Rustic Tag

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Christine Emberson

 Hi, it is Christine here today and sharing with you a Rustic Tag project suitable for both ladies and gentlemen.

C Emberson Rustic Tag 7

I’ve used a regular manilla tag and applied Creative Photo Corners – Kraft to the bottom two corners.  Remember these can be inked and stamped as well for a different look.

When you flip the tag over it reveals the sticky side of the Photo Corners but that’s not a problem …

Just cut a slightly smaller piece of card for the back of your tag and adhere.  This also creates a little pocket, perhaps for a cash gift or note.

Returning to the front of the tag, I’ve stamped a sentiment – this is from Lawn Fawn – Winter Gifts stamp set.  I’ve also cut a small piece of woven paper from DCWV.  Attach this with E-Z Runner Permanent Strips Refilliable – using this makes all projects speedy and with perfect adhesion!

Taking one 3D Foam Pennant, I placed it onto a piece of the woven paper and cut around with scissors.  Very simple to do but looks effective.

It is nestled among the other embellishments including the natural twine and adds further layers and interest.

Also included is a Bitty Blossom, again affixed with a 3D Foam Square – I cannot resist a flower!

Thank you for joining me today and happy crafting!

    What a lovely tag! The pocket on the back is a great idea for a more personal note or a cash gift. I love all the dimension on the front too, from using foam pads to raise the die cuts – I’m always doing this when I make cards!

    A lovely rustic tag by Christine. Its lovely to make your own tags for presents because you can personalise them to suit the person you are giving them to. Christine makes such beautiful tags that give us great inspiration and ideas that we may not have thought of.
    Thank you Christine. X
