Crafty Catz DT - Bags and Tags

Good Morning,

 

Another Friday closer to Christmas - seriously where has this year gone?! it's scary! but we're not quite in Christmas mode at Crafty Catz, this week Jac has set us all the challenge of Bags and/or Tags. So if you want to get ahead on Christmas gift bags or tags, feel free - but I'm still on Birthday mode at the moment; 4 more to go before Christmas!

 

This week we have two fab sponsors; Crafty Ribbons and Digi Stamps for Joy. They are offering our lucky winners:

and

5 digi's of winners choice

 

You lucky things! So on with my creation this week. I'm not much of a gift bag girl - all about the boxes for me, but I am really getting into tags at the moment and this is what I came up with:



I used two embossed and slightly glittered cardstock pieces and cut them to 1.5cm wide and wove them. I then glued the whole thing onto a kraft card backing and using my trusty template, drew and cut out the overall shape (yes, it is the same shape as the tags I made a couple of weeks ago). I then glued down the loose ends on the top.

 

The sentiment is from Digi Stamps for Joy, which I cut out using my nestie dies, sprayed with shimmer mist and edged with Sahara calk ink. The roses are Marianne D dies and the leaf punch is woodware. I dusted the top of the roses with Rose Blush chalk ink and cut the leaves from scraps of paper. I layered the whole thing up and added some organza ribbon for the loop.

 

So there we go, I was really pleased with how this turned out - in fact I'm a tad reluctant to part with it! lol! Don't forget to pop by Crafty Catz to see the rest of the girls fab creations and do come play with us.

 

Until next time - happy crafting!
