<p>With May well underway, we are now less than half a year off from Halloween&#8217;s return. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f973.png" alt="🥳" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>This fact makes me giddier than if I had a sugar rush from eating a dozen deluxe caramel apples. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f604.png" alt="😄" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>And it means that as we embrace the t-minus six months point until All Hallows’ Eve, I’ll be ramping up my <strong>Halloween papercrafting</strong> all the more.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-11-1024x683.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2071" width="683" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-11-1024x683.png 1024w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-11-300x200.png 300w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-11-768x512.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-11-1000x667.png 1000w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-11-400x267.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-11.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>For today’s <strong><a href="http://witchcraftedlife.com/introducing-makehalloween365-the-craft-project-hashtag-for-halloween-fans-and-crafters-everywhere">#MakeHalloween365</a> project</strong>, I’m sharing a set of five super cute, fun, and very easy to make <strong>Halloween gift tags</strong> that I created a bit earlier in the year.</p>



<p>This set of Halloween gift tags was included as part of some <strong>October 31<sup>st</sup> related happy mail</strong> that I recently posted to a dear friend on the other side of the country.</p>



<p>We’re both <strong>die-hard Halloweenoholics</strong>, and I love knowing that just like myself, she adores receiving spooky season mail at any point in the year.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-1-725x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2060" width="683" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-1-725x1024.png 725w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-1-213x300.png 213w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-1-768x1084.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-1-400x565.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-1.png 850w" sizes="(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px" /></figure></div>



<p>This sweet, festive Halloween tag set was intentionally left on the simple side, so that my friend could, if she so desires, use them as tags on presents for other people.</p>



<p>If one wanted, they could add some bling, enamel dots or other embellishments, (3D) bows, charms, or various other components here, too. Again though, I was aiming for eye-catching, but not overly complex.</p>



<p>As much as I adore an in-depth project with oodles of layers and details, sometimes it is both refreshing and enjoyable to put together quicker makes like these five tags.</p>



<p>The whole set took me less than 1.5 hours to whip up. Which, let me tell you, is mighty speedy in terms of how long it usually takes me to complete a papercrafting project. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-7-683x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2066" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-7-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-7-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-7-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-7-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-7.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Not everything we make needs to be uber elaborate or take scads of time. This is something I have to remind myself of a touch more often. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f604.png" alt="😄" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>The jumping off point for this set was four cut apart squares on a 6”x6” piece of Recollections Halloween paper.</p>



<p>I knew that I wanted a set of five tags, however, but did not want to repeat any of the same images. </p>



<p>Thus, for the fifth gift tag, I opted for a dimensional Halloween word sticker from Jolee’s Boutique, which I feel fits in well with the general colours and themes of this gift tag set.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-9-683x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2068" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-9-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-9-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-9-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-9-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-9.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>You could easily skip making the 5<sup>th</sup> tag and stick with four tags instead, if so desired. Or, conversely, you could keep going and create additional gift tag designs as well. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to create this charming 5-piece set of Halloween gift tags</strong></h3>



<p>As each of these tags are very similar to one another, I’m not going to bore you all by repeating what would essentially be the same instructions multiple times.</p>



<p>Instead, I’ll outline the general steps involved with each and refer you to the numerous project photos peppered throughout this post for precise specifics on each individual tag.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-8-683x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2067" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-8-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-8-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-8-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-8-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-8.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>To begin with, die cut five matching stitched edge tags. Two from white cardstock, two from black cardstock, and one from orange cardstock.</p>



<p>Next, using a slightly smaller sized stitched edge tag die, die cut four tag shapes from (four) different pieces of Halloween paper from the 6”x6” paper pad, along with one tag from metallic gold cardstock.</p>



<p>Adhere the one patterned paper, or gold cardstock, tag shape to each tag base.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-6-683x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2065" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-6-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-6-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-6-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-6-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-6.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Die cut five tags of the same (smaller of the two dies) size from white cardstock. Adhere a blank white tag to the back of each tag. This then enables you, or your recipient, to write a message on the back of each of these gift tags, if they wish to do so.</p>



<p>On the gift tag with the gold metallic cardstock tag layer, adhere a strip of pleated black ruffle trim.</p>



