Beautiful Tags by October Guest Designer Bobbi Lemanski

Hi there! It’s Bobbi again. Today is my last post as the Guest Designer for Newton’s Nook Designs (sad face). I’ve really had fun sharing my creations with you. Since today is my last day, I thought it was only appropriate to leave by “tagging” the next guest designer and you. Tag you’re it! It’s time to get creative and get those holiday gifts, cards and tags done before you run out of time. I’ve been working on a few myself and wanted to share them with you….

Stag Tags for the Holidays

There’s something about antlers that I find interesting and pretty. In fact, I have two on my mantel and I’m not even a hunter nor an outdoorsy, nature girl. Of course, my deer heads are more of the modern type - white and from Target! I think these tags celebrate the beauty of nature around us. 

For the two deer tags, I used Adventure Awaits (I love that artistic deer head), Winter Memories (for the trees)  and Splendid Stags and Pines and Holly dies. For the backgrounds, I created two wood-looking backgrounds using my ruler and Copic Markers to mimic rustic boards and shiplap. I also used the “Season’s Greetings” sentiment from the new set, Ornamental Wishes. By the way, one of these deer heads is on SALE right now, and (hint) awaiting and adventure with you, too! It’s a retiring set so snag this stag before it’s gone!

The gray tag background uses the Serene Stripes Stencil. When I turned the stencil 90 degrees and used embossing paste on it for high contrast, I saw these strong vertical lines reminding me of thin birch or pine tree trunks in the woods. I added a few pine branches from the Pines and Holly set (a must for your stash) to create the tree-like images along with a sentiment from Sentiments of the Season. A little pine cone covered in Liquid Applique adorns the sentiment band. 

These designs could easily be used for a greeting card or for Thanksgiving table place cards, too. For gifting, I plan to use them with kraft and/or a red/black buffalo plaid wrap for the holidays 

Traditional Toppers Keep the Winter Memories Alive

The Winter Memories stamp set and dies are the star of the show for these traditional tags. The set’s silhouettes are so pretty. Combining them with softer, subtle colors of pinks, blues and greens makes for a beautiful and stunning contrast. 

For the first card, I created a larger shaker tag using circle dies. Shaker cards are a snap if you use the Double Sided Adhesive Foam available at Newton’s Nook Designs. To cover the outer edges of the foam on the sides of the shaker, I add double sided tape in the same width and rolled in glitter to cover. It not only finishes the edge, but it sparkles, too!  The background uses the new Evergreen Stencil with white embossing paste for dimensional snow-covered trees. I used the ornament topper from the new Ornament Shaker Die set to transform the circle shaker into an ornament. The other two coordinating tags in the same colors use many of the same sets and dies on other tags.  

Let’s Get Lit with Some Merry and Bright! 

The next set of tags are merry, bright and perfect for any age!  Kids may especially enjoy their interactive features. The slider, shaker, and sliding window add to the fun! Did  you notice that I used the new Petite Snow Stencil with white embossing paste on three of the tag bases? LOVE it!  

I used these Newton’s Nook Designs products to complete the tags:  Winter Woofs, Frozen Fellowship, Fleece Navidad (and dies)  and Cups of Cocoa and dies along with others already mentioned. Here’s a side view of the window slider card. You can see the inside sentiment, the stamped snowflakes and the ornament topper I used for the pull tab!  

To finish the tags, I like to cut the tag back panel in a fun accent color like pink or green to cover any bleeding from my Copic coloring from the front panel. It also makes the tag more durable under the tree, too. 

A big THANKS to Jen and Samantha for this wonderful opportunity to guest design for Newton! I love Newton’s Nook Designs and I had so much fun sharing my creations with everyone.  Thanks to all who visited and shared the kind comments with me. Happy Holidays everyone!

Now tag, you’re it!
