Sophisticated Sled, Greetings of the Season, Christmas Tag, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I started making Christmas tags. I don't know why I made these, they just get tossed out. I do know why I make them, they are just too cute, so why not! Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the tag is a piece of Basic White card stock. I textured it first using the "Timber" embossing folder. I cut it out using the largest die in the "Greetings of the Season" bundle. I prefer to cut first and then emboss but with this folder I thought it would shrink up my piece a bit so I embossed first and then cut. Fortunately the texture remained after cutting. 

After cutting the tag I added a piece of Baker's Twine for the hanger.

Next I took a 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Snowy Scenes" 12" x 12" package. I glued it to the center area of the tag.

Then the sled from the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. The runner was cut from a piece of Early Espresso card stock. The body of the sled was cut using Pecan Pie card stock. 

The skates and laces were cut from a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I glued the laces in place though the slot on the skates.  I used some silver foil card stock for the blades and I glued them in place. Then I glued the two skates together but offset a bit.

Glue dots were added behind the skates so I could add the Baker's Twine. My piece of Baker's Twine is about 3" long. I used a glue dot for the center of the twine and then attached the ends to the back of the skates. Once the twine was stuck to the back of the skates I added Dimensionals to the back making sure I put one on each side over the twine so it stays in place. More Dimensionals were added to the back of the skate and it was set in place on the tag.

The greenery was cut using a scrap piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. I had stuck it to the glue dot that's holding the twine but it was a bit unstable so I ended up gluing it in place.

I colored 3 small pearls using my dark Cherry Cobbler Blends pen. I set them in place on the greenery and the tag was done.  

To and from will be printed on the back. It didn't come with the "Sophisticated Sled" bundle. I think I have another set with those words in it but I will just hand write it. If you want to stamp it you will need to do that before you texture and die cut it. I thought that would be a lot more work trying to get it straight. Another option is to stamp it on a separate piece of card stock and glue it to the back of the tag.

I made several of these today and I'm saving one out to work it into a card. I think it would be fun and cute. 

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas tag,

Sending Cheer, Joy of Christmas, Christmas Tag, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a gift tag to share with you. I found the tag at "Kards by Kadie". I was in need of a tag and I remembered how much I liked hers that she posted a few days ago. And I also remembered I have not used that die from the "Sending Cheer" bundle. So today I got the stuff out to make it. Please read on to see how I made the tag.

My tag is from the "Tailor Made" die set. I used the largest one with the angled top edges.  Then I stamped the "to and from" from the "Sending Cheer" bundle. I stamped them using black Memento ink.

Next I cut a piece of Real Red card stock that measured 2-1/4" x 2". I taped that to the front of the tag.

Then the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Joy of Christmas" 12" x 12" package. It measured 2" x 2".  I taped that to the Real Red card stock leaving a border on each end.

The hat was die cut from the "Sending Cheer" bundle using Real Red card stock and the fluff on the hat was die cut from a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I glued the fluff pieces to the hat. Before I added Dimensionals to the back of the hat I took a tiny scrap piece of copier paper (any paper will do) and added a bit of glue around the hole in the cap on the backside. The scrap piece was added. The Real Red dot that came out of the hole was glued in place and the hat was now ready for Dimensionals. Once they were added (not on the puff at the end of the hat) I set the hat in place on the tag and the tag was done.

This was fun, quick and easy to make and it's too bad that I only needed one because I could make a bunch of these in no time.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas tag,

Sending Cheer, Christmas Tags, Stampin' Up! 2023

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I decided to play with the new "Sending Cheer" stamp set. I thought I'd try a gift tag. I usually just purchase them from the Dollar Tree because they are 99.999% tossed out. I will admit I have saved some gift tags because I thought they were cute (they were NOT from the dollar store!) That's why I didn't say 100%! LOL  But today I thought I'd take a chance at that .001% and make a tag. I will probably make a few more and put them on special packages but ones for the grandkids will be from the dollar store.  Please read on to see how I made today's tag.

The tag is punched out using the die from the "Sending Cheer" bundle. I cut a 2-3/8" x 1-5/8" piece of Basic White card stock for the front of the tag. I had originally cut a Basic White tag but it was too white for the piece and looked a bit blah.

