12 Weeks of Christmas Tutorials with His Little Ones characters: Week 3

Hello friends!
We get a number of emails from crafters who do not enjoy coloring, but love our His Little Ones characters!  Today's post is dedicated to them as well as all who enjoy a nice, quick, craft---VINTAGE CIRCLE TAGS!

The key is to use a distressed color of ink.  I chose the Ranger Distress Ink: Walnut color.  I used it for sponging around the circle as well as stamping the letters, verses, and character stamps.  First, I got out my bag of circle tags with a kraft cardstock base:

Next, I used the Walnut ink to stamp my Inspired Stmaps: His Little Ones character stamps and the words with Labelmaker Alphabet.  Then I sponged random dark areas of walnut ink to give the tags their vintage look (note:  if you don't get a solid stamped image, it adds to the vintage look):

I attached these to a paper treat bag, but you could make a set of these as gifts for a friend, put them on Christmas or classroom presents, or even hang them on your Christmas tree (Many of our 2x2 Single Scripture Stamps would fit on a number of circle tag sizes!):

We are giving away prizes each week of our 12 Weeks of Christmas Tutorials!  Just leave a comment on this project below or on our Facebook page and we will choose/announce our winner of a $10 store credit in next weekend's post!
