Hi, it is Christine here today sharing with you a bright Spring-like gift tag. The weather here in England has been terrible so it is definitely time to be looking ahead and thinking about sunny bright Spring days.
I have used a regular manila tag and cut a piece of Basic Grey RSVP paper slightly smaller. I have attached Creative Photo Corners – Ivory to each corner, these add a nice framing touch to the patterned paper.
To the reverse of the patterned paper I applied two strips of Crafty Foam Tape White and attached this to the main tag.
I stamped a sentiment – Some Odd Girl – Everyday Smiles onto a piece of cream card. To secure wrapped twine, a little piece of Crafty Power Tape is perfect and strong – just apply it to the back.
A nice way to dress up a stamped image.
A further piece of Basic Grey – RSVP paper is attached to the front using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable, there is 15m of adhesive in each dispenser!
Finishing touch is a die cut flower – Blooms One from Spellbinders® ….
and a patterned brad to the flower centre.
Some close up photos …
Now we just need the sun to shine! Thank you for stopping by today.
Christine

Hi Christine. I love the bright and cheerful tag. The photo corners really finish the tag off don’t they! Lets hope the weather decides to stay bright and cheerful too, as it is at the moment! Take care.

What a lovely tag Christine. I made a tag based on one of your designs to attach to my Mum’s Christmas present this year, and she’s put it on display with all her favourite trinkets
