Jar of Cheer Gift Tags

 
Thought I'd play around with  my Jar of Cheer stamp set today to see if my idea of gift tags would work.  I also used the Jar of Love Stamp bundle.

 


Here's the final product.  I used the medium jar stamp from the Jar of Love stamp set and the corresponding Framelit.  Using a piece of cardstock 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 folded in half, I stamped the Jar in Mossy Meadow. 

The gingerbread man is from the retired stamp set Scentsational, the candies are from Candy Cane Lane stamp set and the rest are from the Jar of Cheer. The gingerbread man is stamped in Crumb cake, the others are stamped in Cherry Cobbler except the snowman, he's stamped in Basic Gray and colored with Cherry Cobbler, and some retired markers that I had.  You can't see it but I also used a bit of Wink of Stella on him.  The jar rings are stamped in Cherry Cobbler also.  Oh the little bow tie on the gingerbread man is from the Snow Place stamp set.

When I went to die cut the jar I placed the edge of the top of the jar off the paper (folded edge), and ran it through the Big Shot. I hope you can see that in this photo.





I used my magnetic plate but on the little dies they sometimes don't like to stay put, so I use a little removable tape made by Scotch Tape, a Post-it flag or Post-it Note would also work. 

When I glued the jar ring onto the jar I only used glue on the bottom of the back of the ring, and positioned it so that half of the ring was off the page.  I used the fine tip glue  for this on my Silicone Craft Sheet so the glue doesn't get all over. 


Then on the inside I stamped "to" and "from' using the stamp from the Candy Cane Stamp set. 

I think they are rather cute.  I haven't decided if I'm going to put some bakers twine through a hole in the top.  There is a cute spool in the Holiday Catalog, with some bling in it, it is paired in the catalog with a spool of Real Red baker's twine.

I was thinking of making some more and selling them in set's of 4 at the craft fair.  I might try my hand at making some also out of Wondrous Wreath and maybe Embellished Ornament bundles.
