Here's some fun gift tags from Peg. These are so cute to put on the top of presents. I love how she used the Clearly Heavy Overlays for the tag, and embellished it with rub-ons and paper. Here's are some tips she gives to create them.
1. cut the clearly heavy overlays in various rectangular shapes.
2. embellish each with the ornament rub-ons from the Holiday Rubon sheet.
Two directly onto the overlay, and one onto the Brocade paper first.
3. Cut a little strip of white cardstock for the "to" and "from" and finish
with a ribbon
products used :
rub ons - Christmas decor
papers - brocade
clearly heavy overlays
These candy and cookie boxes are made by Mandi, which is a prefect way to hold all the yummy treats everyone bakes this time of year.
I love how Mandi uses the overlays as dividers for the different treats and to line the bottom of each box.
Once all the goodies are gone, you could easily reuse the box for something else!
Mandi said this on her blog about the boxes
"I was so delighted to find shaker boxes for less than a dollar at a craft store. And I'm pretty sure one sleeve of Holiday Rub-Ons from Hambly could decorate about five boxes, or more! Finally, cute holiday boxes are affordable!"
products used :
transparency - grandma's wallpaper
rub ons - Christmas decor

Oh my gosh! I LOVE the clear acrylic tags. It's simple and has the wow factor!. I started making a whole bunch of gift card cards...and then the news said those were the worst things to give for gifts this year...ugh...I'll just find someothing else or maybe just get McDonald gift cards. How many McDonalds will go out of business???

Love your little shaker boxes all decorated and how clever to use the overlays as dividers in the box! I made boxes this year to hold treats I'll give at my ladie's luncheon this year. I also made tags which are used for name placeholders at each table setting but then they can take them home and use them on gifts. Thank you for the giveaway - good luck everyone!
