The theme for this month's Papertrey Ink blog hop is holiday tags. Tags are a fun and easy way to dress up a gift and the new tag dies from PTI make creating tags quick, too. I made two different ones to share today.

I stamped one of the coffee cup images on a piece of Distressed Dots paper, cut out with the matching die. The cup is set on a kraft tag cut with the Tag Sale 1 die. I stamped the swirly steam image above the cup in Dark Chocolate ink, stamping off once first for a softer look. The heart is stamped in red above the steam.
I stamped the sentiment on a red strip cut with the double ended banner die. The strip is slipped under the cup, extending beyond the edge of the tag. I added some red grosgrain ribbon to the top of the tag, secured with a brown button tied with Pure Poppy baker's twine.
Materials Used:
Warm Happiness Too stamp set, Pure Poppy and Dark Chocolate inks, Kraft, Pure Poppy and Dark Chocolate cardstock, Distressed Dots patterned paper, Pure Poppy grosgrain ribbon, Dark Chocolate button, Warm Happiness, Double-Ended Banner, and Tag Sale 1 dies (Papertrey Ink); foam tape

I made the white die cut felt dove the focal image of the tag. The dove has a small self-adhesive blue crystal as an eye for a little sparkle and definition. It's layered on a pair of blue circles to set it off from the kraft tag made using Tag Sale Die 2.
I used the double-ended banner die again for the sentiment. This time I scored the banner near the ends for a raised look. To tie the sentiment strip in with the image panel, I added a scalloped accent at the bottom under the sentiment, made with the scalloped section from the Banner Borders die.
I threaded a piece of blue grosgrain ribbon through the hole at the top of the tag and secured it with a button and Enchanted Evening baker's twine. For a whimsical touch, I threaded a small bell onto the twine before tying it into a bow.
