cricutcardz@cardztv # 98 tag youre it

happy wednesday! this week over at CCC our challenge is make 2 christmas gift tags. i love making gift tags :) and using my cricut and very merry tags makes it so easy! 

ive only shown a couple here, but when you cut these you get a deer cut so of course i dont want these wasted, so i just cut a regular tag then adhere the deer cut on it. the example being the first 2 on the left. the deer cut on the first tag is the deer from the tag next to it. i just inked up a manilla tag . i also used distress stickles and viva decor inka gold on it. you could also just use the extra deer cuts on a card :)  i like the masculine yet prettiness of these

                                                        heres one more tag i made

                        i added some marvy punch snowflakes and stickles and a little colorbox fluid chalk.

if you dont have this cart it really is worth buying. the tags are simple but cute enough to leave on their own or you can really doll them up. its a great way for the kids to create their own gift tags too. 2 simple cuts and your done. 

hope ive inspired you to make your own tags be sure to check out the rest of the DT tags you'll definetly get inspired there! 

thanks so much for  spending a little time with me to day:) happy crafting! we'll be on our holiday  break from CCC until jan 4th, so  if i dont see you before , have a wonderful christmas! xxxshelly
