HERE IS MY FRUGAL GIFT!
I'm glad you're here! I was thinking long and hard about what I wanted to make for you today and with so many Spellbinders die templates at my disposal, the possibilities were endless! I finally settled on a set of homemade gift tags, which if you omit the tools and inks, this gift can me made for under $10.00. You can stamp To: and From: on the back, which is clean and available for a personal message, or you can write the person's name on the front, where there is white space.
This is also the type of project you can do in pieces, and in front of the TV. Make all your die cuts, ink flowers, assembles flowers, assemble tags, etc...
Personally, I love PRACTICAL gifts, things that I can use, and these are totally gift worthy and will dress up any gift beautifully. They can take a bit of time to make, but will get you that response you're looking for. No one will associate this gift frugal, because they can see the heart that goes into handmade tags.
I do hope you enjoy the hop today! Merry EARLY Christmas.
Vintage Christmas Tags
1. Die cut and emboss labels (Spellbinders S4-346 Labels Twenty-Two) from cream cardstock. Leave paper in the die template and use as a stencil and apply Clearsnap ink (Shabby Pink) to the edges using a Clearsnap Stylus with blending foam.
2. Die cut and emboss poinsettias pieces from patterned paper using Spellbinders S5-055 Layered Poinsettia. Leave papers in the die templates and use as a stencil and apply Clearsnap ink (Shabby Pink to Poinsettia and Aqua to Leaf) to the embossed portions on the die cut image (apply Clearsnap ink using a Clearsnap Stylus with blending foam).
3. Die cut and emboss Spellbinders S5-062 Lacey Doily Accents to create a lacey accent to the label.
4. Cut out Christmas images from patterned paper and distress edges with scissors.
5. Glue together poinsettia pieces with Glue Arts Micro Adhesive Squares, adhere gem for the center (Want2Scrap). Bend poinsettia petals to make the flower more dimensional.
6. Assemble tags by adhering items in this order: lacey accent strip, ribbon tied in a bow, poinsettia (with Glue Arts U-Cut-It 3D Foam), leaf, and 2 Christmas images (some with 3D Foam). Punch hole, adhere string.
7. Add Stickles or glitter glue to the top corners of the Christmas images, let dry.
Beautiful Gift Box
1. Using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur die cut machine, cut and emboss 2 grand labels (Spellbinders LF-347 Grand Labels Twenty-Three) from cream cardstock. Leave paper in the die template and use as a stencil and apply Clearsnap ink to the edges using a Clearsnap Stylus with blending foam.
2. Die cut a hole at the top of both labels using Spellbinders S4-190 Labels Four.
3. Cut 2 strips of cardstock (3.5 x 12) to make the sides and bottom. Using a Scor-Pal, score lengthwise at 7 inches. Turn to the width, and score at 1/4 inch in from each side. Because you want the top of the box to fold in, you need to make one more score at the top of the sides. At 1.5 inches (which is the middle), score each side 1/2 way down.
4. Make triangle cuts at the corners. This will make the corners fold in easily.
5. The bottom will be 5 inches total, so glue the bottom pieces together, ensuring a total length of 5 inches (you can use your Scor-Pal for measuring).
6. Using your Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro+ or similar, adhere adhesive strips to the folds, glue box together, one side at a time.
7. Fill with your homemade tags and use one of your tags to decorate the front. Glue sides together once filled with Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares.
8. Stamp Merry Christmas (Unity Stamp Co) onto white paper, ink around edges with Clearsnap ink, and adhere to box with 3D Foam.
