red cup tags
Wanna know something funny? I don't even drink coffee, don't like it. Can't stand it actually. But I do love a Starbucks Coconut Hot Chocolate and cute coffee themed papercrafts. So I had to create some coffee cup tags...
The tags are 3 layers, red cup, white cup and a partially die-cut cup in the center for stability. The lid is fuzzy white felt.
Simple, easy and super cute (in my opinion)!
Happy Saturday!

sweet bear tag
I'm feeling a little tag crazy right now, ever since creating my tag for the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist. The Essentials by Ellen All Inside bear is one of my all-time favorites so I felt like I had to include him in the holidays.
To create this little sweet tag, cut tag from polka dot paper or create your own. I used a small circle from the Bokeh Dot set and one of my favorite red inks, Avery Elle Strawberry.
Die cut bear from white felt. I like to use gesso to add stability (you can read more about that here).
Stamp a face on the felt bear with a permanent ink. I like to use StazOn and a little masking cheat...I cover the bear with painter's tape to leave only his little face free. Then I ink the stamp, remove the tape and stamp onto the felt. The MISTI is especially helpful with this process.
Add a little yarn scarf to the bear and adhere to the tag. Finally use a glue dot to attach candy.
Thanks for stopping by!

watercolor wreath tag
I adore Margaret Berg's beautiful watercolors! Her work is gorgeous and happy. I find her so inspiring and this piece...
...inspired the little Christmas tag I want to share with you today:
To create this tag, start with a circle cut from smooth watercolor paper and stamp a pine branch in Distress Ink. I curved the branch stamp on my acrylic block to help create the wreath.
With a waterbrush, apply more Distress Ink in various shades of green to the branch for a watercolor effect.
Continue to stamp & watercolor branches, along with "freeform" branches and circle.
Stamp flowers, berries and holly leaves as desired. Add a few extras dots of color if you need to round out your wreath like I did (it was very square, LOL).
Add sentiment to the center and ta-da!
Hope your having a great day!
