Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature pretty packages and beautiful tags to inspire your holiday gift-giving. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Project
I chose for today’s project to share a simple gift that is easy and fun to make. It is a little box which holds gift tags. This fell in line perfectly with the title of the Blog Hop. My box holds 10 tags, however that may very depending on your embellishments.
And here is the side view as well as the tags:
Paper and Ribbon
All of the DSP used is from the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper. You can see from the tags photo that I used almost all of the different patterns of this gorgeous paper. The base of the box is Thick Basic White cardstock. The tags are all regular Basic White cardstock with the DSP cut and glued to the cardstock prior to punching with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. This gives them quite a bit more strength.
I used the Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon for the handle and decorative bow. The ribbon is cut to 7″ and placed from outside to inside of the tag hole. I used two glue dots , one above the other, to adhere the ribbon to the inside of the box. This is done on both the front and the back. The bow I tied for the front is added to the front of the box with a couple of glue dots as well.
The tag ribbon is the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I added the ribbon with a bookmarker type tie. This way the recipient can easily remove it and add to a bag, or leave as is and add to a package.
Stamps, Dies, Punches, Etc.
The sentiments you see on all of the tags, as well as the front of the box, are all from the Peaceful Deer stamp set. They were the perfect size to fit where needed. Some of them are angled a bit, but that adds to the look. Also I added a To / From to the back of each tag. Since the back side of the tag is Basic White, It was a no brainer. That stamp came from the Bright Baubles stamp set.
In addition to the Delightful Tag Topper Punch, I also used the Double Oval Punch. The ovals were used together on the front of the box to add some depth for the sweet sentiment. On the tags the smaller one was used and adhered flat to the tag as to not create bulk.
There was one die used on the tags. It is from the Stitched Snowflakes Dies and matched perfectly the snowflakes on the pink piece of the DSP. And of course there has to be bling! I used both the Basic Rhinestone Jewels and the Holiday Rhinestones on the tags and the box sentiment.
