Gift Wrapped Notebooks and Pen Tag |
P retty tag made using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 2" x 4" from Melon Mambo Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 2" from Pool Party Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Mango Melody Cardstock
- 1/8" x 2" from Calypso Coral Cardstock
Unlock the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. Slide one short edge of the Melon Mambo strip into the punch as far as it will go. Punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Gift Wrapped Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of paper (Grid Paper works great) on top of the mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the set of three little sparkles image from the Gift Wrapped Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Melon Mambo Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the top 2/3 of the Melon Mambo tag. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Let some of the images go off the edges.
Mount the "Wrapped Especially For You," "Tied With Love," or "Celebrate In Style" sentiment from the Gift Wrapped Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Melon Mambo Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Pool Party rectangle (make sure the 2" edges of the rectangle are horizontal).
Adhere the stamped Pool Party rectangle to the bottom of the stamped Melon Mambo tag.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the thin strip of Calypso Coral Cardstock to the tag so it covers the seam between the Melon Mambo and Pool Party layers.
Mount the large plaid bow image from the Gift Wrapped Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Melon Mambo Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal Mango Melocy strip. Leave room to punch out the image in the next step.
Unlock the Gift Bow Builder Punch. Hold it upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped bow into the punch and get it centered in the bow punching area. Punch.
Make sure you have some paper (Grid Paper works great) at your work space.to protect the work surface. The Stampin' Blends Markers will bleed through the cardstock that you are coloring so you need to protect your work surface.
Place the stamped bow punch out on the work paper and color with the Stampin' Blends Markers. The markers have a brush tip for coloring in larger areas and a fine tip for coloring in smaller areas.
Use the Dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blends to color in every other line of horizontal spaces on the ribbon.
Use the Light Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends to color in the center vertical stripe on the ribbon.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the colored bow punch out to the top of the tag at a slight angle.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small Calypso Coral sequins from a sheet of Artistry Blooms Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the front of the tag on the bottom around the sentiment.
Use ribbon to tie around your gift and tie the tag to the gift.
