To make my easy tags I cut a strip of Old Olive and stuck on a piece of designer paper which was a little narrower so the olive showed at the top and bottom of each tag.   I cut vanilla pieces all the same and then punched different corners on a few.   All the stamping was done using the very useful little stamps from Holiday Sampler and the To/From out of Winter Post.  I drew all my stitching lines on with a fineline pen.  When I started these I didn’t even know if I would like them, I don’t usually reach for Old Olive, but I surprised myself and had a lot of fun creating a different design on each one.

Stamps: Holiday Sampler, Winter Post
