tags! (again!)

we're still making tags OR holiday cards which incorporate tags at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ and you still have time to join the fun. ordinarily, i'm more of a "cards which incorporate tags" kind of girl; but this year my card stash seems pretty healthy, so i've had fun making tags which will get attached to giftbags in december. once again, i've made a pair that somewhat coordinate, because i have a specific pair of recipients in mind.

stickers: doodlebug design; frames: simple stories, october afternoon, we r memory keepers; papers: basic grey, lawn fawn, sei, prima, love elsie; tapes: october afternoon;  cloud punches: ek success; twine: from an actual bakery box!!!; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape

i've said it before (many times, lol!) but i'll say it again: i love doodlebug. especially d-bug xmas. especially d-bug xmas stickers. thus i have used LOTS of them here! one of my favorite ways to use a bunch of smaller items... like stickers or brads... is to frame them. i don't know about you, but i still have plenty of chipboard, and this seemed like a good way to use up a bit! 

i made my own tag bases by the very simple method of tracing the oversized shipping tags i used last week onto patterned paper and trimming them down. I added tape, diecuts, and YES, more stickers to the tags so that my little frame clusters filled the space nicely.

be sure to hop over to ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ and see stephanie's awesome creation, then start planning your own bid for world tag domination!
