Valentine Tag Swap

Over on the SOC boards, I hosted a Valentine Tag Swaps.  Everyone contributed to making the swap successful - thank you!  I appreciate everyone's efforts!  The participants showed up and showed out when creating these tags.  I'm amazed by the varieties and creativity of absolutely everyone.
In most cases, everyone will receive one of each of the tags (see notes below).  The pictures just don't do these tags justice, but again, it's just a sneak peak!  lol

Swap participants - if you would like me to include a description as to how you created your tag, please send me a private message on SOC boards!  Thanks!

Yet another personal tag challenge - did I say I'm addicted?!?!
This is part of my "Craft It Forward" project.
I'm going to create these and give it to someone else to use.
I am targeting my Sunday School class to receive these tags.   Our class is mostly senior citizens and me.  lol
This pic is showing the tags "in production."

This are more pics of my craft it forward project.
The tags are coming close to be completed.
The mini tags are from K& Company.
Then I embellished them.  Each tag is different.
Heart charms are held on by ribbon.
The larger shape is none other than a Nestabilities cut which has been embossed.
I will mount the tags onto an embossed white card base.
Inside of the cards will have a scripture (inspiration from Edie - thanks, Edie!)
(see Edie's wonderful tag below)

If you have been remotely following me over at SOC or on FB, then you know my new crafty love is Spellbinder's Nestabilities.  I'm hooked!!!!!!!
This tag was created by Nestabilities and Creative Memories heart punches and a brad from my stash.
The personal challenge with this tag was to create a non-rectangular tag.
It's simplistic but delicate at the same time.  The picture does not show the embossing that well.
Swap participants received this tag from me as well.
So some folks got two tags from me and some got 3.  See notes below.

RJ and I partnered together to where we both made 1/2 of the tags for the swap.  This is my contribution - a non-traditional Valentine's Day Tag.
The mini tags were pre-printed and varied.  The picture below is another variation of this tag design.  I used K&Company paper which I embossed with the Cuttlebug Hearts folder (it doesn't really show up in the picture).  Nestabilities to cut the larger tag shape.  Ribbon, and bling.  I mounted the tag on a kraft base card which I embossed with the swiss dots folder. The card was given to my Sunday School teacher with a cash gift for her dedication, service and support.  Purple is her favorite color.

This tag was a part of the swap and included a small gift for each of the swap participants.  My personal challenge on this one is to do something over and above my usual style - which is simplistic.  This tag is my "bling" tag.  It has ribbon, and all types of bling, a flower with a brad, pearls and iRock gems.  The base is TH #8 tag, the background paper is actually a shopping list.  I stamped a flourish and tied a charm with some ribbon and there you go, my over the top tag.  I tried to use what was in my stash so there are variations with different ribbons or different bling.  This is the general idea though.  :)

In the past month, I created over 100 tags!   I guess I got a little tag crazy!  lol
With each tag design, I tried a new technique or attempted to make it different than any of my other tags designs.
This tag was not shared in part of the swap but was sent for some RAK's for crafty friends and some "thinking of you's" for non-crafty friends.  It cost two stamps to mail it so I'm re-thinking "who" will get this.  Probably folks that I can hand it too!  lol  I'm thinking I need to write the cost of postage into my budget.  (jokin' well maybe!)
The base is a TH #8 tag, masked and stamped with TH ink in the background.  I used my Nestabilities and a matching stamp to crete the mini tag which is pop-dotted.  I wrote on it to say "You Make My Heart Sing".   I usually don't write on a tag but I wanted the personalization of it. Flashes of cursive writing class from 2nd grade flashed in my mind!
The hearts are CM and Fiskars punches. The heart clip is from Michaels.  TFL!