Next I stamped the cute gingerbread boy using Pecan Pie ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. The hearts were lined up and stamped using Real Red ink and the eyes and mouth were stamped using black Memento ink. I die cut him using the matching die.

I set the pieces together on my worktable so I could see where to stamp the "to" and "from".  I did cut my "to" and "from" apart so they are no longer one stamp. I thought they were just too close together. What if someone has a longer name or what if the gift is for more than one person. It always seems like there's more room to write on the "from" part of tags. So cutting it made it easier to place wherever you want on your tags. After seeing where I wanted them to go I stamped them using black Memento ink.

Next I taped the stamped "to" and "from" piece to the Real Red tag. Then I set the gingerbread boy on to to see where it will look the best. I held it firmly and turned it over.  I slit it a little bit away from the edge and I lightly drew a pencil line. I did this so I would know where to not put any glue or tape. I used glue for mine because I wanted those few seconds of movement to get him exactly where I wanted him. Once the gingerbread boy was set in place the tag was done. 

This was such a quick tag to make. Causing me to rethink the homemade tags thing this year even with the 99.999% in mind!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas tag,

Penguin Place, Gift Tags, 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog

I was in need of a couple of gift tags. I didn't want to run out to the store and buy more. Like I'd find any this late in the month anyway.  I could have gone online and found some to download but if I'm going to download, print and cut, I might as well just make my own!  So here they are. 

I used the retired "Scalloped Tag Topper" punch. I didn't have anything current that would look cute. And it really didn't matter, it's not like the tag is going to be saved and cherished for all eternity! LOL   I punched a 2" x 4" piece of Basic White card stock. I cut and punched two, one of Fresh Freesia and one of Soft Sea Foam card stocks.  

The Basic White tags were cut at 3" x 1-1/2".  I was careful to try to get the piece inside the punch equally on both sides.

I took a scrap piece of the Fresh Freesia snowflake Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Penguin Playmates" 12" x 12" package and the Soft Sea Foam trees too.  I cut them at 2" x 1-3/4" each. I taped them to the bottom of each large tag.

Then I took some DSP that had the penguins sitting and I punched them out using the "Penguin Builder" punch. I added Dimensionals behind them. I set them on the Basic White tags but didn't affix them. I needed to see where the words were going to go. 

I set the words up in my Stamparatus. I needed to mask off part of the words on the stamp so only the "Be Merry" were exposed.  Then I inked it up with Soft Sea Foam ink and stamped the words.  I headed back to my cutting board because I forgot to remove the post it tape I had covering the words I didn't want.  UGH.  So I got the one done for the Fresh Freesia tag.  For the second tag, I managed to mess that one up too. And again, UGH!  Back to the cutting board.  I actually messed it up twice.  The third time was a charm, right?  Wrong. I had taken out the Mint Macaron ink thinking that might have been what I needed but it wasn't.  Not looking, I grabbed it and stamped the words.  I decided to just use them. Again, it's not like the tags are going to be saved! 

Next I affixed the penguins.  Then I grabbed some white Baker's Twine and some ribbons and threaded them through both tags at the same time. I looped them through the opening from front to back and slipped the ends through the loops and pulled.  I trimmed the ends and the tags were done.  I probably could have gone to and come back from the store quicker than it took me to make these with all the mistakes!!! LOL But they are done. They are homemade and as soon as I get done typing this, they will be on a couple of packages!

They were fun to make (excluding the mistakes). I like how they look and I love the colors.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see today's Christmas tags,

Penguin Place, Mountain Air, Banner Year, Christmas Gift Tag

I was thinking about how nice the weather has been the past week. It's no longer super hot here in Minnesota. It's in the upper 70's and sometimes into the 80's but at least it's not the super hot stuff we've had most of the summer.  And I was thinking of winter being just a few months away as well as Christmas. Christmas made me think of making some Christmas gift tags this year since I have some time and found a cute and fun one to make. Now I need to decide on how many I'm going to make and I try not to think that they will just get thrown away after the package is open!

I found this tag on Pinterest but I did have to make a few changes. You can see the original tag here. 

