Teen Christmas Tags

I'm living an exciting life at the moment, friends.

All my girlies are teenagers.

Yup...three teens under one roof.

I take full responsibility for the sassy they've inherited~

 just enough to set boundaries, but rarely crosses a line of disrespectful.

They've also inherited my love of art~

each of them are creative!

I love that!

 I thought trendy tags for their special gift (whatever that may be)~under the tree would be fun.

When I made this project and researched my supplies...I rediscovered a large blossom die!

I chose three colors I thought were jazzy and cut them into tags (including 6 black extras). I also cut out 6 blossoms from cereal boxes for sturdy centers~2 per tag.

I stacked one of each color (saving the 6 extra) and cut again with the dotted borders "wave" die.

I glued the coral, black and striped "waves" onto black blossom tags for the front and attached the remaining black blossoms to the back (with dual chipboard centers cut from cereal boxes in the center).

These coordinate, but aren't identical...just like my girlies!

The free digital stamp from Avery Elle prints well on vellum~

 I resized them to fit the centers.

Once dry, I die cut and edged them with a silver Sharpie to cover the glue trim beneath.

These are pretty substantial and should last as ornaments in the years to come.

Since this is going on a gift to give, I'm also submitting this to

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today~
