I just got this Sizzix bigzLg die ( the su one) and so, had to play with it... its pretty big, too big for an shipping tag size 8... so this tag behind this die cut, I cut by hand its 4 1/2" x 7" cardstock.
I really did sew on the toe,heel and trim pieces so, was trying to make the tag large enough to hide the stitching since this one is one sided stocking, except the top has a second piece of cardstock (same color as the toes) that is behind that printed paper so that if someone was to tuck an gift card into the top opening of the stocking it had more strength. the ribbon hanging loop is sewn to the pp also for strength.
an Making Memories felt flower, the sentiments from the Christmas Punch su set, on an Memory box tag diecut. all the edges have been inked with creamy brown fluid chalk inks. vintage button, vintage hemming lace, some hemp string. 
Now these were done with scraps on the table and they are double sided... 
except the red/green one, it was a sample pieces that came to me via wish rak before I ordered the die to see how large it was, ( thanks Pauline!) it was run through an SU cuttlebug folder. the sentiments on these i *think* are su, but are really from the muffin tin so not sure anymore. the buttons are both vintage and craft store finds. the copper one with printed paper was sewn in the machine and the other two were just a million glue dots and lots of red liner tape. so it will be interesting to see if they hold up by next Christmas.
A look at the backsides.