<p>Die cut a crescent moon from metallic gold cardstock, a bow from black cardstock, a bare branch wreath from white cardstock. Attach these die cut pieces to their respective gift tags.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-5-683x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2064" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-5-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-5-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-5-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-5-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-5.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Cut out the Halloween image pieces from the same 6”x6” Recollections Halloween paper pad.</p>



<p>Using either a black ink or white gel ink pen (and, optionally, a ruler to help keep your lines straight) hand draw stitching around the edges of each of the four Halloween paper pieces.</p>



<p>Using foam dots, adhere each of the four Halloween images to its own respective tag.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-4-683x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2063" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-4-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-4-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-4-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-4-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-4.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>For the fifth tag, die cut a smaller sized (third) stitched tag using black cardstock. </p>



<p>Attach a piece of black lace to the tag base, top with the small black tag, and top that piece with the Jolee’s Boutique “Scary” sticker. </p>



<p><strong>Note:</strong> this is the only tag out of the five that calls for a third size of tag to be die cut.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-12-725x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2072" width="683" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-12-725x1024.png 725w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-12-213x300.png 213w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-12-768x1084.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-12-400x565.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-12.png 850w" sizes="(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px" /></figure></div>



<p>Attach a loop of black and white baker’s twine through the small hole at the top of each of the gift tags.</p>



<p>And just like that, your fast, easy, and <strong>frighteningly cute five-piece Halloween gift tag</strong> set is done.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The versatility of handmade gift tag sets</strong></h3>



<p>Handmade tag sets like these have a multitude of uses. Naturally, using them as part of your gift wrapping is a great way to put them to good work, but it’s not the only one.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-3-683x1024.png" alt="Cute, Fun, and Very Easy to Make Halloween Gift Tag Set" class="wp-image-2062" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-3-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-3-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-3-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-3-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Cute-Fun-and-Very-Easy-to-Make-Halloween-Gift-Tag-Set-3.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>You could skip adding the white cardstock layer on the back and instead adhere one or more of these tags to a scrapbook layout, Project Life page, card, larger tag, mini album, Memorydex card, tag flip, pocket letter, or other paper crafting project.</p>



<p>Or <strong>why not attach all five tags to a length of trim or sturdy string and hang them as an adorable mini garland?</strong></p>



<p>You could also include them in a Halloween paper crafting swap or some happy mail, gift them to your child’s teacher, or pen a note on the back of each and slip into your little one’s (or significant other’s) lunches throughout the month of October.</p>



<p>And, of course, they make for delightful pieces of festive Halloween décor sprinkled throughout your house or clustered together, such as on a Halloween tiered tray or a lovely dish.</p>

<p>Plus, if you needed to make a larger number of tags like this, they are quick and easy, so whipping up ten, twenty, thirty-one – you name it – shouldn’t take an immense amount of time.</p>



<p>I really enjoyed making this fun set of Halloween gift tags and hope that you do as well, if you give a similar project a go.</p>



<p><strong>Be sure to tag your own creations with #MakeHalloween365 when you share them online so that we can all be inspired by your fa-boo-lous Halloween crafts</strong>.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>To help contribute to the projects shared using my recently launched #MakeHalloween365 hashtag, starting with this beautiful Halloween sunset tag, I'm going to be posting at least one October 31st themed project a month (yay!).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Earlier this month I announced the creation of the <a href="http://witchcraftedlife.com/introducing-makehalloween365-the-craft-project-hashtag-for-halloween-fans-and-crafters-everywhere"><strong>#MakeHalloween365 hashtag</strong></a>. </p>



<p>It is awesome to see the positive reaction that this Halloween crafting hashtag has already received. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f603.png" alt="😃" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Thank you very much to everyone who has supported and engaged with this hashtag right out of the gate.</p>



<p>I am excited to watch #MakeHalloween365 blossom and grow, like the loveliest of autumn pumpkins, into<strong> a thriving hashtag community for Halloween crafters and creative folks the world over</strong>.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-1-683x1024.png" alt="Beautiful Peach and Teal Halloween Window Oversized Black Tag" class="wp-image-2044" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-1-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-1-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-1-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-1-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-1.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>To that end, I’m delighted to share my own contributions to the tag and have decided that this year (and quite possibly beyond), I’m going to be posting at least one Halloween themed craft project per month here on the blog.</p>



