xmas '14

xmas tag upcycling

this card was made from this tag

xmas '14

gift bag + tag

simple gift bag sewed of burlap-like polyester fabric

houndstooth paper printed by me using regular laser printer

butterfly: recycled poster

and the gift itself was a logotype stamp (design by me) for my cardmaking mother

burlap bottle bag

frankly? I'm not a huge fan of sewing burlap

and I struggled to find some use for this orange one...

I'm not even sure why I bought it, but since I did so... this is one more booze bag ;)

the tag says "all the best" in Polish

yet another handmade bottle gift bag

orange fabric on a clothespin stabilized with thick paper first

tags say: serdeczności (all the best in Polish) and Od wina głupieje dziewczyna, 

which is a Polish saying that means (very roughly!) Wine makes a gal shine ;)

the red rectangle is a pocket for some additional message or banknotes ;)

robert browning as santa on gift tags

upcycled gift bag

well, it was a paper shopping bag with a logotype :)

has been cut in half and upcycled:

- scrapbooking paper on both sides

- fabric leaves painted with glidden's shaded fern (flat)

- paper flower made with paper punch

- fabric flower made with pinking shears

- and another one with papertrey ink steel die

- faux leather straps for handles

flowers made with hot glue and tim holtz tiny attacher

in vino veritas

i used a faux leather belt and fabric leftovers

printed on light brown envelope paper

as you can guess this bag is meant for a bottle of wine

hope it looks 'masculine' :)

some more simple gift tags

flower punch by dp craft

scriptina font

these are actually stickers (adhesive foam tape added at the back)

gift tags for teachers

they teach my co-worker's son :)

traditional scallop edge punch by martha stewart

paper cord from IKEA (i purchased this one ages ago)

beautiful es font

have yourself a merry little easter

have a fun one if you celebrate :)

hen & egg

this egg was meant to be a gift tag, yet my boyfriend missed his chance to use it ;)

so i added the hen, changed the sentiment and repurposed the tag itself

...

patterns by me (laser print on regular paper)

hand-cut egg

hen from this blog (photoshopped)

and it says 'with easter bonhomie'

...

and i'm taking part in this 'egg or hen?' challenge :)

as you can see my hen is a tad smaller than the egg...

the point is this is a dinosaur egg, which kind of explains who managed to came along first ;)

birthday gift tag

niagara solid font
'wire pin' by Tim Holtz

I reused a fabric covered price tag (Henri Lloyd I guess?)

wreath card

wreath gift tag

I like to use fishing line to attach tags
the wreath was hand drawn by me and digitalized the other year
(a wreath card is here)

it says 'all the best' with monika font

very simple tag, kind of masculine

frond punch by martha stewart
