Hi, crafty friends. I have a couple of gift tags to share today, featuring two adorably quirky characters designed by Shari Bresciani for Purple Onion Designs.

Meet Kale and Flo. Aren’t they the funniest? There’s something about the way Shari’s able to create these goofy expressions on their faces that cracks me up.

I paired them with sentiments from the Holiday Blurbs II set, and stamped the green one using Jalapeño Popper and Sour Apple inks, both from My Favorite Things. I used Poppin’ Pink, also from MFT, for the pink one.

There are some differences between these. Kale is stamped and colored on the tag, while Flo is fussy cut and popped up. I used similar techniques for the background, but kept a lot of the same elements across both tags.

For Kale, I masked him off and ink blended around him using Coral Bliss and Pink Pearl inks from Altenew, as well as Scattered Straw Distress ink. I used the largest die in the Stitched Traditional Tag STAX set from My Favorite Things to turn him into a tag and then used the Falling Snow stencil from Simon Says Stamp with Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste from The Crafter’s Workshop to create snow coming down. I used Snowfall Grit-Paste from Ranger at the bottom of the tag and sprinkled on Rock Candy distress glitter before the paste dried. I then added a snowflake charm and some ribbon at the top of the tag and tied it together with Cotton Candy twine from Whisker Graphics.

On the back of the tag I did soft ink blending using the same colors and stamped a to/from stamp from the B06 stamp set from Norsk Stempelblad AS using Coral Bliss ink from Altenew.

Not a lot of colors used for this adorable bunny.

I used the same tag die, stencil, paste and inks for blending on this tag, but decided to add a little extra. I die cut the Silhouette Snow Trees from Mama Elephant from Stamper’s Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink, and on the trees I added Grit-Paste and Rock Candy Distress Glitter.

I let the trees dry, used liquid glue to adhere them to the tag and added Flo on top using foam tape.

I also used foam tape on the back of the speech bubble and used ribbon, a snowflake charm and some twine at the top for this one too.

Another stamp from the B06 stamp set from Norsk Stempelblad AS on the back of this one.

I used very bright colors for Flo.
