Tags with plaid backgrounds

About 10 days ago I posted a tag with a plaid background. And since I really liked that background, I decided to make more. So I made 6 different background with. I really enjoyed mixing the colours and creating my own plaid backgrounds. First I show you the tags then I give you a tutorial.

Well, here is the tutorial.

I cut out the three layers of the Sizzix Layered Plaid die set from different colours. Sometimes I didn't use one of the cut out layers because I didn't find that colour good enough for the other two.  Here you can see the layers before gluing them together.

Then I glued them together.

Then I cut out the tag shape from these background panels. I added white paint to the edges.

I also spritzed them with white paint.

The cookie forms are made the same way like here. But this time I used not just the gingerbread men but more shapes.

For the Fa-la-la-la-la text I used the Holiday Drawings stamp set. I also stamped on the back sides. For those texts, I used the Bold Tidings Mini stamp set.

What I used:

Sizzix Thinlits die, Fresh Baked 1 by Tim Holtz (663100)
