Easy Embossed Tags

 I love making fancy tags, but I don't want to spend too much time on them because they are afterall just tags, usually serving a one-time use.  When I spotted this Sizzix fancy tag embossing and die set at HM Ben Franklin Crafts, I didn't hesitate to purchase it.  It has 8 dies and 3 embossing folders, so you can really make a great variety of tags.  I embossed the die-cut smaller panels and then rubbed them with Distress Inks to bring out the designs.  Next I cut two of each tag, one of cardstock and one of parchment paper.  I embossed the parchment tags in Darice folders so that when adhered to the cardstock tag a pretty design would show.  Next, I added some Petaloo flowers to the salmon colored tag and misc. leftover flowers to the lavender tag. Finally, some matching ribbons were attached to the tags and voila!...they were done....easy peasy.  I really recommend that you purchase this Sizzix set so that you too can lickety-split make some elegant tags and be ready for any occasion.  Happy Crafting!
