Tag! You're it!

My friend Gwen of Perfect Pelegoniums gave me these cute Flower Fairy die cuts before Christmas and I have just got round to using them.

As you have probably noticed, tags and stamping are not usually my thing - I don't enjoy going to so much mess and effort for such small return - however, I felt these lent themselves to card toppers so I decided to have a go at making some stamped tags for toppers and embellishments. Luckily I had 2 copies of each Flower Fairy so could do a little decoupage as well.


I actually love how they've turned out.
I used them all on cards and now I have sent Pelagonium Gwen this card using Geranium fairy (apparently Geraniums and Pelagoniums are the same thing - I didn't know that before!) I can share them with you too. They are all made to the same basic sketch, but each one is different. I get too bored doing batches!


I would'nt say I'm a total tag convert, but I quite enjoyed doing this, plus it made a satisfying dent in my scraps box as some of these papers had been loitering in my stash for much too long.So,  I think I will be doing this again. I'll have a go at using some tags on my scrapbook pages next.


What do other people do with their tags when they're finished? (Other than using on them on gifts, obviously!)