<p>Some will have accompanying <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa7T8BUhh7wR44LB8UsdPVw">YouTube videos</a> </strong>as well. </p>



<p>Not only will this help to generate more content for which to use and share the #MakeHalloween365 hashtag, but it will go a long way to ensuring I have plenty of Halloween paper crafting projects ready go when fall returns. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f342.png" alt="🍂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>If you enjoy Halloween related crafting of any kind – be it paper crafting or otherwise – and would like to join me in sharing at least one Halloween craft project a month, I wholeheartedly welcome you to do so.</p>



<p>Of course, you do not have to do so in order to use #MakeHalloween365. Whether you create one, five, twenty, or a hundred Halloween craft projects throughout year, you are always welcome to use this hashtag. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f9e1.png" alt="🧡" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>One of my favourite elements of fall time is the gorgeous display of colours that the sky often takes on as the sun sets. </p>



<p>We live deep in the heart of a narrow valley, so we don’t get to see as many sunsets as in certain other parts of the world. Thankfully though, we still experience some, with those of October and November often being amongst the most breathtakingly beautiful.</p>



<p>Throughout the year, I often think fondly (and longingly) of those gorgeous displays of overhead autumnal colour.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="747" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Oversized-Black-Tag-1-747x1024.png" alt="Beautiful Peach and Teal Halloween Window Oversized Black Tag" class="wp-image-2051" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Oversized-Black-Tag-1-747x1024.png 747w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Oversized-Black-Tag-1-219x300.png 219w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Oversized-Black-Tag-1-768x1053.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Oversized-Black-Tag-1-400x549.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Oversized-Black-Tag-1.png 875w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px" /></figure></div>



<p>Recently, I was in the mood to celebrate them in paper crafting form. </p>



<p>And so set to work creating this oversized tag that features a sunset tucked behind a classic four-pane window that comes complete with a dangling spider to up the spookiness factor all the more. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f577.png" alt="🕷" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f306.png" alt="🌆" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f987.png" alt="🦇" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Following on what I said in my last project share post regarding the requests I received to give more in-depth project instructions, it struck me that it is logical to list the materials used in a given project and then proceed with the instructions themselves. Thus, I will be doing just that starting with this post.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to create a beautiful peach and teal Halloween sunset window oversized tag</strong></h3>



<p>Start with a black (or other colour) oversized tag 4 1/8” x 8.5” Dylusions Black Journaling Tag from Ranger. </p>



<p>If you do not have a tag this size on hand, you could use a ruler to draw the same dimensions onto a piece of sturdy cardstock or chipboard, cut your handmade tag out, and use that instead.</p>



<p>As well, the general layout of this tag lends itself excellently to a card, so that is another alternative to making a tag that still works great with this particular Halloween window design.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-5-683x1024.png" alt="Beautiful Peach and Teal Halloween Window Oversized Black Tag" class="wp-image-2048" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-5-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-5-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-5-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-5-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-5.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Next, trim a piece of teal and peach print My Mind’s Eye paper slightly smaller than the tag front and punch two pieces of grey cardstock the same size as the top and bottom edges of the MME paper using a Fiskar’s Double Bubble border punch.</p>



<p>Attach the grey punched cardstock to the top and bottom of the teal and peach paper and adhere this to your tag base.</p>



<p>Cut two pieces of peachy-orange embossed skull cardstock and distress them with some fine sandpaper or a nail file to give them more of an aged, worn look.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-4-683x1024.png" alt="Beautiful Peach and Teal Halloween Window Oversized Black Tag" class="wp-image-2047" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-4-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-4-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-4-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-4-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-4.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Apply a small amount of Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink and a very light amount of black ink in various spots across both pieces of embossed cardstock to give even more of a distressed and aged appearance.</p>



<p>Back both of these pieces of embossed cardstock onto black cardstock, leaving a very narrow visible border of black cardstock on all sides.</p>



<p>Arrange one panel towards the bottom of the teal and peach print MME paper and another (horizontally) about halfway down the total length of the tag.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-2-683x1024.png" alt="Beautiful Peach and Teal Halloween Window Oversized Black Tag" class="wp-image-2045" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-2-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-2-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-2-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-2-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-2.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Select three cream and black journaling pieces, topping two of them with pieces of orange and black bat print paper. Arrange as desired slightly above and below the middle of the tag.</p>



