I wrapped up a few holiday gifts tonight, and thought I'd share one of the gift tags I made. I started with a tag that was on a pet toy that was a super cute shape, and made of very sturdy chipboard ... perfect for altering! I covered both sides of the tag with patterned paper and used a few die cut shapes and stamps to decorate the shape. The altered project is much "cuter", and made easy enough by adding a little glue, paper, and stamps!
Maybe you'll see something in your own holiday shopping stash that can be upcycled for holiday wrapping!
Supplies
Stamps: Lawn Fawn (dog), Studio G (alpha)
ShinHan Touch Twin markers
Paper: American Crafts, Neenah, BoBunny, The Stamps of Life, Dog Toy Tag
Ink: Memento Black
Dies: Scalloped Edge (Sizzix), Egg and Banner (The Stamps of Life), Dog (Lawn Fawn)
Other: Tracing Wheel, eyelet

Super cute!

AWESOME! LOVE this! I probably would have traced it so I could use the shape again and again, LOL!!
