This set of Tags in a matching Tin is one of the projects that we made during my Holiday Treats & Tags class last week. If you are wrapping your gifts and need tags you can make them quickly using just scraps from you Designer Series paper – some stamps and punches.
I cut pieces of 3″x3″ card stock squares – for these I used Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Crumb Cake. Then I cut pieces of the Holly Holly Designer Series paper – I used 2-3/4″ squares for mine, but you can use strips or other size pieces of scraps. I used the Tags Til Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog and various punches to add the designs to the front of each tag. I ended up with 16 tags to put inside this tin.
The tin is just a flat tin that was from some old Stampin’ Up! embellishments that they sold a few years ago. For awhile they had them for sale on the Clearance Rack – you can find that in my online store on my website – check regularly since they are always adding new things and you never know what little treasure you might find. To decorate the tin I just covered the front with a piece of the same Designer Series paper that I used on the tags. I put a piece of the Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding underneath so that I could tie it in a bow around the top. I added a little tag for a decoration.
All the tags fit inside the tin if you wanted to store them or give them to someone. Once you use the tags you can then use the tin for a gift – like a gift card or money for someone. There are only a few more days until Christmas – I hope you are ready. I’m finishing my wrapping today and I have a few more cards to mail out – I ran out of stamps. And I’m going to try to do some baking today – well maybe you can’t really call it baking – this is what we are going to try to make today – peppermint bark, oreo balls, snowflake sugar cookies (ok, those are really baking), and my almond chicken cheese-ball – which I need to share the recipe for because several people wanted it when I made it at the Gift Making class – I’ll post that tomorrow.
