Hello, everyone! I'm becoming obsessed with "ugly" sweaters, but I want to make them "cute" sweaters! Today I'm sharing a sweater-shaped tag.
Sometime last year, I coloured this cute kitty and just found him in my unfinished pile the other day, along with some other kitties I had coloured. You'll have to stay tuned to see the other kitties!
Here's the back of my tag:
Products used:
- Clear stamps: Poppystamps Purrfect Holiday (kitty on front; sentiment on back), Poppystamps Kitty Cat Gift (to/from)
- Die: Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes
- Patterned paper: Lawn Fawn Bokeh in the Snow
- Digital image: Scrap n Stamp ugly sweater template
- Other: Snowflake sequins (tiny white ones on front; green one on back), Crop-a-dile, black eyelet, green twine
I started with the digital sweater template, printed it twice, once on white cardstock and once on patterned paper and then fussy-cut both. I die-cut the white one with the landscape border and adhered. The kitty had already been coloured with markers and fussy-cut, so I popped him up on foam tape. I finished the front of the tag by embellishing with a number of tiny white snowflake sequins.
For the back of the tag, I printed the sweater template again on white, fussy-cut, stamped the sentiment and to/from in green, and then adhered. I finished it off with a green snowflake sequin and adhered to the front of the tag. Using my Crop-o-dile, I added the eyelet and twine. With the layers, this is a nice, heavy-weight tag!

Your ugly sweater tag is so sweet... fun tag. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and Bitten By The Bug.
Now this is the opposite of an ugly sweater..and that little kitty agrees! What an absolutely adorable way to the use the template as a gift tag. Love the paper piecing and design so much. I tried to find the sweater template online but having no luck.
I've been tempted to buy an ugly sweater stamp set, but being able to make your own customized sweater is an even better idea. LOVE this!!
such a cute sweater. Thanks for sharing with us at Dies R Us Challenge Blog. We hope you will join us often.
