T is for TAGS

T is for TAGS

One of my TAGS
TAGS, TAGS, TAGS, I never can find any when I am looking for one!! At one time, I kept plenty on hand. Like my handmade flowers - it is a process, so I will take one day out of my crafting week and do nothing but tags. Those days are far behind me...now I make them only when I need one or two!

Scrapbook layouts, journals, loaded envelopes, altered bags - whatever the case may be need a tag of some kind. I have made small tags, large tags - skinny tags, wide tags. Tags can be used as identifiers, to tell a short story on or just as a filler.

Unlike cards, I enjoy creating tags. Most of the time, I make my own tag versus using a Cricut or other type of cutting machine like a Sizzix Big Shot or Cuttlebug. I own a Cricut and a Big Shot. From time to time, I use my Cricut to cut out many tags. In fact, I have used the same TAG and altered paper choices. I have also used smaller pieces of scrap papers to make tags with my Sizzix Big Shot.

There are fancy tags and simple tags - it just depends on how the person creating them envisions them. I have embossed tags, painted tags, distressed tags, and even used different embellishments on tags before. (like the one pictured above).


In some cases, TAGS that I make have been embossed like these below. (These were my very first tags made many years ago). 

First tags I ever made
Handmade TAGS are fun to make. I enjoy giving them away as small gifts. Tags can be made for any holiday or celebration.

  2. The preschool where I used to work had a die cut machine and a tag die cut. I wish I still had access to it (for many reasons), and when I pulled out my paper collection this week to make a card (couldn't go buy one, after all!), I found a handful of tags I had cut. Will have to up my tag game next time I need one!

Remember When

Remember when things were simple, and life just seemed to BE.  As I am sitting here at my crafty desk working on the album for the Boutiqu...
