Christmas Tags and Footprints #14

Welcome to tag #14 which is also the last one of Christmas Tags and Footprints series.

This year I thought it would be fun to give cozy socks for the females and warm work socks for the guys in the family who will be celebrating Christmas with us in addition to their big gift. Each set will have a handmade tag along with a small inexpensive gift (under $5) inside one of the socks. 

I cut two tags and a tag topper from white and chartreuse cardstock using the Wplus9 Timeless Tags 2 Die. I stamped the various images from the WPlus9 Silver Bells stamps set onto the matching pieces cut with the Wplus9 Silver Bells Die set using silver ink (bells), red (bow) and green (greenery). I grouped together the images on the tag attaching with dimensional dots and glue. The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in purple and I tied the two tags together with a ribbon bow.

And here it is attached to the socks:

I've had several emails about this series and although I have already responded to them I thought I would answer the most common ones here.

First of all, although the socks were different colors (the girls anyway) I wanted to keep some continuity to all of them. I made the tag colors the same (chartruese and white) and also included the color red on all of them even it it was small amount like the sentiment. I also used the same ribbon when I attached them to the sock.

As for the socks and gifts inside, I purchased the cozy socks at T.J. Maxx. They were in packs of two for $6 and were infused with a lavender scent. The men's were less expensive and I bought one pack for all of them. All of the men got a miniature (liquor) except one and all the females got a Burt's Bees tube of lip balm. For my six year old, I added some cute Disney Frozen adjustable rings and another pair of socks. For the baby, I just placed more socks inside. It was necessary to keep costs down because 12 of the recipients would be getting a "big" gift also.

I hope you have enjoyed the tag series! Thank you for hanging in there with me!

I cut the two tags from chartreuse and white card stock using the Papertrey Ink Tag Sale #9 die set. I stamped Purple Onion Designs Winterberry onto the white tag and then colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment was stamped with red ink and came from the Purple Onion Designs Sweetest Season Sentiment Set. I added a trio of buttons on the side of the tag to emulate the buttons on the snowgirl.

Christmas Tags and Footprints #1

I can't believe it's already December. I do have my Christmas tree up but nothing else. We are painting the foyer and dining room so I don't want to put out anything else until that is done. Don't ask why I waited until December to paint!

Today kicks off a new series on my blog featuring Christmas tags. I am calling it Christmas Tags and Footprints. I hope you will stop by throughout December to check it out.

This year I thought it would be fun to give cozy socks for the females and warm work socks for the guys in the family who will be celebrating Christmas with us in addition to their big gift. Each set will have a handmade tag along with a small inexpensive gift (under $5) inside one of the socks. 

I cut the two tags from chartreuse and white card stock using the Papertrey Ink Tag Sale #9 die set. Using all stamps from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day set, I stamped the heart in red, the snowflakes in Sour Apple and the sentiment with Danube Blue directly onto the white tag. After coloring the scarf image with Copic Markers. I fussy cut out and attached over the heart image using dimensional dots. I topped the two tags with ribbon and twine.
