This is my attempt at Sharon's (No Time to Stamp?) Stamp Simply Challenge #06. The first part of the challenge was to make a gift tag that could be mass-assembled in parts. My little circle sentiment by Inkadinkado says "Merry Merry Merry." It was stamped in ColorBox Lipstick Red Chalk ink on white cardstock, punched out with a 1 1/4" punch and then matted on a a 1 3/8" black cardstock circle.
I made the tag by trimming a rectangle from black cardstock and a 1/4" smaller rectangle from the DP. I measured 1" in from each corner and trimmed to create the tag. My slot punch was punched several times at the top of the tag to make the opening wide enough for my sparkly snowman ribbon.
The next part of the challenge was to make a coordinating gift bag. This gift bag is approximately 8 1/2" x 5 1/4". I get them when I buy beauty products from my hair salon. I cut some of the same Rhonna Farrer Autumn Leaves snowflake DP slightly larger than the bag, attached it and then trimmed to fit. The "Let it Snow" velvet ribbon placement was determined by a small tear in the DP that happened when I was trimming.
This is my first ever attempt at decorating a gift bag. Now I'll make sure to save all of those little bags I get at various stores to decorate.
Just love your bag and tag -- what a fabulous way to recycle -- looks like a designer bag, not a recycled bag!!! Love the red -- so pretty -- and you have some fabulous ribbons!!! Great receovery from a little tear, too -- you have no idea how many of my designs result from covering up mistakes -- LOL!!! So glad you played!!!
