I used all the same basics as I used on yesterday's post about gift tags such as double thickness of all the papers, etc. I have these QuicKutz Label Dies from several years ago so I used the largest 2 sizes to cut my tags. Since the ribbon would have a loop to slip over the neck of the wine bottle, it didn't matter that the labels didn't have a hole, but you could easily put one in using a hole punch, a silent setter or whatever method you have. I just happen to like the little criss cross of the ribbon on the center of the label. Simon Says Stamp has labels dies in a wide variety of styles and sizes.
I cut my favorite "Thanks" die from Mama Elephant using Bazzill Marshmallow 100# Card Stock. I laid the die cut on my craft mat and inked it up with Versamark, then put Ranger Super Fine Detail Silver Embossing Powder all over it and heat set it. I repeated that process two additional times but I didn't really notice the third time making much of a difference. I like to do this to get a very three dimensional type of decorative element. Silver embossing powder melts the smoothest and fastest of any embossing powder I have and I actually tried several including a new sparkle embossing powder from Tsukineko, Iridescent Sparkle, Diamond Sparkle and Opaque White.
This tag went together fairly quickly once I finished cutting all the pieces. We all get those last minute invitations to dinner or a party during the holiday season and I thought it would be handy to have a few of these ready to go and slip over the neck of a wine bottle as a hostess gift. I used a combination of Ranger Multi Medium Matte, Glue Dots and Foam Squares with ribbon I already had. A few fun little sequins to make it feel festive and I was finished.
Black is always in style but you could make something similar in any colors you like. Thanks for stopping by today!
Gorgeous gift tag! Love the stunning background and the beautiful die cut. Thank you so much for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Hugs, Sandra
