Well I know it's happened to all of us from time to time...
We need a card or gift tag NOW.
Well here is a quick little tag that can be used as is tied to a gift or added to a plain white card base in a jiffy!
Supplies:
Chipboard
Pattern Paper
Lace
Ribbon
Glitter Glue (I used Distress Stickles)
Distress Ink
Spring (or other) Stickers
Pop-Dot or Foam Tape
Instructions:
1. Cut tag shape from chipboard. It can be a shipping tag style, circle, square, oval, etc. Whatever shape tickles your fancy at the time. Punch a hole at the top.
2. Attach a bit of pattern paper to the lower half of the tag. You can distress it if you have time or not.
3. Swipe a bit of paint across the top. (doesn't have to be perfect, just a quick coat will do.)
4. (Optional) Add a bit of Glitter Glue and heat to dry. I like to use Distress Stickles if I'm in a hurry. You of course can use traditional glitter but it's much more messy and takes a bit longer to adhere/dry. Since we're going for quick...this works great.
5. Attach some ribbon and/or lace to the bottom, center and add to the hole.
6. Add a pop-dot or bit of double stick foam tape to the back of a Spring sticker. You of course can use any sticker that works for your particular need. If you have extra time you could use a stamped image (colored or not). Totally up to you and your time frame.
And you're done!
This tag would have taken me about 15 minutes if I hadn't been taking photos. If you omit step 4 (adding glitter) then it would have taken about 5 minutes.
Really quick and really easy!!
This tag can be tied to a gift, flower bouquet, gift basket, etc or if you'd like you could attach it to a card base with a few pop dots!
Great for when you're in a hurry and almost out of time!
Hi Roni -
ReplyDeleteI love the Shabby Chic look of this tag. And it does not look like a quickie! This really came out cute, love it.
