Christmas Tags
by Lea Lawson
"Prima makes it easy to dress up your holiday gifts & baskets! The
plethora of paper flowers, wooden buttons & velvet trinkets will put
a smile on any recipient's face. You can also easily customize the
sentiment using Prima's alphabet stickers."
"Everything I used today, other than the cut-out labels, came from a non-seasonal collection, so be sure to look through all of your product and see what fits your holiday needs!" ~Lea
Tips: Lea is right! Look through your supplies and find items that are not Christmas-themed and use them! You will be surprised at how many items add that perfect touch to your tags.

Pastel Winter Tag
by Maiko Kosugi
Maiko brings us a gorgeous flower garden on her tag! If you love soft colors and a feminine style then try some of her tips on creating the perfect tag.
Tips: Choose flowers & papers in lighter tones; add a doily for a sweet touch. Cluster flowers together to create a focal point. Dab white paint or gesso on the papers and flowers for a shabby chic feel. Tuck pearl swirls in here and there.

Gerry created a lovely tag featuring her husband and herself in paper form! :) Our Jack & Jill line can be used for any wintery theme and is perfectly situated on this LOVE-filled tag.

by Stacey Young
Stacey's tag is a gorgeous compilation of papers, resins, flowers, and Stacey's signature style. It also includes Prima packaging. See if you can find it!
Tips: Layer papers, resins, flowers to fit your theme. (The banner is actually made from our latest packaging!) Wrap twine around the frame for a shabby chic nest effect.

Artsy Tags
by Marie-Nicolas Alliot
It's technique time! Marie-Nicolas loves to use our masks and lots of art mediums. For these two masculine tags she used a Prima gear mask and a few colored sprays. First spray your favorite colors over the mask...
Then quickly pick up the mask (while still wet with spray), flip it over, and use it as a stamp on a new tag! Not only will you create a fun new look, but you won't waste any spray either. Decorate each tag with a few of your favorite Prima masculine touches: like our new Junkyard Findings.
You can also try these technqiues with a girly tag! Marie-Nicolas used Raspberry and Citrus Adirondack inks, along with an older pink Prima ink to color this tag. Splash on a bit of Marmalade Distress stain and China Ink to complete the watercolor look. Punch out circles from musical sheets to stitch on. (What a cool tip!) Finish off with a few Prima favorites and you have a joy-filled beauty!

Honeycomb Tag
by Leslie Ashe
Just look at this beauty by Leslie! Want to re-create it? Start with kraft cardstock. (It will lend itself to any color palette.) Add die-cuts or punched shapes in darker, but neutral, tones for lots of texture. Touch the tag with a few art mediums (Try Ranger's Distress Stains or paint dabbers), then wrap with twine.
The embellishments you pick could make this tag either feminine or masculine. Leslie chose our new Junkyard Findings typo bulbs, twine, wood clip and a stained resin bird to make this tag simple divine!

Pretty Tag
by Steph Devlin
Last, but certainly not least is this gorgeous tag by Steph! Paper punches and layers of Prima goodness all contribute to the beautiful effect.
