Hi hard core croppers. Below is my submission to Katie Nolan-Denham's challenge..."my challenge for you is to make at least two tags. You MUST use Core'dinations visibly on your tags and you MUST stamp on your tags". I hope you like my two tags; they were a blast to make. The Thanksgiving one is to send as I made several of these for the holiday. OK, I'll send the other one to a special person as well.
The Thanksgiving tag background was made by rubbing distress inks, spritzing water and drying. Rub ink around all edges. All elements were die cut. The leaves were scrunched and then distressed with ink. When dry they were sprayed with pearl mist. The pumpkin was cut from scrapbook paper, lines bent and distressed. The sentiment was stamped onto the banner. The leaf and acorn at the bottom are the only items adhered flat onto the tag; the rest are popped up. Once all were added to the tag, distress stickles were applied here and there to the leaves and pumpkin.
The holiday tag background was created with distress paint and water. Once dry it was put into an embossing folder and run through the Cuttlebug. The remainder of the elements were die cut. The trees were sanded and distressed with ink. The deer die cut was scrunched in my hands, opened, sanded and distressed with ink. I cut the deer four more times using a manilla folder, adhered all together to give lots of dimension. I used a Fantastix to rub the distress ink around all the edges of the deer once it dried. The moon was distressed and sprayed with pearl mist. The sentiment was stamped onto a torn tattered banner, scored and folded. Lastly, cording was tied and knotted to tag hole.

Hi hard core croppers. The tag I created is in response to Kerri's challenge "create a holiday tag using Core'dinations Cardstock". This is the tag I am submitting for this challenge and it SHOUTS holiday. Hope you like it.
I went for the vintage feel so picked a kraft tag for the base. I rubbed the embossing folder with distress ink on the smooth side and ran it through my Cuttlebug. The two ornaments were die cut with the mini star placed in the middle first. Then I switched the colored stars and adhered each behind the openings and sanded each ornament. I also cut two more ornament tops using the same die from mirri card and glued to the tops. I used distress ink on the edges of the tag. I cut a paper clip in half and bent it to resemble an ornament hook. The green ornament was attached first. I tied a lace bow and adhered to the red ornament, then popped up and brought one tail of the bow through the tag hole. I wrapped tiny red tinsel to the bottom and stapled. The staples were colored red with a Sharpie. The wood embellishment was colored with walnut distress ink and attached to the bottom corner.