<p>Die cut two flourish shapes from black cardstock, arranging them just below the middle of the tag.</p>



<p>Cut a piece of black embossed bat pattern cardstock that’s a little over half the length of the MME teal and peach paper, trimming it just slightly smaller than the width of that panel. Attach with either adhesive or foam dots, if added dimension is desired.</p>



<p>To create the fall sunset panel, begin with a piece of white cardstock. Use Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads in the following colours: Pumice Stone, Rusty Hinge, Spiced Marmalade, and Stormy Sky to make an ink blended sky. Apply a light dusting of water to the ink once you’ve blended it.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-3-683x1024.png" alt="Beautiful Peach and Teal Halloween Window Oversized Black Tag" class="wp-image-2046" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-3-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-3-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-3-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-3-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-3.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Next, die cut the window (with spider) shape from grey cardstock. If you do not have a die like this (I picked mine up 2 – 3 years ago on <a href="https://witchcraftedlife.com/the-paper-crafters-complete-guide-to-buying-on-aliexpress/">Ali Express</a>), you could use any suitable window shaped die of your choosing and (optionally) add a die cut spider, spider charm, spider sticker, or even a small black spider toy to the window instead.</p>



<p>Apply black enamel drops to the spider and allow to dry before attaching the grey cardstock window piece to your inked sunset background.</p>



<p>If you do not have black enamel drops, you could use black embossing powder, black glitter, black Stickles, or colour the spider with a black marker or pencil crayon instead (or simply leave it as is for a uniformed grey look).</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-6-683x1024.png" alt="Beautiful Peach and Teal Halloween Window Oversized Black Tag" class="wp-image-2049" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-6-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-6-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-6-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-6-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-6.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Attach the window panel to the tag base. Thread the round black and heart shaped teal buttons with embroidery thread and arrange them as shown. Likewise place the peach ribbon flowers and blue paper flower as shown around the base and sides of the window panel.</p>



<p>Top the window panel with a piece of black lace to create the look of a valance.</p>



<p>Beneath the window panel, adhere a piece of black ruffle trim, a piece of teal green seam binding, and a piece of orange ribbon.</p>



<p>Tie a basic bow from a piece of the same black lace that you used for the window valance and attach it below the blue paper flower.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-7-683x1024.png" alt="Beautiful Peach and Teal Halloween Window Oversized Black Tag" class="wp-image-2050" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-7-683x1024.png 683w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-7-200x300.png 200w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-7-768x1152.png 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-7-400x600.png 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Halloween-Window-Black-Oversized-Tag-7.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure></div>



<p>Lastly, cut one piece each of teal green seam binding, orange ribbon, and blue (with green edges) ribbon, or other ribbons and trims of your choosing, and tie them through the hole at the top of the tag.</p>



<p>Your Halloween sunset window tag is now complete and ready to be enjoyed as part of your festive décor or gifted to whomever your heart desires. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f9e1.png" alt="🧡" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f5a4.png" alt="🖤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f9e1.png" alt="🧡" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>It’s never too soon to start counting down to – or crafting for – Halloween</strong></h3>



<p>From the get-go of this blog’s life, I have wanted to make fall/Halloween/Samhain relating crafting a big part of the projects that I share here.</p>



<p>Things got off to a decent start on that front in 2020, WCL’s first year of life.</p>



<p>However, I feel that thanks to #MakeHalloween365, I will be able to amp up my Halloween crafting all the more.

<p>As of today’s date, March 28th, <strong>there are 217 days to go until Halloween</strong>. </p>



<p>While I do not want that time to vanish too quickly (after all, each day behind us is, objectively, one less in front of us), as a perpetual Halloween lover, it just comes naturally to me to countdown until All Hallows’ Eve the whole year through.</p>



<p>Whether you do the same or not, I hope that the Halloween projects I share here and those posted by others who use the <strong>#MakeHalloween365 hashtag</strong> will prove inspirational as you go about making your own fall and Halloween themed creations of all kinds.</p>