The base of the tag is a 2" x 5" piece of thick Basic White card stock. I punched the top using the "Scalloped Tag" punch. I didn't have the tag dies that were used on the original card but I made this punch work!

I didn't have the tree that was used on the original card but I did have a tree die from the "Mountain Air" bundle so I used that on a piece of Fresh Freesia card stock. I did have to cut the tree down a bit, it was a pretty tall tree.

I stamped the tag using the snowflake images from the "Penguin Place" set using Fresh Freesia ink. I colored over the larger snowflakes using my Wink of Stella pen.  Did you notice it's been a few days since I've used it?  LOL

I fussy cut the penguin from the "Penguin Playmates" 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) and I added Dimensionals to the back and set it aside. 

There was a tiny bird on the piece of DSP that I cut the penguin from and I fussy cut it too. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, I just new I didn't want to put it in recycling just yet. 

I put some Tombow Mono glue down on a piece of waxed paper and I set the tree on top to get some glue on it so it would stick to the tag. I set the tree in place about 1/2" up from the bottom. My tree measured 2-1/2" long after cutting it.

Now I knew where I was going to stamp the to and from. They are from the "Banner Year" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. Do you see the white showing around the black part of the penguin?  I did not use my black marker around him as I had done in the past. Do you see what a difference it makes? And do you see what a poor job I did cutting him out? Had I used the marker around the edges you would have thought I was SO great at fussy cutting. But I'm not and here's proof!  LOL

The penguin was added and then I thought I should use that cute little bird I fussy cut, so I glued it in place on the tag.

I took a 5" piece of Fresh Freesia ribbon and slipped it through the opening on the top of the tag. Then I took some white Baker's Twine and tied it around the ribbon. And that was it. A super quick and cute Christmas gift tag! And with room to write names large enough for people to read. Some of those store  bought tags don't leave a lot of room to write a name that is longer than 4 letters!

This was very fun to make and now I'm off to fussy cut a bunch of Penguins while I watch a movie. It doesn't seem like such a chore when I'm doing it in front of the tv.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see this sweet Christmas tag,

Snowman Season, Let it Snow Embellishments, Gift Tag

While cleaning off my worktable today, I found a white gift tag.  I set it aside and continued cleaning. I was on a mission, I HAD to get it done.  Several hours later I went in my workroom to make a card for my blog and I thought I would make a gift tag. I did need a special one, so I got to work.

I took out a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Let it Snow" 12" x 12" paper pack. I thought I had grabbed a small piece that just had the falling snow, but this one had falling snowflakes and red snowflakes.  But it was okay, I knew I was going to use the red ribbon yarn on the card and it tied it the colors together.  No pun intended!

I cut the DSP 2" x 6". It was already 6" long.  I punched the end of the tag using the "Scalloped Tag Topper" punch.  I taped the DSP to the Whisper White tag that I had found while cleaning.  I suppose you could get by without a backing on the tag but if you wanted to write something, you would have plenty of clear space.  

I cut a 2" x 1" piece of the Dazzling Diamonds glitter paper. I formed the rolling "hills" on it using a scissors.

I punched out a snowman from on of the sheets in the "Let it Snow" DSP package.  I also punched out another snowman using a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock. I taped those two pieces together.  

I taped the hat in place. The hat is also found on one of the pieces of DSP in the same pack. I just punched it out and taped it in place.

The arms are from the "Let it Snow" embellishment kit.  They are resin and you just peel and stick.  

The words are from the "Snowman Season set and I stamped them using black Memento ink. 

I took an 8" piece of the red yarn ribbon, folded it in half and slipped the folded part through the front and put the ends through the loop and pulled until the knot was formed.  And there you have it.  A super cute Christmas tag for someone special.

It's kind of sad about tags, they usually get tossed out!  But I'm okay with it because I had fun making it.

Hang Your Stocking Christmas Tags, Weekend Project

If you need some fun and quick tags, just grab the "Hang Your Stocking" set, some card stock and go play!

The trees were punched out using the Dazzling Diamonds glitter paper.  I sprayed them green using a mister bottle with rubbing alcohol and inker inside.  You do need to spray the back of these pieces to get them soaked. If not then the centers could possibly remain white.  This paper has to be soaked because it's so thick.

