Gift Tags Just for You

I had to make one more project with this set...it was so much fun and easy too...the butterflies are wonderful for Birthday or Get Well Cards...I can easily see myself going back to this set over and over to make some Fabulous cards...they will go nicely with the cards I made yesterday.

 

 

 

 

The black card stock I used for the large butterfly was from card stock that came in my junk mail...it is a nice and heavy piece of card stock...with touches of silver writing on it...but once cut into the butterfly you just can't tell what the silver is other than a pattern...I couldn't throw it out...it was too...too pretty...and the quality was Fabulous.

 

 

The Glassine Envelopes can be used to put a gift card...or some Yummy Ghirardelli Chocolates...or cash...who wouldn't love any of these...I Do...I Do...LOL.

 

 

Here is the easy recipe:

 

Stamp Set: Butterfly Basics...and teeny tiny wishes.

*****

Card Stock: whisper white...pink flamingo and Bali breeze DSP...manila...and Glassine bags.

*****

Ink: hello honey and gumball green.

*****

Punches: butterfly thinlets die...bitty butterfly...and word window.

*****

Additional supplies: snail...sticky strip...butterfly washi tape...acrylic block...spring dews mini dew drops...crystal effects...big shot...and fiskar cutter.

 

 

 

The mini dew drops in the Pink and Blue were a Fabulous touch...don't you think...I really love them.

 

 

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by this morning...I have to go back to bed and put my knee back on ice...not sure how long I can do it for...because it's freezin' here this morning...stay safe everyone...and have a Fabulous Day.

To...From Christmas Ornament Gift Tag

Ohhhhhhhh! my aching back...Back Pain is Definitely a Witch!

I made another project this morning...and this one is a quick and easy gift tag that didn't leave me sitting for a long time...I'm trying to use up as much scraps as I can that are left over from other projects.

 I was able to fit three of the ornaments on this size tag...it's a nice jumbo tag...for a jumbo gift...or maybe not too jumbo...it would still work.

My supplies for this project was what I already had on hand in my scrap box or left over projects...DSP scraps left overs from another project...I used the framelits holiday ornament die...1/4" hand held circle punch...real red grosgrain ribbon...snail...my bone folder and crystal effects...the ink for the sentiments was midnight muse.

 I'm resting up for the remainder of the morning...thanks so much for droppin' by today...I hope the weather isn't too bad wherever you may be...have a great day...and a stampin' good time.
