Here's to Cheers Tag Part Two

I used the Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper (DSP) for my tag too. However, I used the Crumb Cake paper with the Basic Black stars.

 

My color scheme was Crumb Cake, Basic Black, and Whisper White.

I positioned the Basic Black filigree die horizontally, but you could definitely place it vertically. The die fits both ways! That way you can decide if you want to cover the tag holes or not.

Instead of ribbon, I added Kraft Rope Trim to the neck of the bottle only. On each end of the trim is a Basic Black star. The star die is from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. I thought this gave the tag an elegant touch.

After looking at the finished tag, I decided to try putting the rope trim through and underneath the tag. I like both looks. However, putting the rope trim underneath the Cheer stamped image makes the stamped image and filigree die stand out even more.

Which look do you like best? Have you tried the Here's to Cheer Bundle yet? I would love to see what you make!

Here's to Cheer Tags Part One

Here is a great tag my mom made using the Here's to Cheers Bundle. She used Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the white and red plaid pattern from the Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper stack.

The gusseted cellophane bags are the perfect size for a wine bottle or even a loaf of homemade bread.

Here is a close up! How cute is this tag!? The plaid patterned paper is the perfect background to the Cherry Cobbler filigree die. I love how the red and white ribbons look like a scarf or a shawl collar for the bottle.

The Here's to Cheers stamp set and framelit bundle work so well together. Everything coordinates and layers beautifully. My mom made this tag in under ten minutes!

Stayed tuned for my Here's to Cheers tag on Wednesday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Reunion Christmas Swap

My husband's family is having a reunion this month. Because we are all not able to get together again this year, we are celebrating Christmas early with a Yankee Swap.

Everyone brings a wrapped present to swap. We draw numbers to see who picks a present first, second, third, and so on. After each person picks a present, they can swap or steal from the person who went before them. For example, if you have number 3, you can steal from number 1 or number 2 or keep your present. It is great fun! Some years the swapping gets pretty involved! You never know whose present you'll end up with!

For our presents, I made these gift bags with the new Christmas DSP and the Gift Bag Punch Board. These gift bags are the medium size and 8" long. The bags are tied with Crumb Cake satin ribbon. This ribbon just retired, however, you can substitute Very Vanilla satin ribbon.

I used the Layering Squares Framelits and Linen Thread to create the gift tags. On the left tag, I created a little winter scene with the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and the Peaceful Pines stamp set. I stamped Soft Sky snowflakes. I used Clear Wink of Stella to add sparkle to the snow bank.

On the right tag, I used the pine tree and present images from Peaceful Pines stamp set. On the reverse of the tag is the sentiment from the Peaceful Pines stamp set.

I have been working on my gift packaging skills this year. How did I do?
