This blog hop's theme is to create a gift package or wrapping paper. I decided to decorate a white bag. I used one of my all time favorite sets as a background "Ornamental Snowflakes" in a very soft pattern. The top of the bag I folded over and created a flap with the Labels 1 Nestabilities die. Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE that die!! :) For this bag I closed the bag by punching holes & tying the sides with ribbon.
Doesn't the button in the middle of the snowflake have a nice effect? At first I made the bag (and the matching card you'll see next) without the button but it just felt like it needed an extra touch. A pink button was all it took to complete it! Here's a closeup of the tag BEFORE I added the button.
And, here's the card to match.
Making a matching card is a nice touch to a gift! And, you already have your supplies out, so it doesn't take a lot of extra time.
Supplies:
Stamps: Sweet Goodies, Ornamental Snowflake
Inks: Aquatic Splash VersaMagic, Toile Pink & Burnt Umber Palette
Paper: TAC Ultrasmooth White, Pink Bazzill, Robin's Egg DCWV, TAC More Mimi
Accessories: Ribbon, Button, Pop Dots, Scalloped Circle & Border Punch, Circle Punch, Labels 1 Nestabilities Die