<p>Here’s to a year of fa-boo-lous Halloween fun and crafting! I can hardly wait to see what you all make! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f383.png" alt="🎃" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f48c.png" alt="💌" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f5a4.png" alt="🖤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>This year, February 1st falls on a Saturday. For those of us who observe Imbolc on that date, the festive feeling of the year’s first sabbat feels extra heightened thanks to its weekend occurrence. </p>



<p><strong>Imbolc (also known as Imbolg), is a meaningful and magickal point in the year.</strong> Rooted though it is in the heart of winter for plenty of folks around the world, Imbolc&#8217;s return helps to align us all the more with the journey towards spring. This road is one that quite literally comes about thanks to the power of light – specifically, sunlight. </p>



<p>Many of us honour, embrace and celebrate this fact at Imbolc by ensuring that <strong>candles are an integral part of our sabbat rituals</strong>, working and festivities. </p>



<p>Their warmth and light representing that of the sun, while also reminding us of a time in our-not-so-distant collective past when candles often played a vital role in helping people get through the long, dark months of winter (just as they still do, even in this age of electric lighting, for many in today&#8217;s world). </p>



<p>This winter, <strong>I started to feel Imbolc’s rejuvenating energy quite early on</strong>. Shortly after it made its presence known to me again, I decided that I wanted to create a handmade tag that acknowledged and expressed the importance of light at Imbolc. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_1-1-768x1024.jpg" alt="Shabby chic oversized lit from within candle tag for Imbolc " class="wp-image-645" width="576" height="768" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_1-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_1-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_1-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_1-1-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_1-1-400x533.jpg 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_1-1.jpg 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" /></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Oversized “lit from within” candle tag</strong></h3>



<p>It’s been a hot minute since I last made a tag! </p>



<p>What better time, I thought to myself, than the year’s first Pagan sabbat to do just that again. </p>



<p>I began with a <strong>jumbo-sized premade tag base</strong>. You could easily create a tag yourself here instead, either with a ruler, pencil and scissors or with a metal die and a die cutting machine (or electronic die cutter). </p>



<p>This tag base measures 8.5 inches/21.5 cm tall and just over 4 inches/10.1 cm across/wide. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_4-768x1024.jpg" alt="Shabby chic oversized lit from within candle tag for Imbolc " class="wp-image-646" width="576" height="768" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_4-225x300.jpg 225w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_4-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_4-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_4-400x533.jpg 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_4.jpg 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" /></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Paper crafting colour options for Imbolc projects</strong></h3>



<p>Numerous colours are traditionally associated with Imbolc. These include, but are not limited to, red, black, white, cream, pink, silver, blue, yellow, and gold. </p>



<p>Personally, <strong>I tend to associate each of the sabbats with the colours that are most prevalent in nature at the time that these special days occur</strong>. </p>



<p>Here in the wild woods of Western Canada, that means plenty of icy whites, muted browns, pale creams, faded blues, and the deep verdant shades of evergreen trees.</p>



<p>While blue and green did not make an appearance on this project, the other colours just mentioned – coupled with gold to further symbolize the returning light of spring – were used on this generously sized tag. </p>



<p>Some other possible colour combinations that could have looked lovely here, and which work great for Imbolc craft projects in general, include the following:</p>



<p>-Grey, silver, and white (and/or light blue)</p>



<p>-Red, black, and white</p>



<p>-Green, brown, and gold or brass</p>



<p>-White, silver, and pale pink</p>



<p>-Navy blue, white, and gold or silver</p>



<p>-Icy blue, white, and silver or platinum</p>



<p>-Brown, green, and cream</p>



<p>-Gold, red and white (or brown)</p>



<p>-Silver, red and pink</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to make the “lit from within” candle element of this Imbolc
tag</strong></h3>



<p>Once I’d settled on my colour palette and selected the papers and cardstock that I’d be using for it, I went to work creating <strong>the star element of this tag: the glowing candle in the middle</strong>. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_2-768x1024.jpg" alt="Shabby chic oversized lit from within candle tag for Imbolc " class="wp-image-647" width="576" height="768" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_2-225x300.jpg 225w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_2-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_2-400x533.jpg 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_2.jpg 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" /></figure></div>



<p>To do this, I first die cut a candle from cream colour cardstock. I then used Copic Ciao markers to outline the candle and the area that looks like dripping wax, as well as to colour in the flame. </p>



