of triangle to use as the Owl's beak

Again, I used colored glitter paper.

Who loves owls? I do! :) Big owls, small owls, look like owls, I love them all :) I was inspired to do this tag when I saw a cute Snow Owl. Hence... These owls are quite different from the other owls I made. I used the 2-1/2" Circle punch and cut 3 sides of the circle, leaving one side curve. Check out the tag.

Punch Used:

- 1" circle Punch for the outer eye

- 1/2" circle punch for the inner eye before using 3/8" Googly eyes

- 3/4" Square Punch and cut into 2 triangles for the ears

- Heart to Heart punch for the wings (use the 2 long heart adhere side by side as feathered wings)

- scallop edge border for the waves on the owl's breast

- cut a piece of triangle to use as the Owl's beak

Use glitter paper, it would look magical :) BTW, use 1 to 2 inches of eyelash ribbon to put in between the eyes of the owl. Use 2 strands. They look like feathers :)

OK! This is such an easy tag to make, just as long as you have the BigShot Die, Petite Pocket #123131. You can actually fit a gift card in it! Isn't that great! Then you may call these Gift Card Tags (double purpose). All you have to do is decorate them.

What I did here was make cute tiny bows with the Small Oval Punch by curling them and glueing each together as illustrated. One bow was not enough so I made two. One on top of the other :) I used the Itty Bitty punch set (flower) to finish the bow on the center.

Remember to use 1" bows. They look so good as tree ornaments too :)

I used a stampin' up! set, "Bells and Boughs" #121731 with silver and gold heat embossing powder. TO EMBOSS, use Versamark ink with your stamp, then pour the embossing powder. Your image will show as soon as you invert your tag to clean excess powder. Then use Heat Tool #100005, to seal the powder.

At the back, use your piercing tool and a brad to make one fastener. The flap of your Pocket can easily hold into place. Just make sure that you position the fastener close to the flap.

Hi! I got this idea from a Hallmark Ornament called New Home. It just gave me a great cozy feeling. Please note that the snowman on this tag is a snowman boarder that I cut individually. It's made of foam. You can always make or shape your own snowman using circle punch :)

First of all, you will need a 3" by 3" cardstock for the house. Then cut both corners on the top to make the shape of a roof.

PUNCH and DIES USED:

- Tasteful Trip BigShot Die for the snow on the roof top

- Jewelry Tag Punch for the windows of the house

- Scallop Oval Punch for the door

- Modern Label Punch for the Merry Christmas sign

I also use tinsel wire to make a wreath. Glitters are always a plus.
