Darkroom Door Handmade Christmas Gift Tags

 

Happy Monday friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a few fun tags made with stamps and ink.  I love the way handmade gift tags add uniqueness to packages and that "personal touch."  I grabbed several of my favorite Darkroom Door stamps and tried to puzzle piece them with various die cuts I had to see which stamps would work best for each size.

  

For my first set, I used the Pine Cones stamp set and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide, then embossed the sentiment in gold and gave everything a splash of watery gesso to resemble snow.

For my next set of tags, I stamped a sentiment from the Yuletide Greetings stamp set in black on my kraft tags, then restamped the sentiment on green and fussy cut the bottom word into a little banner.  I used a punch for the greenery spray and die cut a little berry.

My next set was made by dipping my circle cutouts into Broken Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks, then stamping the Snowflakes background stamp on the larger circle.  I used a punch for the large snowflake, then a smaller sentiment from the Yuletide Greetings set for the smaller circle.  These tags god a little sprinkle of glitter to make them sparkle!

For my last set of tags, I dipped a larger square into watery Peeled Paint Distress Ink.  Then I stamped the smaller square with the Abstract 07 Dots stamp and spritzed the stamping with water to let the dots bleed a bit, blotting the center so my overstamped sentiment would stand out more.  I hope your Christmas season is off to a great start and you will take the time to add a few handmade touches to your holidays.  Hugs, Autumn
