let it snow


Welcome to Day 5 of my quick and easy packaging for the holidays series of posts.  Today, I have a fun discovery to share with you.  Did you know the Tag Sale #1 die fits perfectly on top of the Large Hinged Tins Papertrey Ink carries?  I had created this little tag and was deciding what packaging to use it with when I discovered it fits perfectly!  When you tie a ribbon around at the top of the tag, you can hardly see the top of the tag so it looks great with the large tin.

Creating my tag was very simple.  I used the Tag Sale #1 die to die cut some kraft cardstock.  Then, I stamped the tag with a background stamp from Holly Jolly.  I die cut some white cardstock and some pure poppy cardstock with dies from the Limitless Layers die collection.  Then, I stamped the Let it Snow tag from 2010 Holiday Tags Collection.  I layered the circles and added a small rhinestone to the snowflake.  Then, I wrapped some baker's twine around the bottom of my tag.  I tied some candy apple red wrinkle ribbon (from my etsy shop) around the top and stitched a pinefeather button in the center before adhering the tag to my tin.

Okay, I am off to edit some photos and get them uploaded to the Papertrey Ink gallery.  Hope you're having a great weekend!
