Doodlebugs – Christmas Tags Have Begun

Happy Mix it up Monday everyone! If you’ve been around for a minute, you know I love making tags for all occasions. I rarely give a gift without a tag attached and sometimes I make tags for fun and go hunting for a gift to give it with. Yes, I’m serious I’ve done that more than once.

Let the Christmas tag create commence! Today I’m using Mama Elephant tags, Lawn Fawn stencils and Pretty Pink Posh stamps and dies. Dig in your stash and see what strikes you! Tags are a fun, smaller canvas and can serve as a quick bit of crafting to scratch the itch or possibly pull you out of a creative slump.

Mix and match different colors and textures. Remember you can write on the back of the tag or cut a second one so you have another layer to write on. This also gives you more area to write if you’re adding a little message along with it.

I’m curious today too. How do you attach your tags to gifts? Do you tie them on with a longer string? Attach them with tape or glue? I usually create my tags like they’re shown in the photo and depending on the gift, add double-sided tape to the back of the last layer or thread a thinner string through the knot at the top to tie them on a bag.
