Stellar Birthday Out Of This World Gum Tags |
F un tags for a gift using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Pacific Point Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 3" from Mint Macaron Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
Pick out the squared off top tag die from the Tailor Made Tags Dies that cuts out a tag that is 1-1/4" wide. Put it on top of the Pacific Point rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Mount the grouping of planets image from the Stellar Birthday Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Night Of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it a couple of times on the Pacific Point tag cut out.
Mount the "You're Out Of This World" sentiment from the Stellar Birthday Set on Block B. Ink it up using the Night Of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Mint Macaron rectangle.
Pick out the squared off top tag die from the Tailor Made Tags Dies that cuts out a tag that is 7/8" wide. Put it on top of the stamped Mint Macaron rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Adhere the Mint Macaron sentiment tag at a slight angle to the top of the Pacific Point tag so the holes in the tags line up.
Mount the rocket image from the Stellar Birthday Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle.
Put the stamped rocket image on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Light and Dark Night Of Navy Stampin' Blends to color in the rocket's fins, stripes, and circle around the port hole.
Use the Light and Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color in the flames.
Use the Light and Dark Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends to color in the rest of the rocket.
Leave the port hole white for now.
Use the Light Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends to add some red to the center of the flames.
Use the Color Lifter Stampin' Blends as needed to remove excess color.
Use the Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush to paint shimmer onto the port hole of the rocket.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the colored rocket image by hand.
Use a Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the rocket cut out to the upper right corner of the tag as shown.
Cut a 5" piece of the black/white Baker's Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Poke the folded end through the hole in the top of the tags from behind. Pull the loop through a bit. Poke the loose ends of the twine through the loop and pull the twine tight. Tie a knot in the loose ends of the twine about 1/2" from the top of the tags. Trim the ends of the twine.
Cut a length of Mint Macaron 1/2" Soft Velvet Ribbon or 3/8" Denim Ribbon long enough to tie around the gift in a knot.
Tie the ribbon around the gift in a half knot. Slide the twine loop at the top of the tags onto one end of the ribbon. Tie in place using a knot. Trim the ends of the ribbon.