The "to and from" are included in the set.

The second card was even easier.  I used the "Candy Cane Lane" Washi tape.  3 little strips and the tag was done!  I may be making a lot of Washi tape tags this year.  I have LOTS of retired Washi tape and I would sure LOVE to use it up!!!

These were fun and super easy to make.

A Peaceful Pines Christmas Gift Tag

I have always loved handmade stamped tags, but I've never made any.  So today I thought I would give it a try!

I got out the Perfect Pines Framelits Dies and cut out a tree from a piece of Whisper White.  I had no idea where I was going with this.  I now had a tree shaped window in the middle of a strip of card stock.  I put the strip in the punch, it was a little too wide for the punch but I used it anyway.  You can see the curved edges. That how much it was too large for the punch!  

I was still lost!!!  I took a piece of decorative paper from the "Merry Moments" 6" x 6" decorative paper pack and I punched a tag using it too.

I had an old stamp sitting out that had "to and from" on it, so I stamped it on the white piece using Memento black ink.

I set the white piece on top of the decorative paper piece using Dimensionals.  I wasn't thrilled with what I saw but I was in too deep to stop there!

I thought some Mossy meadow sponging would help.  I even added some candy dots to make it look like lights or bulbs.  

I think my need for wanting to make a Christmas tag using stamping products is fed!!!  I'm heading back to cards and card crafts!!! LOL

Thank you for sticking with me on this one!!!

Gorgeous Grunge and Endless Wishes Snowman Tags

Aren't these tags fun? I found them on the Internet.  You can see the originals here.  I made a few little changes but not too many.  I should have sponged the edges but I forgot.  I may just leave them the way they are.  I need to use them and I don't want to wait for them to dry!!!

I cut my card stock 4-1/4" x 2".  I punched the tops using the tag punch.  Then I punched the circles using the 1" punch and the 1-1/4" punch.  I glued them together.  But I did glue the head to the back of the body snowball.  Once you tie the ribbon on you will see the bottom of the head ball.  So to avoid that you glue the snowman on "backwards". Or you can glue the top to the bottom and turn it over.  There's no way you can ruin that step!!!  I drew in the face using markers.

Once the balls were glued together, I brushed on some Crystal Effects and covered the pieces in glitter.  I did the bottoms first and then the head.  The paper starts to curl so it was best just to do half at a time.  Next I tied the ribbon around the neck in a knot.  I set them aside to dry.  I set them face down and I put punches on top to try to keep them flat.  

Then I stamped the background using the White Craft ink pad.  I used dots from the Gorgeous Grunge set. And I used the snowflake from the Endless Wishes set.  

I cut some scrap Whisper White card stock and cut the top part of it in a wave for the snow.  I covered that in glitter too.  Then I set the snowmen in place using Dimensionals.  I colored the rhinestones using the Blendabilities markers and I set them in place on the tags.  And that was it.  The original one shows the edges sponged in white and I will give that a try on one but I do need to use them now!!

These were fun to make too!!!

Endless Wishes Candy Cane Christmas Tag

This tag could use a bit more work if you are looking to make it into a to and from tag.  I was just thinking of using it as fun tag to tape to packages.  I could rework it a bit to make a "to" and "from" on it.

They are easy enough to make and you can make them as long as you want.  The width was 2" and you can decide how long to make them.

I used the "Endless Wishes" set to make the snowflakes.  I used Lost Lagoon and Soft Sky ink.  I sponged the edges with Lost Lagoon.

I used my x-Acto knife and cut two slits in the center to hold the candy cane.

They're very quick and simple to make.  And there's endless possibilities as far as images on the tag goes!!!

They also make perfect little stocking stuffer gifts!!

Holiday Home Gift Tags Weekend Project

I was actually trying to clean up the counter top behind my worktable and I ran across some stuff that I had to look through.  I found a Christmas tag from a gift I had received a few years back.  I'm not sure why I had saved it.  Perhaps it just got put in the tote I found it in so it would be out of they way!  I don't know why, it was a while ago that I did that.  Anyway, after seeing the tag I thought it would be fun to make up some tags.  I was wrapping gifts this afternoon and I had run out of tags.  I'm sure I have more in a box in the foyer closet but I didn't feel like going in there and getting them.  And since I was in my workroom and these didn't look that difficult to make I thought I would just make some.  

