I’ve always wanted to participate in the monthly Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, but somehow always put it off to the last minute. This month I got my project done in plenty of time. This month’s Blog Hop Challenge was to create a quick & inexpensive wrap or tag that can be the perfect solution for “grab & go” gifts. I’ve saved all the plastic boxes that my stamps from Papertrey come in thinking they’d make a good package for gifts. Indeed they do! A whole box of Tazo tea fit neatly inside. A simple ribbon and tag complete the gift.
This steaming cup from the 2008 Holiday Tag Collection was the perfect accompaniment. I used Perfect Pearls and some glitter to emphasize the steam. A quick run through my Cuttlebug with an embossing folder, a holly punch, and three gems complete the tag. Scarlet Jewel cardstock was used with the scalloped punch.
This is an elegantly recycled way to present a gift – very good idea Karen. I love how you describe the process…’a quick run through’ …. I’m sure you’re well versed – this would be a very slow process for me!
gorgeous AND brilliant. I’m printing this out now to see if I can create a pale imitation of your work out.
The ribbon is gorgeous and I love your tag!
Beautiful tag!
BEAUTIFUL!! Such a sweet little gift!!
Very elegant. I love the perfect pearls for steam.

That tag is beautiful, and what a wonderful gift idea, love how you put it all together!
Your tag is gorgeous!!
What a fabulous gift & tag!!!
These are lovely 🙂
Oooo – I’m almost all the way through the Hop, and this is my favorite!
Wow! What a great idea and a great presentation! Anyone would be so happy to get this, and I bet the tea is not all that expensive, too- you could coordinate the colors based on the tea bag colors! Do you think the store folks would think it odd if I was selecting tea flavors based on matching the pieces of ribbon I took in??
Very elegant, Karen! Love the pearls and embossing on your tag. What a great idea to use the stamp boxes 🙂
This is gorgeous! What a fun way to use your stamp set packaging. And your bow is beautiful!!!
