Snowflake Tags - A "Happy Mistake"


Have you ever created something fun by mistake? When I was in the midst of prepping my club kits a few days ago, I had placed some of the snowflake shapes that I had just cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge on top of some plain tags that I had also cut from the AP cartridge. (I tend to make a bit of a mess in my studio when I am prepping for my classes. LOL!) Well, I looked over and saw the white snowflakes on top of the white tags and thought, hmm.... I might have something here. So, I reached for some of the leftover Sky re-inker/water mixture that I still had in my Spray Pen and spritzed the tags. I removed the snowflake “masks” and then stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Love stamp set, and the simple snowflake tags were born.

The white snowflakes ended up blue, so I think I will take them and adhere them to a white tag and play a little more...

  1. What a beautiful mistake! I actually did something similar. I was making a Christmas Card that I saw on-line but cut my images too large for the card. I loved them too much to do nothing with them so they became Christmas tags :)
