Last year, a work colleague had asked me to make a bunch of little gift tags that she could use on hostess gifts to write a little note and her name. As we were discussing and she mentioned she sometimes handed out wine bottles, I remembered seeing pictures of tags meant to be hung on bottles, with a circle punched at the top. Out of curiosity, I grabbed some paper scraps and tried making my own template (see the original tag HERE), then I took pictures and showed my coworkers, asking her if it would be something that could be useful to her. She loved the idea and asked me if I could make 20 for her. I have been sitting on this order for a while, and I finally got inspired to start making some when I saw the Stampin' Royalty challenge #328 - Anything but a card. Once I started going, I just couldn't stop! The ideas kept coming and I decided to go with the flow while inspiration was coming easily.
Before starting, I pulled out my retired Designer Series Papers and made a pile of collections I wanted to use. I also went through my stamp collection and pulled out everything that had a thank you sentiment and that I thought I could use on a tag. Then as I went through the papers, I selected stamps that would pair well, and I made a pair of tags with each paper pack, to save on time.
Here are the tags I've come up with so far. So, tell me: Which is your favorite?
