Hello! Today the Mama Elephant Design Team is showcasing the awesome new Retro Holiday Labels Stamp Set. This gorgeous stamp set is perfect for creating greetings on cards or labels. I've paired several of the greetings with the Union Square tag dies and Wooly Winter sheep for a set of retro gift tags.
I die cut the front of each of the tags from smooth white cardstock using the tag and window dies from the Union Square tag dies. On the front of each of the tags, I stamped a greeting from the Retro Holiday Labels Stamp Set using black ink.
For the tag "back", I die cut the tag shape from kraft cardstock using the Union Square tag die. I stamped some of the sheep from the Wooly Winter stamp set on each tag using black ink and colored in the images with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and blended the coloring with the blender pencil. I added detail to the animal's faces with the black and white glaze pens and sparkle to the hats, scarves, and accessories with the stardust glitter pen. I stamped "to/from" from the Mini Messages Stamp Set on the kraft tag using black ink.
I adhered the front of the tag to the kraft "backing" making sure to keep the adhesive on just the outside edges and not the window.
Each tag was finished with red/white sparkle twine.
