I love cats and am happy to share a set of 8 vintage tags that I made. I've already used some for gifts and the rest will probably go in my journals. I won the cat digital called Cats Tucks and Sons Post Cards from Caroline's Craft Tree Etsy shop (thank you!) and decided to make some tags with these adorable vintage images. I tore the edges around the cats, inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and then decorated with tickets, paper flowers, butterflies, lace, and twine from my stash. Scroll down for close-ups of the tags.
Digital Images: Vintage cats (Cats Tucks and Sons Post Cards - Caroline's Craft Tree Etsy shop)
Background: Self-made masterboard using old book pages (see below)
Other: Flowers, gems, lace, baker's twine, tickets from my stash, self-made sentiments (Microsoft Word), hole reinforcer labels (thrift store find, distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink), Bira tag punch for the two smaller tags

Masterboard
Here's the neutral background (masterboard) measuring 8.5" x 11" that I made using old book pages found at second-hand/thrift shops. I cut the background into tag shapes and then had fun decorating them.

Fabulous vintage-style tags. Love the collage you added to your masterboard tags.
Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for cheese and wine later. Don't worry about getting down to the ground after a few glasses . . . we've pushed the slide up to the door. Wheeeeee! xxx
Fabulous kitten tags and I like that each is a bit different and includes a butterfly. Enjoyed the comic too dear friend!
It's a great assortment of tags with these cute cats, perfect for our optional theme at Allsorts challenge. But I do need to ask please can you specify which one you would select for Allsorts? As per our rules only one particular project from a collection (unless they are 100% identical) can be entered and entrant does need to specify which one is being used for the challenge entry.
Woudl really appreciate if you could update the post.

Hi Kitty! These tags are so cute! I can see how much work you put into making them. I love the way you cut the cats out and distressed the edges. They look wonderfully vintage! Thanks for reminding me that May and the challenge at SUYP are almost over. Big Hug! Debi
Hi dear friend! So glad seeing you popping out! :D Love how you made the collage masterboard, so creative! And all your vintage tags look wonderful! The kitties are so cute and fun!!

Sending big hugs, love and prayers on your way!!
Such a beautiful variety and selection and I love the design. You can discover something different on every tag. Enchanting!! Have a nice time!! Hugs Gundi
These tags are as cute as can be. You did a great job making the master board. I love the kitty cartoon you added to your post.
I'm cracking up at your kitty cartoon :-) Love the background you created for your tags. Beautiful and so creative. Your tags are lovely! The recipients are going to love them and treasure them for sure!
Have a wonderful day.

Your tags are per-fect--- nice job! Hope your life is going well. Have a blessed weekend.
Kitty, these cat tags are just fantastic, your master board is perfectly done. Way to go.
Thanks for sharing them I'm somewhat behind in your post, life is just not the same since I lost Vince. I'm taking life one day at a time and even that is hard.
I hope you are well. Take care Kitty.
