Today is day 20 of Tracey McNeeley's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. You can read about Tracey's fun event and play along here.
I'm
still making tags to match holiday wrapping paper and
gift bags that I have on hand. My goal is to each day find a tag that
I'm
inspired by (not hard at all with all the beautiful and creative
designers participating), pick a wrapping paper or a gift bag, and when I
can, use the
sponsor of the day products as well.
My supply of wrapping paper and
gift bags is dwindling down, so it's getting a bit more challenging to
tie all the elements together. Today I used a gift bag that will be perfect for a bottle of sparkling wine for a friend.
Today's sponsor is Jillian Vance Design. There were several tags on the blog post that I really liked. I decided to use Rosemary's pretty red and gold foiled snowflake tag (here) as my inspiration. I don't have any Jillian Vance products, so I used an Ellen Hutson (day 2 sponsor) set that coordinates with my gift bag.
I used embossing glitter on eggplant colored card stock and added a tiny rhinestone to the center of each snowflake. Of course it's hard to see all the sparkle in the picture, but it's really pretty in person. My choice of sentiments is tied to my idea of putting a bottle of sparkling wine in the gift bag. Not sure the recipient will catch-on, but I think it's a cute tie-in :-). All of the supplies are listed below.
Many thanks to Jillian Vance Designs for being today's sponsor, and to Rosemary and all of the designers for their inspiration.

Thanks so much, Susan.
DeleteThis tag is so elegant! I love all the aspects of 'sparkle' you included.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cacia. I wish all the sparkle photographed better!
DeleteI think this tag is lovely and goes really well with the bag! In my own experience, I tend not to think of a meaning behind a sentiment until perhaps the next day when I'm reviewing and making the *thank you* cards. I just enjoy the gift in the moment and the smile will more than likely come the next day as I get the meaning :) You put such thought into your beautiful creations and I'm enjoying them and getting inspiration, too. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carol. I love all the little details, it keeps makes fun!
DeleteGorgeous wintry wonderland on your tag; perfect to dress up your gift bag! Another gem in the 25 Days gallery!
