tag boxes

Here is a box we did for club, holding several tags made with the ornament set and punch. I thought they turned out cute. They have a piece of acetate covering them holding everything in. The colors used for it were Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and Always Artichoke. Of course it's tied with Rich Razzleberry ribbon and the tag is tied on with linen thread and the ones inside are tied with either silver or gold cording that was in the mini.

I also made this sample box using the Level 2 Hostess set. I didn't add cording to these though as it was to show how you could modify the box as needed. These were punched out using various coordinating punches. These were fairly quick and easy to put together. The hardest part was the acetate as the score lines are harder to see, but other then that a fairly simple design. You just make the outside box and then add the inserts (2 long sections and then one down the middle). Just adhere it down well is all you do. Put the top on and tie it with a ribbon and you are done.

I hope you enjoy the boxes and ideas. You could always substitute the Christmas tags with birthday or other holiday tags and give this gift year round. Have a great day. If you have any questions, just ask. God bless.
