Yesterday was my husband's birthday and I wanted to decorate his gift package with a cute "manly" tag. I love this tag that folds open from the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge.
Check out the cuts below:
And from an oldie but goodie Cricut cartridge - Campout:
I used new papers from Close to My Heart that will be available starting February 1. The wood grain wrapping paper is from Target.
Here's a closeup of the tag below.
I wanted to use the Close to My Heart Card Chatter - Birthday stamp set because it is retiring January 31 and it's one of my favorite stamp sets! Take a look below:
And here's a look at the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge:

ReplyDeleteFabulous masculine tag. yes I usually make my tags.
ReplyDeleteI love making tags....great project..... I love the Camp Out cartridge.
ReplyDeleteI just started making tags but they are the kind of tags that I use for journaling on my LO's.
ReplyDeleteI love the tag you made it turned out awesome so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your sweet HUBBY!!!
thanks for the chance for an awesome prize.
I made a lot of cards instead and work on scrapbooking for my grandchildren. Mary Lou
ReplyDeleteTags are one of my favorite things to make. Love this manly tag. The burlap and bakers twine really finish it well.
ReplyDeleteI made a lot of Christmas tags, though I don't use them much otherwise, but this cute manly tag inspires me to make more!
ReplyDeleteAaarrggh...just left comment on the wrong post about CCR!! hahaha on me. Anyway, I do make some tags but they are such a great touch to scrapbook layouts and cards...need to do them more.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really made and tags. I usually make cards and scrapbook pages but I can see making one that opens like this one. What a great idea and tag.
ReplyDeletethat's a cool tag. I do make them but only at Christmas and for people I know who will appreciate them!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Joy, the new papers look great! thanks for the video and for all you do and share!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
I love the tag. I make mostly cards, but have done a few tags.

ReplyDeleteI do make my own gift tags, but I have to admit I have never used this cut even tho I own the cartridge! You show me so many things I have missed! And I seem to love 'em all! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI cut a number of tags at once and then have the blanks to decorate when I need one! I'll keep one of these made so I remember how you did it...it's very nice for a male! Those are the hardest to create...they end up looking feminine when I'm done with 'em most the time, but this one is PERFECT! Thank you!!!
What a cute idea! Thanks for the chance to win that adorable cartridge!
ReplyDeleteI made tags for the first time this year. I used CTMH cartridges and stamps. I am already planning tags for this for Christmas. What Fun and what great products!

I like to make personalized gift tags. I also like to have gift tags made up and on hand. That way if I don't have time to make a card, I can attach a tag to the front of a card blank and it serves as an instant card.
ReplyDeleteElaine S.
I have made a few for my husband at christmas time for his employees...I should make them more often!
ReplyDeleteGreat masculine tag! Fabulous video, I always enjoy them. I have gotten into tag making in the last few months and I love it! I plan to make some Valentine tags to go with the candy I'm giving. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRight now I do not use Cricut Craft room because Cricket is holding up my carts that are linked to a dead Gypsy. They want $39.00 to fix it and guarantee that it will work when done. I just use my carts on my machine. I really like the Garden Soup cart, though. Great images. carjo40@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI meant to say there is NO guarantee my Gypsy will work. carjo40@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have only made a couple plain tags, but think after seeing yours it might be fun to make them instead of buying them, a lot more personal. The one you made for your hubby turned out really nice. TFS
ReplyDeleteI love the tag and the giveaway, thanks for the great ideas.
ReplyDeletesekala45@roadrunner.com
I make a lot at Christmas !! But would live to learn to make more!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking gift package! I don't remember ever making a tag, but yours is so cute it has inspired me to give it a try. TFS!
ReplyDeleteI love your Manly card! The book is a good idea too.
ReplyDeleteVERY CUTE MANLY GIFT TAG...I have made many gift tags but really love your idea. I also love using the Craft Room with my cartridges, but have used many of the digital cuts too! Just so many things to try and so little time!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI've made many gift tags but mostly at Christmas so things don't get mixed up. I like the manly ideas you make
ReplyDeletekeep them coming. Happy Belated Birthday Mr. T. rosebud114

