Hi Crafters!
It's Mary, dropping in with a quick tag share. Tags are fun to make when you're feeling creative, but don't have a ton of time to work on a project. You can get your creative fix, and create something fun on a smaller scale (and you can use the tags later on cards or layouts).

Just a few of the supplies that I used are shown to the right.
I used heat embossing, distress inks, and a few stickers.
First, I used the Wild Honey Distress ink to ink the entire tag using a blending tool. Next, I stamped the Radiant Banner Cling Stamp (Hero Arts) using Versamark Watermark ink onto the tag. I heat embossed the stamped image with clear embossing powder.
I wanted the yellow/orange color to show through the embossed area of the stamp. I made sure to stamp only the top part of the stamp on the tag, leaving the banner part off of my tag since I wanted the tag to give the impression of a sun. I went over the entire tag with Barn Door Distress Ink, adding more and more color to make the red very bright. I used a paper towel to lightly wipe off the embossed areas (which resist the ink) and was left with a brilliant sunrise/sunset looking image.
To dress up my tag, I added a sentiment from the Jillibean Soup label stickers (Soup Labels) from the Game Day Chili collection. I chose "Be amazingly awesome today" and then added in a few butterfly stickers from Studio Calico. The butterflies are normally a woodgrain/graph print, but I had used them as a mask in an earlier project, so mine are green (Leaf Green Mister Huey's spray mist).
After staring at my tag for a few minutes, I decided it was too flat, so I cut a pop dot in half and raised one of the smaller butterflies up. It was a slight change, but I think the tag looks much better with just the one alteration.
Hope everyone enjoyed the quick look at this tag.
You can alter tags in so many ways and add more embellishments or different sentiments to fit your creative needs. Pick up a box of manila or white shipping tags at your local craft store, and spend a few minutes making something creative. Tags are a great way to jump start your creativity!
Don't forget: you still have until Sunday at 8pm to complete a layout using punches and add it to our comments section (or email the store the link/picture). The winner will be announced Monday morning and will win a $10 gift card from Our Paper Place.
Looking forward to seeing all those great layouts.
...and as always, happy creating!
