Why is it that the weekends always go by SO much faster than the work week? I just was settling in to get some stamping done this afternoon and here it is already 9:30! How does that happen??
Today was all about the tags...gift tags that is. I am running a gift packaging class on the first Saturday in December and I decided it was about time I got going on planning the projects for it! Part of the class will be dedicated to creating beautiful gift tags and so today I came up with a vintage and a contemporary collection all packaged in a reusable tin. Class participants will be able to choose which style they would like to make. Today I am posting the contemporary version...tomorrow will be the vintage one!

This sturdy tin is covered in Jolly Holiday DSP. When the tags are gone the tin makes a lovely gift-box. |

Even the sides of the tin are covered! The edges of the lid are also covered in 1/8" taffeta ribbon...a perfect fit! |

Tag #6 - using the Top Note Die |
My original plan had been to keep these tags fairly simple, but I've decided I just CAN'T do simple! I start with something simple and just keep adding and playing and before I know it, I've spent an hour on a "simple" gift tag! Ah well...I like 'em and I hope my customers will too! If you are reading this thinking "I'd like to make these tags and have a lovely tin to hold them all", drop me a line and sign up for my class! It is running on Saturday, December 4th at 9:30 am. I'd love to have you join us!
Now for the worst part of the weekend...heading to bed and setting the alarm for 6:00 am! Have a good night everyone...talk to you tomorrow when I show you my vintage version of the Tin 'o' Tags!
