Hi everyone.  Heather Leopard is here and before I show you my Christmas Gift Wrap Tags, I want to say that I’m thrilled to be returning to the design team for a 2nd year.  My goal is to inspire you with scrapbooking layouts and all things crafty.  Please let me know what you like about me and would like to see more of from me – cut files, types of layouts, more photos, less photos on a layout, etc. etc.  Just leave me a comment and/or connect with me on social media, which are all listed at the bottom of this post.

Now, let’s get started with today’s crafty project…

To get started, wrap your gifts in your favorite gift wrap  or if your package is small enough, using patterned paper that coordinates with your tags.

Gather your supplies

Create your tags

Add strips of Washi on white cardstock, precut to slightly larger than your Christmas tree design that you will be cutting. Make sure to add enough rows and cover the majority of the paper.

Cut your design using your favorite die cut, machine or by hand.

For all tags, layer die cuts and embellishments. Make sure to write a personalized note to the back of the tags. Then, tie twine around the gifts, making sure to tie your gift tags into the twine.

Beach Tag Mini Album | Quick Gift

18

Leave a Comment

Aloha everyone!  Heather Leopard here writing this blog post while on an amazing vacation in Hawaii.  I wanted to create a beach tag mini album to document our activities as a gift to my family.  The idea was to create a new page every day and add a small 2″ x 3″ photo of the day.  The photos show the album without pictures since we are just beginning our vacation.  I will be back home by the time you read this so join me on Instagram (@heatherleopard) to see it with photos included.

As you can see, I created a pineapple box to hold the beach tag mini album.  The mini album is made using many tags, die cuts and stickers.  So cool, so fun and so QUICK!

This project took a little planning ahead of time. I knew I wanted to give it to my family when I got to Hawaii but I didn’t want it to get damaged en route to Hawaii.  With that in mind, I cut the box bits and tags ahead of time.  I knew I wanted to use my mobile printer that prints 2″ x 3″  photos so I made the tags large enough to hold the photos.  I waited to put it together until I got there (super easy to pack since I left all the pieces flat!).

I used a cut file from the Silhouette store.  The pineapple leaves came in one size but I wanted them to better resemble a pineapple stalk so I cut three sizes and layered them over each other as shown.

Naturally I had to use the pineapple patterned paper to cover the base of the box that will hold the beach tag mini album.

I pre-cut each pattern in various-sized tags including everything from standard tags and leaves to scallop circles. I liked most of the Side A and Side B patterns so I ended up dividing many of the the tags for greater variety.

The die cuts and cardstock stickers are great for adding dimension and layers to the tags.  Some of these will be tucked under the photos while others will go on top.  In addition, I also added mini puffy stickers because they are just too cute.

The first tag I created was the cover.  These are quite small so I had to keep it to a minimum. I started with a palm tree (and added a sun/puffy stickers later). Next, I included the location and year.

Here you can see the tags for the first half of the mini album. You can also see how I added the sun and puffy stickers to the cover tag. To make these, I sorted the larger tags in the order I wanted them and then I added the smaller accent tags.  I finished them off with additional die cut shapes and stickers.

Below are the tags for the second half of the mini album.

Once they were all complete, I tied them together with a palm tree leaf. Some of these will hold photos while the others are perfect for journaling and holding items we may collect along the way.  I may also add tickets and other items using a hole punch.

Ready for the memories

Once the palm leaf dries, it will become more sturdy.  However… I may want to add in more tags  or souvenirs, so a metal book ring or ribbon might be better suited for the job.  That way, I can tie on the palm leaf to when I get home.

So there it is. This beach tag mini album was very fast to put together. It seems like it took me only about 30 minutes once all the pieces were cut so probably 45 – 60 minutes max.  Simply cut the tags, embellish, add photos and journaling, you are done!

I can’t wait to fill it up with details of our trip but I’m looking forward to creating memories with my family most of all.

DIY Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags

2 Comments

Hello Pebbles friends! It’s Monique from the Pebbles’ Design Team with you today sharing this simple Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags project with you! As both my father and my father-in-law are huge fans of good wine, we are going to give them both a bottle of good wine. Of course these bottles need a little decoration, and what is more fun than creating Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags, including a pocket for an extra gift card or a card with a sweet message?! I decided to use the stunning Pebbles Simple Life collection from Jen Hadfield. Although this collection definitely has a feminine touch with the elegant flower die-cuts and stickers, I think it’s also perfect to use for men’s projects; the quiet neutral and earthy colors are just what I look for when creating a project for a man.

Here’s a photo of the Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags I created:

As there’s still a little time to create these Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags yourself, I’ll show you quickly how I created them.

I started with a cut file from the Silhouette store, but if you don’t own an electronic die-cutting machine these are easy to create without it as well. After cutting the base for the Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags from two different colored sheets of cardstock, I collected the items I thought I would need to create my Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags:

For the inside of the brown tag I chose the Poppies and the Garden Tools patterned papers:

And for the front of the pocket I chose the Barn Wood patterned paper:

Before embellishing the tags I doodled a line around the sides of the patterned paper with a black precision pen. Next, I selected a sticker from the “Sentiments” cardstock stickers and a die-cut of a bunch of flowers:

The following step is selecting a word sticker, a wood veneer butterfly and forming the word “DAD” using matching American Crafts Thickers. To adhere the wood veneer butterfly I used 3D foam adhesive to create a little “depth”:

And tada! Here’s (one of) the finished Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tag:

The second Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tag turned out like this:

Both tags measure 3.5″ x 8.5″ and have a score & fold line at 3″ from the top. They fit around a wine bottle perfectly! Look:

I really love how this turned out and can’t wait to see if my father and father-in-law will like the decoration around their wine bottles. Now I just have to buy a gift card to insert in the pockets of these fun Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags and my gifts are ready to be handed over!

Thanks for stopping by to have a look at my project. If you like it then you’ve still got today and tomorrow to create one for your father or father-in-law as well, or maybe you could help your child to create one for their dad. The Father’s Day Wine Bottle Tags are super easy to create and soooo fun to embellish. Here’s the list with supplies I used:

Gift Bag Tags

We’re always looking for great ways to dress up a basic. Today Designer Juliana Michaels is sharing a collection of fun gift bag tags she made using the Garden Party collection.

Hang Tags and Frames

Hello and Happy Spring! When I was first asked to create a project using some of the Pebbles frames and tags, the first thing that came to mind was a banner. I quickly dismissed this idea, because we’ve had some awesome banners shared already on the Pebbles blog by the Pebbles Design Team and decided to keep brainstorming.

I finally settled on the idea of creating a set of Garden Party gift bags using the new Special Delivery Baby Girl Printed Bags and some frames and tags from the Garden Party Cardstock Die Cuts pack.

How to decorate the bags:

Create a base piece by cutting a piece of patterned paper to 4″ x 5″. Ink the edges.

Cut a 3″ x 4″ band from patterned paper. Ink the edges and then center this piece horizontally on the base piece.

Use a sewing machine to stitch a border around the outside edge.

Select one of the die cut frames and cut a piece of patterned paper to fill the opening.

Select a die cut shape and attach it to the front of the frame with dimensional foam tabs.

Add sentiment sticker.

Attach embellished frame to patterned paper base with dimensional foam tabs.

Cut two 9″ lengths of jute and tie into a small bow. Attach to frame with Mini Clothespin.

Attach completed piece to front of bag.

Repeat this process using other frame and tag shapes from the Garden Party Cardstock Die Cuts pack.

I think these would be perfect to use as gift bags for a spring themed Garden or Tea Party. Can’t you just see them filled with a packet of seeds or some of your favorite flavors of tea?
