Beautiful tag.

Thank you Sweet Lila!

Very interesting project...never would have been able to design this for myself...came out quite nice. This is my first year working on tags as gifts...happy to say my creative mind is expanding! Once I came across a card/tag stand die I really liked using, tags seemed to come into focus for me. I'm in favor of a bit more color for my winter projects. Still, this tag is beautiful. Nice work!

[@kathyclementkathybydesign]

Thanks, Martie! I'm so glad you are having fun making tags. The possibilities are endless, aren't they? Thanks for the kind words!

Beautiful Kathy! Couple of questions- do the tags come with the brads/grommets? What do you use to put them on with? I have resisted using tags because of the unknown! Lol 😂

[@kathyclementkathybydesign]

Hi, Terry! Great questions! Yes, G45 tags come with the grommets attached, so that is a big time saver. The dies cut out a hole at the top that perfectly fits around the grommet, so that makes life easier, too. Hope that helps you get over your fear of the unknown! hugs!

[@terrylaw4508]

@kathyclementkathybydesign thanks Kathy! And what do you use to attach the grommets?

[@kathyclementkathybydesign]

@@terrylaw4508 if you use the G45 tags, you do not need to attach the grommets. They are already in the tags. But if you make your own tags, use a Crop-a-Dile and eyelets from We R Memory keepers. They work well. Hope that helps! xo

[@sharongroves6200]

If I do not have the tag die how can I create a tag

[@kathyclementkathybydesign]

Hi, Sharon! I started purchasing these G45 tags as soon as they came out. If you don't have the die to cut the liners, simply cut a rectangle of paper that is 3/8" smaller than the width and don't try to cover the domed area. To make your own tags, you can cut rectangles of cardstock, shape the corners with a punch and add your own grommets. Maybe I should do a tag tutorial that shows how to do that.

@@kathyclementkathybydesign thank you for the tips and I would love to see a tutorial on creating tags Happy and safe 4th

[@kathyclementkathybydesign]

@@sharongroves6200 that sounds like a great plan to me! xo
