More holiday fun continues as we embark on the second Papertrey Ink group post for October. What would gift giving through the holidays be without beautiful tags and dies to make that special gift even more thoughtful and personal? The 2011 Holiday Tag set is beautiful...lots of style and oodles of variety mixed with Nichole's classy, signature touches.
I created a cookie pocket to give as a fun neighbor gift. The simple, plain, Jane, brown paper bag has been dressed up and country-fied...the homespun feel is my favorite look for Christmas. I used the new Tag Sale #5 die and layered it over a snowflake cut using the Damask Snowflake die.
A tulle bow at the top and then Vintage Cream felt holly berry leaves, cut using the Holly Jolly die collection, embellish the center of the bow.
Down the side of the bag, one of my most favorite new additions this release..."merry" cut using the Wonderful Words: Holiday die collection.
The coordinating card uses the very same elements and dies. The tag image and sentiment were stamped using VersaMark Watermark Ink pad and embossed with Adirondack Espresso embossing powder.
I love the color combination for this homespun feel: Scarlet Jewel, Kraft, and Rustic Cream. The patterned paper is from Simple Stories and the rusty jingle bells are from Frost it Pink.
Thanks so much for stopping in. Here are some wonderful links for you to follow:
Love the tag and the colors on the tag. Wish I had me that cookie.
