Gift Bag Star Tag

I had a Handmade Holiday Stamp Camp on Friday.  One of the items we made was a star tag tied to a gift bag.



The tag was made using the star framelits dies.  Then I made a flower by punching 3 flowers using the Blossom punch from the Under the Tree Specialty DSP.  For the middle of the flower I used the 1-1/4" circle scalloped punch and kraft DSP.  After curling the edges of the flowers I used an Antique brad to put the flower together.

I added some gold sequin ribbon to the star with a few glue dots and then added the flower on top of the sequin ribbon also using glue dots.  The greeting was stamped using words from the Endless Wishes stamp set and Cherry Cobbler classic stampin' pad onto kraft paper.  

The star was tied to a kraft gift bag using cherry cobbler bakers twine.  

I love tags that add that "wow" factor with not so much effort ;0).

Joy for the Muslin Gift Bag

A quick post today to share a gift bag I made for my daughter's teachers.  She is in middle school now and so there are 8 teachers to thank!

I decided on a gift card wrapped in a muslin bag from Stampin ' Up!.

From the Many Merry Stars stamp set I stamped a star and snowflake image on the bag with Lost Lagoon stamp pad.  For the tag I used the Snowflake Card Thinlits dies to decorate a Soft Sky tag punched with Note Tag Punch and tied to the muslin bag with Lost Lagoon 3/8" Silky Taffeta ribbon.

A Nugget full of Chocolate

I purchased these metal tins a few years ago and decided I needed to try to use them up.  These tins fit 12 Hersey Nuggets pieces perfectly!  Wrap each piece of chocolate with a 1" x 3" piece of designer series paper, wrap with coordinating ribbon and add a tag - and you have a great gift!  You can even add a gift card to the tin as an added special gift!


The chocolate in this tin is wrapped with All is Calm Designer Series Paper.  The tag is also made from paper from this set and die cut using the Party Pennants Bigz L die and the Big Shot.  I decorated the tag with coordinating All is Calm washi tape.  A soft sky tree punched with the tree punch and a silver glitter star top off the tag; both were added to the tag using dimensionals.  The greeting is from the Endless Wishes photopolymer stamp set stamped with Lost Lagoon ink. 

 I tied the tin up with Lost Lagoon ribbon and used Pear Pizzazz 1/4" cotton ribbon to tie the tag to the ribbon around the tin.

Making Spirits Bright Wine Bottle Tag

I love making wine bottle tags!  They look so cute on the bottle and everyone I give them to adores them.  What's nice is that you can get 4 tags out of 1 piece of 8-1/2" by 11" piece of cardstock (each at 8-1/2" by 2-3/4").  Just score at 2-3/4" and punch a whole in the 2-3/4" square.  Then decorate as you see fit! Another great way to use up the scraps or extra elements you create and end up not using on another project.


For this tag I used a piece of paper from the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Pack and a bow using the Bow Bigz L die for the Big Shot.

The stamp on the tag is form the Making Spirits Bright stamp set from the 2014 Holiday Catalog.  I colored in the images using markers and the silver stampin' dazzle marker and other colors that coordinate with the Trim the Tree DSP.

Gift card full of stars!

I have another project from the Crafty Chicks Handmade Holiday event to share with you today. This project is a gift card holder with a belly band that slips off and on so that the gift card holder doesn't need to be glued shut.  All of the ladies loved the word "belly band" ;0).

Stampin' Up! has a gift card framelit for the Big Shot in the 2014 Holiday Catalog which makes creating gift card holders so simple!  When the ladies first came to the staion to make the gift card holder, they were worried about how they would cut out the holder form the 6" x 7" piece of cardstock I gave them for the project.  Then they realized it was a die cut, they were very impressed!  


The belly band was created by wrapping a 1" by 12" piece of Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Then I die cut stars using the Stars Framelits die from other designs in the Under the Tree DSP pack.  The large star was stamped using Cherry Cobbler stamp pad and the Many Merry Stars photopolymer stamp set from the 2014 Holiday Supplement.  

The greeting was stamped using the metallic gold encore pad and the Endless Wishes photopolymer stamp set.




I have another stamp camp on Friday where we will be making more holiday giftables and decorations.  Can't wait to show you what we will be creating!
