My "masculine" tags are done on manila shipping tags. I sponged the edges with brown ink to give them more of a vintage look, and used simple, nature-inspired images on them. (I couldn't decide for sure it that Stampin' Up image was holly or mistletoe, so one tag has red berries and the other white). I used the white string that came with the shipping tags.
The "feminine" tags are bright white with images of the more "commercial" side of Christmas -- candy canes and stockings. These images are both parts of larger stamps, so I ended up coloring the stamps with markers so that only the part I wanted to use would be inked up, and I didn't have to worry about stray partial images. I used coordinating ribbon and fibers on these tags.
I made all eight tags in the 45-minute time limit imposed by VSN, so I feel like I did well. Personally, I prefer the so-called masculine tags.
I am entering these tags in the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge "Anything But a Card." The are also for the CRAFT challenge #223 "Christmas."
Love the idea of his and hers Christmas Tags. I really like both designs so I would have either :) Thanks for sharing with us this week at Holly Jolly. Hope to see you again soon. Meighan DT
