25 Days of CHristmas Tags 2019 - Day 22

We are approaching the end of Tracey McNeeley's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. Today is day 22, sponsored by Birch Press Design.   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.  I'm down to two rolls of wrapping paper and two gift bags that I haven't made tags for yet, so it's getting a bit more challenging to tie all the elements together.

The design inspiration for today is really beautiful.  Birch Press Designs has some very intricate dies that the designers have used to make gorgeous layered tags.   I don't have any of their products, but my Ellen Hutson/Essentials by Ellen (Tracey's day 2 sponsor) Geo Tree die was a great alternative to make a tag inspired by Jeanne's pretty geometric pattern tag.  You can see Jeanne's tag here.

I made my tag to coordinate with a roll of silver wrapping paper.  I used charcoal gray glitter paper for the background of my tree, and silver sparkle paper for the star and mini-tag reinforcement ring.  It's so pretty in person, but the picture doesn't reflect it.  I decided to put the sentiment on a mini-tag rather than the tree so the tag can be used as an ornament if the recipient chooses to.  All of the supplies are listed below.

Many thanks to Birch Press Designs for being a sponsor, and to Jeanne and all the designers for the beautiful inspiration.

Twenty-two down, just three to go!

  1. This is so elegant! I love the monochromatic contrast, and the glitter paper goes so well with the shimmery ribbon and paper.

  2. This makes for an elegant tag for your wrapping paper! And since I have that die, I think I'll have to CASE this! Thanks for joining us again at Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.
