Tags and wrapping paper

At the November stampers’ club we made tags and matching wrapping paper. The burgandy and cream above was my favourite and was definitely the easier of the two so that’s the one I will be reproducing to wrap my gifts this year. I bought the roll of paper from IKEA as it is $5 for 40 metres. It isn’t pure white but I can live with that. All I did for the tag and wrap above was use the So Swirly jumbo roller and burgandy cartridge to first roll the corner of my tag and then roll diagonally across my wrapping paper. I also used just the word Peace from the Perfect Presentation set, the ticket corner punch and some burgandy ribbon.

This tag and paper took a little more time as you need to stamp each tree and each star individually. To make the top of the tag I punched a 1¼” square out of white card which I had already scored, lining up the corners of the square with my scoring. Then I did the same with the 13/8″ punch and the red card. I folded them over the top of the tag and then hammered my way through six layers of cardstock with my hole punch. The little dots on the tree are the made using the snow from Snowflake Spot.
