Well, Barb has done it again.  A super fun project that is easy to make, but makes such a GREAT impression when given as a gift!  WOW! about sums it up!!!

Barb created a trio of simple gift tags and then altered a tin to put them in.  And the lush bow on the tin sends it over-the-top!

Plus, we have some new product (paper and stamps) to show you at the end of this post.

Presentation is everything, right?  So I’ll start with the packaging — the altered tin.

LOVE how Barb combined the gorgeous, fluffy Silk bow with the Faux Canvas ribbon — they look FABULOUS together!

You can see the full post on Barb’s blog here.

Barb used:

Stamps: Noel Christmas Ornaments, a large clear set by JustRite

Paper: Graphic 45 French Country – 8×8 pad

Dies: JustRite/Spellbinders co-branded Nested Medallion Labels; Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Edges Two (for band)

Ink: Memento Ink – Tuxedo Black, Rhubarb Stalk (in Arizona Canyon 4 pack)

Ribbon:  May Arts 1.25″ Silk Ribbon – Moss; 5/8″ Faux Canvas – Burgundy

Miscellaneous: Rhinestones, Scor Tape

And here’s the trio of tags! Aren’t they just so sweet!

For these Barb used:

Stamps: same as for tin – Noel Christmas Ornaments

Paper: same as for tin – Graphic 45 French Country – 8×8