<p>Copics do tend to feather (bleed) a bit on ordinary cardstock, the one that I used here included. I wasn’t concerned in this instance, though, as I’d already planned to nestled the die cut candle underneath of some vellum.</p>



<p>While it is somewhat harder to see in these photos verses in real life, I placed the candle and yellow circle of paper on light grey and white snowflake print paper. </p>



<p>You can see this paper more clearly at the very top of the tag, as I used the same paper on that portion of this project as well.  </p>



<p><strong>I wanted the candle to look as though it was illuminating out into the world from a window, as snow fell peacefully outside</strong>. This is a scene that is very common to me all through the winter and which often occurs at our house on Imbolc itself. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_3-768x1024.jpg" alt="Shabby chic oversized lit from within candle tag for Imbolc " class="wp-image-648" width="576" height="768" srcset="https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_3-225x300.jpg 225w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_3-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_3-400x533.jpg 400w, https://witchcraftedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Shabby-chic-glowing-candle-Imbolc-tag_3.jpg 1440w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px" /></figure></div>



<p>If you do not have a candle-shaped die or access to a digitally equipped die cutting machine, some alternative options include the following:</p>



<p>-Stamp, colour and fussy cut out a candle-shaped piece. </p>



<p>-Pre-made candle die cut, sticker, or chipboard piece.</p>



<p>-Draw a candle yourself and then fussy cut it out.</p>



<p>-Cut out the image of a glowing candle from a photograph, illustration, magazine page, or similar. </p>



<p>-Print and cut out a digi stamp of a candle.</p>



<p>-Use clip art or dingbat font with a candle shape from your word pressing program or an online source. Print, colour (if it is not already coloured) and fussy cut the shape.</p>



<p></p>



<p></p>



<p></p>



<p></p>



<p></p>



<p></p>



<p>To help further convey the sense of a glowing candle, I die cut a small circle from golden yellow coloured paper and placed it behind the flame area. </p>



<p>Alternatively, you could easily use a circle punch, circle stencil, or freehand a circle shape instead. </p>



<p>Once my candle was assembled, I backed it against the snowflake
print paper. I then dug through my stash for the creamiest coloured vellum that
I had. </p>



<p>I specifically <strong>wanted the vellum to look aged and for it to give the candle a somewhat opaque appearance</strong>, again, as if one was viewing it through a snowy, frosty, or icy window.</p>



<p>I combined two different brown papers (one plain, one text print), positioning them at a horizontal angle both for visual interest and to represent the divide between the darker and lighter halves of the year. </p>



<p>I then die cut a lovely elongated/primitive style heart shape from
the two brown papers. I backed this area with the cream vellum and placed my “glowing
candle” beneath it, with the grey and white snowflake print paper behind the
candle itself. </p>



<p>Next, I cut out a smaller frame in the same die cut heart shape and positioned in the aperture area. I specifically went with <strong>metallic gold cardstock in this spot as I wanted to further convey the sense of warmth and light that accompanies lit candles</strong>. </p>



<p></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Embellishing an Imbolc tag</strong></h3>



<p>To further embellish this Imbolc tag, I selected some dimensional flowers, a curly branch/vine piece, cream coloured fabric leaves, and cute little painted white wooden snowflakes (one even has a tiny heart cutout in the center, which I chose because it complimented the die cut heart aperture here).</p>



<p>I also used a small sticker with the hashtag <strong>#blessed</strong> on it, as I feel Imbolc – like all of the sabbats – is a time of immense blessings and positive energy in our lives. </p>



<p>I freehand cut a notched-end piece of brown plaid paper and die cute a larger notched end piece from both gold metallic and brown cardstocks. I layered these two pieces together and topped them with some white Thickers letter stickers, which I used to spell out the word Imbolc.</p>



<p><strong>Let’s face it, there aren’t exactly a lot of premade Pagan sabbat related paper crafting products out there</strong>. In most cases, you’ll need to create your own titles and sentiments for sabbat themed projects. </p>



<p>To top things off, I selected two shades (beigey-grey and light gold) of seam binding and a cute white and brown polka dot print ribbon, which I looped through the hole at the top of the tag. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tag making tips and ideas from this project</strong></h3>



