SSNOTIME116***TAG - YOU'RE IT***



Sharon's STAMP SIMPLY CHALLENGE this week is to make a pretty tag to hang on bottle, attach to a package or anywhere your tag might call home.
I, again, am killing two birds with one stone.
We are going to friends for dinner next week and I wanted to make something to transport the bottle of wine in.
So I cut a piece of white felt 12 1/2" x 16", folded it in half lengthwise and pinked the top.
I cut out some holly leaves from green felt just by hand and stitched them onto one side, added the stem with a running stitch and then added some buttons for the holly berries. Turning right sides together, I just stitched it up on my sewing machine. After adding the bottle of wine I added a piece of red silk ribbon and the TAG!!
I wanted to find something that resembled the holly and berries on the bag so chose a set from Papertrey Ink, " Holiday Button Bits ". I stamped the leaves in Versamagic Tea Leaves ink, added some glitter and again added buttons for the berries.
The sentiment is from the same set.. I attached it to the bag with some funky red fibers. The tag is" ULTRA SIMPLE". This time of year I don't need to concentrate on anything too complicated.
We say goodbye to Bethany Paul who was our guest designer for November and say hello to Michelle Woerner who joins us for December.
Check out all the fabulous TAGS that our design team has to offer and enjoy your weekend.***
