Simple Snowman Gift Tags

Christmas has come and gone for 2013,
but we are still snowed in!
I made a super simple gift tag, and
it turned out so cute, I made dozens more
and thought I'd share:


Supplies:
Kraft cardstock and XL punch
1" sponge dauber
Acrylic paint: white, black
Dimensional paint: orange
Pink Powder Blush and cotton swab


 Punch out your tags ...
Dip your sponge dauber into white paint
and pounce ... either in the center,
or over to the side (I wasn't sure whether
I might want to add a name or a message, so
I pounced on the far side of the tag!)





Dip a stylus into black paint
to add the eyes.


 Use the cotton swab to
apply blushed cheeks to each
snowman head.



Add the carrot nose with the
orange dimensional paint.

these dimensional noses,
as well as the dots ...

Use the stylus dipped in black paint
to add the mouth.  Dipping the stylus before
each dot will give you same-sized dots.
To get dots decreasing in size,
dip once and dot two or three times
before redipping.  Experiment
on scratch paper first so you'll be happy
with your little black dots!
