Ornament Gift Tags
Hi, everyone! I can't wait to show you my ideas over the next week for Growing In Unity. I'm very excited to be a part of this. Today's idea came to mind when I started wrapping gifts this past weekend to ship to family who is out of state. I didn't have any sticky labels left, so why not create something special?
I used Northwoods Peace, Joy and Things, Warrior Cancer Ribbon, and Christmas Bough from Unity Stamps to create the ornament gift tags. I wanted to include the cancer ribbon one for my grandmother who is in remission for breast cancer. You can make wood slice tags/ornaments for all kinds of occasions or memories. Your only limit is your imagination!
I used my magnets to create a jig for the ornaments to sit in as I stamped in layers. I like having the ability to reink and stamp a layer if it didn't fully imprint. The inks used can be seen in the supplies photos above. I did 2-3 layers of each ink. You can go in with a detail brush and fix any areas or use your favorite colored pencil to add or adjust any details.
So, I am human and make errors, but I simply look at them as opportunities to embellish.
Gesso to the rescue when my Sharpie pen didn't look quite right!
I didn't use any sealant or fixative on these ones, but have used micro distress glaze in the past. Remember to comment below and make sure I have your email address so I can contact you if your name is drawn to win one of two Unity prizes at the end of the week. I hope you're inspired to try a simple stamped design as a gift for friends and loved ones this week.
Crafty Hugs,
Holly R.

ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet keepsake! Did you slice the wood yourself or purchase it? I have wanted to make these for a couple years but always forget to buy the wood slices in time.
