I saw this great video on YouTube recently by a UK demonstrator Linda Parker, you can see it here, anyway I was wanting to make a box to hold tags for this weeks Crafternoon class and it looked perfect – except it was the wrong size. So after a couple of attempts and some scrap paper, the below was the result, a box the perfect size to hold tags.
I used the Timeless Type Designer Series Paper and the new banner punch (love this one). The measurements for this box are 7 3/8″ x 10 1/8″. On the short side score at 1 3/8″ and 6″. Rotate the paper 90′ and score at 1 3/8″, 3 3/8″, 5 3/4″ and 7 3/4″. Punch all the score lines as per Linda’s video and assemble. The designer series paper was cut to 11cm x 5.5cm, 11cm x 4.5cm and 11cm x 3cm for the top and front pieces. The banner was 2″ x 4 1/4″ in the kraft and 1 1/2″ x 4″ in the Typeset designer series paper. The bow was made from the kraft paper.
A variety of tags were made using the tag topper punches and various stamp sets.
These are suitable for all different occasions.
Some are simple and others more involved.
The entire set will make a nice gift, once I add twine and ribbon to the tag tops!
