Shabby chic red and plum gift tags - more details

This week I made 7 gift tags for a swap (got some ideas on putting these together from the Sept. to Remember event in AZ recently where we made a whole box of gorgeous vintage tags) - although all the tags I made were similar, there were some slight variations between each one - because I had a hard time just choosing which of the pretty hearts I wanted to put on them lol.  You can see the differences in the 3 tags

pictured below:

There was little stamping involved,

and if you didn't want to put the tiny tag on, there was no stamping at all - you could use the vintage tags instead.. 

The Stampin' Up products I used to make these tags were:

Eyelet border

Heart to heart xlarge punch

Bigz 2 tags diecut (emboss before cutting diecut tag)

Vintage wallpaper embossing folder

Perfect polka dots embossing folder

Perfect plum inkpad and cardstock

Cherry cobbler inkpad and cardstock

Craft inkpad (to dab hearts on)

Whisper white cardstock (emboss with polka dots & edged/dab in cherry)

Crochet lace

Cherry ribbon seam binding

Pearls

 

The Stampin' Up products I used for the optional tiny tag (it was stamped) were:

Glossy white cardstock

Tiny tags stamp set

Tiny tag punch

I used white crochet thread (non-Stampin' Up) for the tag but you could use Stampin' Up's linen thread

This would be a great project for a new/beginner stamper - and you can easily change the heart punches and colors for another occasion.  Course I had to get some purple in there as it is my favorite color....and although I wasn't sure how I liked the cherry cobbler, now it is also one of my favorite colors!  With the Bigz 2 tags diecut, you get 2 tags when you cut it out, so I have 8 more pretty tags to play with!

So did you get any Black Friday shopping done?  Or better yet, get to eat some yummy Thanksgiving leftovers!!
