Time to start on those St. Patrick's day makes! When all you have left
in your St.Patrick's Day paper pad is snippets you can make tags!
I cut strips of 1/2 inch from the snippets, traced the tag die on snippets of white
card stock and layered the strips diagonally before die cutting. I then got
playing with gold embossing powder, I added it to the shamrocks, tag edges,
and my dry embossed bottom tag. A bit of twine and I called it good.
I thought these turned out nice.
Second tag:
Supplies:
Hero Arts Infinity Tag dies
Lawn Fawn Lucky Clover dies
Embossing folders: StampinUp Splatters, Cuttlebug polka dot
Authentique Dublin patterned paper pad snippets

Perfect for the holiday. Happy Friday.
These double tags look stunning in the various green patterned papers with your added touch of gold.
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for a mug of hot chocolate shortly. xxx
The diagonal striping from your snippets gives these tags such great movement, and the mix of greens feels lively without being busy. The touches of gold embossing elevate everything, especially on the shamrocks and edges, and the dry embossed texture on the second tag adds such a nice contrast. A clever and polished way to use the last bits of a paper pad while keeping the designs fresh and festive.
These are fabulous and pretty tags, they would also work as bookmarks and would fit our Double D challenge!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Can You Handle The Pressure!

Your St. Pat's Day tags are so pretty! Love the different strips of paper and gold embossing!
WOW Donna your tag is simply stunnning. Love it! Thanks for sharing at JUGS this week.
Awesome tag! Your use of papers is fabulous. Thanks for joining in at JUGS.
Wonderful St Patrick's Day Gorgeous tag Donna! Love all the green and the gold. I was studying for my IT degree in Cheltenham and one year our pre-exam revision week coincided with The Cheltenham Gold Cup Horse Race. I've never seen so many tipsy Irish men in one town in my life! And each one was totally charming, lifting their caps with a gentle bow and holding a chair out for you ..... if you dared to venture into a bar during that week. Me Mammy was half Irish BTW! So, I'm biased!

Great St. Patricks tag and card. As son as I get back in my room (hopefully this weekend) I want to try the card using the snippets you have left over. I just saw someone else do this and thought oh how cool.
The tags are beautiful. I like the gold on the shamrock, a great idea. The paper would make awesome book marks, too.
Back again Donna. Thanks for playing along with us at We Love Stamping.