What a cute tag! I have both carts but I almost never use the camping on, now I might have to dust it off and see what other manly tags I and cards I can make with it.
ReplyDeleteCute tag love it, I do make tags but I think I need to add a little more bling now that I see yours thank you. Jane Duron
ReplyDeleteI have made some gift tags. For whatever reason, I got away from making them a while ago. I'm back into it again with a passion! I love them!
ReplyDeleteI've been making gift tags for years, but mainly using my rubber stamps. Now I can incorporate some tags from my cricut cartridge. I just have to do it!
ReplyDeleteI make my gift tags all the time. Love your manly tag. Thank you for the chance to win. Jill P., Manteca, CA
ReplyDeleteI make gift tags all the time as well.....however...sadly enough, some of my friends and relatives don't realize how much/little time and effort I put on them...so..they throw them away. Although, now, most of my friends and relatives say.."how cute is this tag...Fran, do you want it back to scrapbook?"...and of course, i always say "sure!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your tag with ous.
I have done some tags, not many, plan to do more this year. The manly tag was great! Always glad to see ways to make more manly paper crafts. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't make and use gift tags, but love making cards so I imagine I would enjoy it just as much! Gonna give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI make tags for Christmas every year. Don't usually for other times because there is usually no question who the present is for. Hadn't really thought of using them strictly as an embellishment. Have to give that a try.
ReplyDeleteI have mainly made Christmas Tags - guess I need to branch out. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLast year I made all of my Christmas tags. This year we are in the ,middle of a move and I didn't have time or the equipment here. Hopefully - next year.
ReplyDeleteI make all my own tags for Xmas and have been trying to keep a bunch made and ready top go if I just want to tie it to the present or plant or whatever...it's a smart idea!! Happy Birthday Joys husband!!.whoot whoot!! Gabbylou@live.com
ReplyDeleteI have not used the Cricut craft room. It is on my list of things to do. I would have to relocate my cricut to get it attached to the computer..... Not sure if I want to do that. I just head to my Expression and cut out what I need.
ReplyDeleteI do love your tag. Something manly. Terrific.
Jean Babb I like the Garden Soup cartridge. That would be a nice one to win.
ReplyDeleteCute card.

ReplyDeleteLast year I made a few of the Christmas tags but this year I made all of the Christmas ornament tags....which was our card..Next year a card with photo. Thanks for chance to win a cartridge.
ReplyDeleteI make tags for gifts. Sometimes you don't need a card and a tag works perfect. Love your tag and the wrapping paper.
ReplyDeleteLove making tags for card,s, scrapbooking, tag book,s. So many ways you can make to use them. So much fun to do with tags. Neat new giveawy.thks.

ReplyDeleteI don't make tags. I mainly make cards. I do like your manly tag.
ReplyDeleteI have never made gift tags before but I'm going to start. I really like the one you made!
ReplyDeleteGreat tag. Thanks for the manly inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I make gift tags. The are fun to make! But many times I give a card with the gift so it seems a bit unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteI do make gift tags instead of giving cards. thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI have made Christmas tags for gift bags with my Cricut before, and I am hoping to make a lot more of them this year. Love the Garden Soup cartridge and the chance to win it!

I love making my own tags it really lets the person that you are giving the gift to know they are truly special.
ReplyDeleteLuria
Such a great manly tag! I love to make tags to add to gifts and projects! Carri~Abusybee
ReplyDeleteI love the manly tag ,I too make a lot, they are so easy and cute with help from my Cricut.
ReplyDeleteI love the tag! Love that there are layers of color, texture, and medium but still very masculine. I haven't created tags yet...I am only into this craft about 18 months....but I would love to. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity...I hope I win :)
ReplyDeleteNope never made tags but ready to get started. Thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteYes, I make Tags. Like the burlap used & way the Tag opens. Not made that one before. Will definitely give it a try.
ReplyDeleteMelissa

I haven't made any tags, but your cute tag has inspired me to branch out and try a few. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I make gift tags but I usually don't have time to always make them
ReplyDeleteMost people don't even pay attention to the detail I put into wrapping so I figure what's the point? If they were as much fun to make as this looks and don't take much time, though, I might change my mind.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried gift tags, but they're on my "to do" list for next Christmas. I'm hoping to get them made during the summer so that I'll be all ready for gift wrapping at holiday time next year!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win "Garden Soup"!! Love the cuts on that cart!
Sometimes I don't plan very well and don't have time to make a cute tag. If I am organized enough at that particular time that I do a present and give myself time, I will do a matching/coordinating tag. I don't do them nearly as often as I should because they can be the "wowser" to a very plainly wrapped or bagged present.
