A Big Day Birthday Tag

I found some fun birthday tags at Amy's Paper Crafts.  I thought it would be fun to make one for my sister's birthday gift bag.  Not instead of a card but just to have a fun and colorful tag on the bag.

I used Pumpkin Pie for my colors here.  Mostly because I had some Pumpkin Pie ribbon and thought I would use it.  The gift bag is white, so it didn't matter what color I used.

I used the "Big Day" Sale a Bration set.  It's a fun set that I had only used the one image from.  And today I used 3 more!!!  I'm on a roll!! LOL

I liked the tag that Amy had made and I just had to make one.  I LOVE this tag punch and I think I'm going to be making a lot of my own Christmas tags this year.  If I plan the paper right (2" wide) I can print out the "to and from " on the computer and just cut, punch and stamp away!!!  I should be able to get about 8 tags from one sheet of card stock.  Not bad at all!!  I'll work on that and if I get it right I may post it so you can download it and make your own Christmas tags too!  That's a big if right now, I've got a million things going on and time is eluding me!!!

Anyway, back to this fun tag.  I set the cake circle in place with Dimensionals.  I love it too, that you can add more than one candle on the cake.  I may even make a tag for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday!!!

I used a strip of Pumpkin Pie decorative paper at the bottom.  Another reason to save those tiny scraps.  But no, my piece isn't from a scrap.  I don't often save them that small.  

This was a very fun and quick tag to make!!  I can't wait to see what new Christmas stamps Stampin' Up! comes out with that would fit in a 2" circle so I can make tags.  Though I do have a lot of retired ones that I could use too, but new is always more fun!

Thank you SO much for visiting today,
Wanda
