Twelve Days of Tags

We had another challenge on the Sizzix Eclips/Ecal FB page, this time to make 12 tags from any source using our Eclips cutting machine/software. We were to post one a day for the first 12 days of November. We posted our 12th tag today. I chose to do all of my tags using cutting files from SVG Cuts. I used multiple files types: cards,  boxes, bags,  box cards, flat collections, then took a single element (or two) and turned them into Christmas tags. The tags range from 3-1/4" to 6" tall.

Tag 1 (Reindeer) is from a card found in the Mistletoe Manor SVG Kit. I powder embossed the silver snowflakes in the background, and used Wink of Stella on the harness and antlers.

Tag 2 (Trees) is from a box card found in the Christmas Box Cards SVG Kit.

Tag 3 (Vintage Santa) is also from a box card from the same place, Christmas Box Cards SVG Kit.

Tag 4 (Snowman) is made with a cut file for a bag in the Happy Holidays SVG Kit.

Tag 5 (Wreath) is made from a card in the Silent Night SVG Kit. The wording and to/from elements were added in Photoshop, and then I used print-2-cut to cut it out.

Tag 6 (Stocking) is from a box card in the Silent Night SVG Kit

Tag 7 (Mitten) is revised from a box cut file found in the Santa's Sweets SVG Kit.

Tag 8 (Gingerbread Man) was also a box cut file in Santa's Sweets SVG Kit.

Tag 9 (Sled/Skates) is not so much Christmas as it is winter, but it still fits fine for the Christmas holiday. It is from a lever card found in the Winter Gazebo SVG Kit.

Tag 10 (Toy Soldier) is a gift bag from the Big Christmas Gift Bags SVG Kit. I used only one of the three, so had to do some manipulating because the three soldiers were all welded together.

Tag 11 (Ornaments) is from another flat collection, Christmas in the Village SVG Collection.

Tag 12 (Reindeer) is a combination of  two kits. The reindeer is from a flat collection called Comet's Candy Land SVG Collection, and the trees from the Camp Firefly SVG Kit.

 And, that's it. This was such a fun challenge, albeit a lot of work figuring out what cut files to use, what paper to use (I used 98% scraps for these projects), and what size/design to make the tags. We always learn a lot, and enjoy every minute in our challenges. If you have a Sizzix Eclips and use the ECAL software you should join us on Facebook! We have a very supportive and great group, and always like to welcome new members,  share ideas and techniques and what we make.
