Little Bag O' Tags & Card Candy

Each year at Christmas, I hand-stamp an item for my stamp club members in lieu of giving them cards. I figure they'd rather have something they can use. This year I stamped a set of gift tags from the Tags For All stamp set and enclosed them in a little cello bag with a topper. Because I had to stamp so many tags, I kept them all simple with a single color per tag. Some of the tags are adorned with ribbon.

Stamp sets: tags for all, baroque motifs
Inks: real red, wild wasabi, bashful blue
Cardstock: real red, wild wasabi, bashful blue, whisper white
Embellishments: real red grosgrain, red gingham, wild wasabi double stitched grosgrain, french blue grosgrain (retired)


Last year, my club members each got a package of card candy made from our small & large tag punches and several of our now retired tag stamp sets in bold bright colors. The tags can be used to embellish a card or scrapbook page. Here's a photo of the finished product.