<p>-If you don’t have cream or ivory coloured vellum to hand, use white instead or apply a light layer of pale ivory or very pale grey, taupe or brown ink to the underside of your vellum to tint it (ensure the ink is dry before proceeding to layer the candle beneath it).</p>



<p>&#8211;<strong>Combine two or more papers diagonally, vertically, or horizontally to break up larger areas, add visual interest, and potentially use up some of your paper scraps in the process</strong>.</p>



<p>-Instead of wooden snowflakes, you could easily use snowflake-shaped die cut pieces, stickers, chipboard, resin pieces, flatback charms, or even cute little hand-cut snowflakes instead.</p>



<p>-And by the same token, if you didn’t want to use snowflakes, how about hearts, leaves, stars, or crescent moon shapes, sequins, enamel drops, rhinestones, metal charms, or other dimensional embellishments instead?</p>

<p>&#8211;<strong>Any shape of opening (aperture) that allows the candle portion of the tag to show could be used here</strong>. Circes, ovals, diamonds, triangles, squares, rectangles, stars, and snowflakes are just some of the possible options.</p>



<p>-While vellum works like a charm in this setting, alternatively, glassine, wax paper, cellophane, densely woven tulle or lace, sheer fabrics, acetate, and even tracing paper could be used instead. </p>



<p>-No gold metallic paper or cardstock? Use silver, platinum or rose gold metallic cardstock instead. Or how about white, silver, or gold glitter cardstock?</p>



<p>Or you could change the colour of your cardstock (starting with a white cardstock base) with gold embossing powder, gold glitter, gold paint, metallic gold coloured pencil crayon, gold leafing, gold Nuvo <a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01M7TMWWE?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=witchcraftedlife-20">Glimmer Paste</a>, or gold gilding wax instead. </p>



<p>&#8211;<strong>You could easily turn this same design into a card front instead</strong>, either with or without the actual tag component itself. </p>



<p>Likewise, you could use this elegant “lit from within” candle technique on scrapbook pages, mini albums (how gorgeous would it be on the cover of an album?), and many other types of paper crafting projects as well. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Create “lit from within” candles for other occasions</strong></h3>



<p>This candle works wonderfully for Imbolc – just as it would for <strong>other Pagan sabbats, particularly Samhain and Yule</strong>. </p>



<p>It would also be fantastic for a multitude of different occasions as well. These include: </p>



<p>-Birthdays</p>



<p>-Weddings</p>



<p>-Anniversaries</p>



<p>-Thank you wishes </p>



<p>-Get well wishes</p>



<p>-Sympathy wishes (including the loss of a pet)</p>



<p>-Support and encouragement wishes</p>



<p>-Supporting or thanking members of the military or police for
their service </p>



<p>-Graduation</p>



<p>-Candlemas (February 2<sup>nd</sup>)</p>



<p>-Valentine’s Day (what’s more romantic than candlelight?)</p>



<p>-Mother’s Day</p>



<p>-The 4<sup>th</sup> of July</p>



<p>-Halloween</p>



<p>-Remembrance Day</p>



<p>&#8211; Hanukkah</p>



<p>-Christmas</p>



<p>-Kwanza </p>



<p>-New Year’s Eve</p>



<p>-Eid</p>



<p>-Diwali</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other ways to use candles in your Imbolc papercraft projects</strong></h3>



<p>The snowy sky is the limit when it comes to ways of using candles in your Imbolc projects. </p>



<p>Some other ideas would be to use papers featuring candle prints (images of the sun would be a great fit as well), stamp and colour candles on your project, adhere actual mini candles to your projects (such as birthday candles or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Assorted-Dripless-Congregation-Candlelight-Decorations/dp/B07V1X1J4V/">chiam candles</a>), use melted wax or melted wax crayons, create 3D candle-shaped projects, or use a candle themed stencil or embossing folder on your makes. </p>



<p>In general, <strong>themes of light, warmth, hope, prosperity, cleansing, renewal, fertility, love, comfort, strength, and renewal are natural fits for Imbolc</strong>. </p>



<p>Candles can help convey these messages and are a beautiful, classic symbol both of this sabbat and of wintertime itself (which, let’s face it, isn&#8217;t budging for many of us until at least March or April).</p>



<p><strong>Bright blessings of Imbolc from my heart to yours! </strong></p>