I cut some Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" x 4".  I scored them at 2".  The decorative paper is from the "Trim the Tree" paper stack.  I cut the strips 3-3/4" x 1-3/4".  I also cut strips of Whisper White card stock the same measurements.  I used those on the inside in case I wanted to write on the front or the inside, either way I was covered!!!  I was thinking of stamping "to and from" on the front but I kind of like them looking the way they are.  I guess I'll know when it comes time to put them on the packages I'll be wrapping tomorrow!

You can also punch a hole in the upper left corner and tie some baker's twine on.  

The snowman is from the "Holiday Home" stamp set.  I colored the scarf in using Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler markers.  I also added a little Pumpkin Pie marker for the nose!  I used my new Soft Sky ink pad and the snowflakes image from the same set. Giving the snowman some snowflakes on both sides of him dressed up that circle a bit.  Click on the photo for a larger view of the tag.  

These tags went together so quickly, which is good.  I think I may be in the need of a few more!!!  I might even do some snowflakes ones using the snowflakes from the "Endless Wishes" set.  

Have fun making these!!!

Candle Tag

While surfing the web I found this really cute tag and of course I thought I would try to copy it.  Well, I was not very successful.  Though I'm ok with how this one turned out, it's nothing like the beautiful one I found here.  Don't go look at it until you are done reading my post.  If you do, I know you won't be back to finish!!! LOL  

My plan for this was to make a "To and From" tag but because my tag was much smaller (obviously) than the original one I didn't have room for any words.  

I can always slip a little piece of paper under that slit below the hole on the top of the card or I can write on the back.  So it can still be used for a tag.

I used Real Red card stock for the background.  On top of that I used the  Elements of Style stamp set for the background.  I first stamped using VersaMark and then heat set the white embossing powder.  Then I stamped the background with the same image using Soft Suede.  I sponged the red piece with Soft Suede too.  I cut out strips of white card stock and sponged them. I also stamped the Elements of Style on the center candle.  

For the flames I used the new Champagne glitter paper.  I did cut them by hand.  

I used the Little Leaves Sizzlet to add some greenery to the front of the card.  On top of that I added some pine looking branches I punched out using the Martha Stewart punch.  I LOVE using that punch.  Those branch leaves are such fun to play with.  I added a piece of the green sewn ribbon and a large pearl in the middle.  I stuck them all together with some small glue dots and that was it.  

It was fun but a far cry from the one I found on the net.  There, now you can go visit it. Just click on that link above in red.

Snowman Gift Tag Weekend Project

Isn't this just the cutest snowman?  I thought so when I saw him on Pinterest and I had to copy the image because I knew I wanted to somehow use it for gift tags.  I have not made gift tags in a few years and it was just time.  Plus I was out of gift tags.  You can find this snowman by clicking here.  Paste him into your graphic software.  I stretched the bottom down a little bit to make him taller.  There just wasn't enough room for the writing.  Well, I didn't think so. Not at the size I made him.

I took a piece of label paper that measures 8-1/2" x 11" and I set it in the printer.  I set up my page so I had 8 tags on it and I just hit print.

Next I found a stamp set that has the "to" and "from" words in it.  I ended up cutting the image in half because both words were on one stamp.  I cut it in half, trimmed it up a bit and stuck it on the ends of the wooden block.  The set I found the words in was the retired Holiday Woodcuts.  Some sets I just can't seem to let go of and that is one of them!

Ok, once I got the stamp block ready I stamped all the "to's" on each snowman.  Then I stamped the "from" on each one and that was it for stamping.  I suppose if you want to be really lazy you could just use your software program and add the words so they print out all at once.  I opted for the stamping.  It's easy enough and quick enough.  I may print out a few more sheets.  I do have some shopping left to do!

Now if you are going to make these you must remember that they are for personal use only.  You can't make these to sell because the image does not belong to you.  No matter how much you stretch it out.  There are copyright laws you must follow or face the consequences.  I don't know what they are because I don't take other people's images for personal gain.  Wrong is wrong.  If you find the artist and ask that person if you can use their images to make items and sell them.  It's only right.

