Creating A Gift Tag With Texture

October 22, 2020 Leave a Comment

Yesterday afternoon I was in a gift tag kind of mood. I often sit and make a batch of gift tags as a way to develop ideas. I might have a stamp set that lends itself to tag sentiments, or small scraps of card or paper to use up. Or sometimes it’s a punch, die or embossing folder that inspires me. This tag was a combination of all three, and I love how it turned out.

All occasion gift tag with "a little something for you" sentiment, created using the Wrapped In Christmas Stamp Set, Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder and Forever Flourishing Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

A LITTLE SOMETHING

This tag started with my favourite stamp set, Wrapped In Christmas. The “a little something for you” sentiment is perfect for all kinds of occasions.

First I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White Card using VersaMark Ink. Then I sprinkled the sticky ink with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and tapped off the excess. After removing some stray specks I finished by melting the rest of the powder with my Heat Tools set on 2 (high).

To cut out the sentiment I used the Label Me Fancy Punch, and then set it aside.

I found the leafy branch in the Forever Flourishing Dies and thought it complemented the curve of the sentiment. So I die-cut that from a scrap of Gold Foil Sheet. Then I tucked one of the leaves behind the sentiment and fixed the two pieces together with a little Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow).

TAG TEXTURE

It was only at this point that I began to think about the shape of the tag base. In fact I pulled out 5 different punches, but in the end a scrap of Merry Merlot Card that made the decision for me. As soon as I placed my assembled sentiment onto the 2-1/2″ x 3″ piece I knew it was perfect. So I went back to the Label Me Fancy Punch and used it to punch a small hole at the top of the card.

While I loved the size, shape and colour of the tag base, I did want to add some texture. To do this I used the dashed embossing folder from the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folders pack.

With that done I glued a 2″ x 2-1/4″ scrap of Whisper White Card onto the back of the textured piece. This would give me somewhere to write the “to” and “from”. Then I added the assembled sentiment to the front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally I attached some Linen Thread through the hole at the top and my textured all-occasion tag was complete.

PRODUCT LIST

BUNDLE BONUS – I bought the Forever Flourishing Dies in a bundle with the Forever Fern Stamp Set (not used today). Using the single ‘bundle’ item number meant I saved 10% off the cost of buying the two items separately. I’ve included a link to the bundle in case you want to look at this option.
