craftykarendesigns: Perfectly Plaid Gift Tags in Box

Hi Everyone,

Today I want to show you how to make some gift tags and I've made a little box to put them in so that you can give them away as gifts or you can sell them on your craft stalls. I hope you like them and will give them a try.

Materials

1 piece of cherry cobbler card stock 6" x 4", scored at 1/2" all the way around

1 piece of cherry cobbler card stock 6 1/16" x 4 1/16", scored at 1/2" all the way around

6 x strips of thick whisper white 2" x 4"
Scrap of whisper white for the sentiment on the box

1 piece of Wrapped in Plaid dsp 2 7/8" x 4 7/8"

Scrap of gold foil to punch out the tree shape

Ribbon or bakers twine for the tags

Perfectly Plaid stamp set

Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set

Clear block

Cherry Cobbler ink

Scoreboard

Trimmer

Tag topper punch

Pine Tree punch

Detailed Trio punch

Multipurpose adhesive

Instructions

Fold and burnish the score lines on the large pieces of card stock and then cut tabs at each of the four corners to make a box. Remember, the lid is 1/16" bigger,, so when folded and glued, should easily fit over the base to close the box.

Decorate the lid with the piece of dsp and then punch out a gold foil tree and add to the centre of the box.

Take the 2" strips of whisper white and punch one end with the tag topper punch and round the corners of the other end with the detailed trio punch. If required, stamp the To/From image on one side of the tag using the cherry cobbler ink.

Stamp the tree image and the sentiment to the front of the tag and repeat on all 6 tags. Stamp a sentiment to add to the front of the box and adhere in place.

Thread a piece of ribbon or bakers twine through the hole at the top of the tag and place the tags inside the box.