I have a few more tags on my blog.  You can see them by clicking here.  

So, I'm off to print out one more sheet and stamp on it and call it a night!

Two Tags Die Christmas Gift Tags

I bought the "Stocking Accents" die way back in the summer in my pre-order and had not used it.  Today I ran across some cute to and from tags made by Elaine at "Elaine's Creations" and just had to make them.  And now I feel bad that I had not played with this die before now.  It was a lot of fun and the season is nearly over.  I know there is always next year but....  Oh well, at least I got to play with it, right?

These were VERY fun to make and unbelievable easy too!  

Elaine's samples had ribbon for the hanging tag.  I didn't add anything yet, I'm still not sure what I want to put there.  I may just end up using some Baker's Twine.  That stuff is a lot of fun too!!

So, if you have not used your die yet, dig it out and play with it before Christmas is here!!

Hey! Let's Twist! Weekend Project

Fun song isn't it? But it has nothing to do with this project! I had gotten some FABULOUS homemade caramels for Christmas from a wonderful friend. These caramels are to die for. I have never made them and they look like they would be a LOT of work and time. I make too many other things so not making caramels is an ok thing!

These caramels were in a cute baggie and wrapped around the baggie was a twist tie "thing" but not your ordinary twist tie "thing." This one had designs on each end. SO I thought, "why not try this with decorative papers." I thought of the papers because it would be quicker but it can be done with rubber stamps, decorative brads, buttons and even the large eyelets. Well, they can be done with almost anything you can think of put in the space you are working with.

Materials for this project are as follows:

Twisties
1" red card stock
3/4" decorative paper (Giving credit where credit is due, it's a Debbie Mumm design)
glue
1" circle punch
3/4" circle punch

That's it. Just a few items needed to do this and a few minutes. Using decorative paper it doesn't take long at all to whip up a bunch of these.

My ties are silver. They came from some left over baggies packaging. I just never seem to throw anything away. Sometimes it's a good thing but on the other hand, how much "stuff" can you keep around too? I now have the answer to that question. You can collect and keep it as long as you have room for it. Once you run out of space (like I have) you must either use it or re-evaluate why you are keeping it or how much you still want to hang on to it! That is where I am at now. I must go through "stuff" to see what "stuff" I am going to keep before I add new "stuff" to the mess!! Back to the silver twisties. Personally I think the white ones would work the best. They are made using paper and glue sticks much better to paper. You could use glue dots or red line tape on the silver but it might make the circle too bulky.

Good thing there is not a tv show about messiest cupboards! They would cancel the show if they saw my cupboards. The gals who come over to stamp are not allowed to open cupboards. They are ALL told that if they open them they have to clean them!!! No one opens them! I don't even like to open them!!! LOL

Anyway, have fun making these. They sure do add a lot to your baggies! A perfect way to dress up a plain old sandwich bag!!

Flaky Tags!

I know it's a bit early for Christmas things but you have to start sometime. Anyone done with their Chritmas shopping?? I would answer no to that unless I was asked that question on the 22nd or 23rd of December!!! LOL

This is a fun little tag but I'm not sure I would make too many of them to put on gifts. I mean, they're just going to toss them anyway. Maybe if the top tag was laminated then you could just use some Staz-on remover and wipe the names off and use it again and again and again until someone actually throws it away!!! LOL

I did stamp the mitten on the white piece and color it. Then I stamped another mitten and cut it out after I colored it. I set it on top of the first mitten with a dimensional. I added a little hemp and a couple of tiny clothes pins. I used the snowflake stamp from the Flaky Friends set for the background of the white piece. I taped the layers together and punched a hole in the tag and it's now ready to use (if I dare!!!). LOL

Helen left a comment on this post asking about the tag. The tag was made by hand, no punches or die cuts. If you're going to make a bunch of these, to make it go faster, just make one small one and one large one and trace them. When I made mine I used copier paper to make my rectangle. Then I folded it in half and clipped the corners on one end. Open it up and you have symmetrical corners. For the layer tag I just set the other one on top and clipped one edge (on copier paper again) and then folded it in half to get both sides symmetrical. Now you have a pattern to crank out TONS of these!!!
