Gorgeous Gift Tags IG Hop - November 2025

 Hello,

It is time for another Gorgeous Gift Tags Instagram Hop, and this months we have the optional theme of - 

Vintage Vibes

A theme I found a little bit tricky, but I decided to give it a go. So here are my tags with a vibe of vintage (I think).

When I hear vintage I think of browns and black, so I started by ink blending two tags I had die cut using brown Distress Oxide inks. I was only going to make one tag, but I enjoyed the ink blending so much I ended up making two of them. I splattered some water on the tags to make the ink oxides and give the background some life. I also ink blended through a stencil using the same inks.

On my first tag I added some stamping, and as I for some reason kept thinking of Mary Poppins I decided to add my very own Mary Poppins to my tag. I die cut my Mary and her umbrella for some kraft-stock blackout paper. I then sanded the image to make the kraft paper show through the black, aging/ distressing it a little. I addhered my Mary with her umbrella to the tag and added the sentiment "Live the life you have imagined" and a piece of string

My second tag was a very quick and easy tag as I had already ink blended it. The only thing I added to the tag was a few rub-ons, a flower, a small bee and a greeting. After adding a string my tag was done. Quick and easy, but beautiful I think.

I hope you like my tags, and that you head on over to Instagram and hop along with us. I wonder if everyone has gone with the optional theme, and if not, what have they come up with?

Take care and happy hopping!
