Sparkle Trim Tags

Check out this print I made using my Gel Press, Acrylic Paint and a Brayer. 

The Gel Press is a gel like plate that is used to create your own prints.  You apply paint or ink to it and then are able to mix colors, add texture and more.  Then you pick up that print with a piece of paper.  I tell you it is GREAT fun!  You can see the Gel Press in action HERE on my YouTube channel. 

At first glance it doesn't look like much really.  But then I cut several ovals out of this print to make some Christmas gift tags with. And now look how stunning the print looks with some stamped image. 

After die cutting my ovals I did add some Silver Silk to the tags, the little splatter of silver gave the background some added dimension and shimmer. 

I stamped my tree from the Sparkle Trim stamp set with Fresh Forrest ink and then die cut it out. I popped that onto my tag with Journey Foam squares. 

To top off my tree I die cut a snowflake using the Snow Blooms die set from Cool Pool card stock.  I glued my snowflake right to the tree. Then I punched out a tag with the Tag This punch from Fresh Forrest card stock. The  Merry & Bright Sentiment is from the ATS set, Tag Elements.  I stamped it with Whip Cream ink.  I added some white string I had on hand to the top of my tag and added to the center of the snowflake with a foam square. 

Last touch to my tag is the Special Day Organza ribbon.  I punched a whole in the tag and tied on the soft whispy ribbon.  I like the ribbon tied kind of loose. That way you can adhere it right to a wrapped gift as is, OR untie the bow and tie it onto a gift bag. 

Isn't is so pretty!  I made these tags to match the cards that we are making at my upcoming Sparkle Trim Card class.

I like to make party favors for my guests attending my classes and this year for all my Christmas card classes I will be making tags to match their cards. 

Here are all the fun things I used to make my tags.  You can view any of the items I used in my online store just by clicking that image.
