This tag is in honor of a friend who’s started to collect Copics – but not for shading. It’s a super easy way to add color and make it look like you “meant” to go simple!
Video
Today’s tag only needs ONE Copic marker. Yes, ONE! Instead of making it a heavily-colored tag, try just highlighting one portion of each image. When the stamp set is as adorable as Dairy Christmas , it’s easy to let the humor take the stage! Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
You can use these just as tags – or as a delivery system for a gift card!

I LOVE the eggs stamps. Just precious.
I always get excited when I see cow stamps! We need more cows in the stamping world lol! Love this stamp set and I love your cards. Thank you for sharing!
Great idea to make a matchbook tag. I like how you use a brad for the closer and that you used just one color. TFS
Oh no you are killing my pocketbook LOL. These stamps are perfect for our farm. What fun and great ideas. I love it.
I love this stamp set, love how you only used ONE color and loved how you made it into matchbooks, awesome !!! GREAT video also, thanks.
Really like the idea of the matchbook cover!
I’m still ‘coloring’ challenged, so this tutorial was perfect!!!! Really, really cool!
Love the matchbook tags….. great idea for Christmas…
So much cuteness. Thanks for sharing the closure as I’ve never seen it done that way.
OMG!!!! This is the one that I have been waiting for!!! I just love the chickens and the eggs are so stinkin’ cute too!!!
Love the simplicity of colouring with just one colour….that’s about my style! Thanks for sharing the brad closure very ingenious. Have a super day. Cheers Donna Z 🙂
Such a cool card,I love the idea of just colouring using one Copic-I don’t have them,but have a few ‘cheapie’ versions of alcohol markers,so I will give this a go! Many thanks Sandy,love your videos!
OMGOSH…. BEING AN ANIMAL LOVER…these tags are precious…
As always you are fabulous!
Super adorable tags today!
Clever idea to punch a half circle to go around the brad! Cute cards!
Hey Sandy, I do love everything about these tags. I never buy/make tags for Christmas gifts. I barely get them wrapped and under the tree BUT these are SO CUTE I think i am gonna have to get this stamp set and try my hand at making these tags!! BTW…you could use a light pink to color the wattles under their chins. I raise chickens and when the hens are laying well the wattles are more pink because their bodies put all their energy into making eggs…thought you might like to know.
Love it! that’s sooo genius with the brad closure! Not to mention the stamp set…hilarious!
Cute, I have never seen tags made like this, Really love the cows.
I have made these matchbook tags before but I like how you fastened them. I wondered about the Copics showing through on the other side. Fun and adorable.
Adorable tags! i especially like the idea of punching out around the brad. Thanks so much!
OH NY GOSH!! What adorable stamps and sentiments. Love the play on words. Great use of the stamps…great coloring. TFS!!

Enjoyed the non traditional shape of the tag. Will have to try it out as a gift card holder.
Sandy, what a great and simple little tag. I always make my own package tags and I will certainly be using your idea this year! Thank you for sharing!
Like the idea of one marker coloring. I have some Copics but always struggle with shading and blending. Cute.
Adorable. I am always nervous when I color with red copics. You inspire me to try to use them more. Thank you!
Wow such simple coloring and you pulled it off. Sometimes I think I could do that and why didn’t I think of it. I really need Sandy to inspire me.
OMG, thank you for the first guffaw of the day! Almost spewed my coffee. Obviously I loves me a good pun – will have to get this set from AI – what a hoot. The tags, by the way, are very smart looking, and just right for all that goofiness! Thank you again for a very fun way to get my day going!!!
Very cute. Love the brad idea gives it a nice finish.
