May has been challenging from a health perspective as I first got Covid and then my allergies went haywire so I haven 't been in my craft room as often as I would like. It feels good to get back to it.
This challenge is all about movies, songs, tags or birds. I had multiple different ideas but decided to use something I haven't used before from my stash. I have personally challenged myself to go through aaaaalllll my dies and use ones I haven't before and decide on which are keepers. I have a lot of stuff in this craft room and it is time I used it! As well, I bought a hot foiling machine in April and being sick delayed my playing with it so here we go!
I chose to do a tag with a cool insert to hold a gift card. Gift cards are always appreciated by my 2 guys and nephews. I cut out the frame and then added the layers for the front and the gift card insert. I added a white panel inside for a personal message to the receiver. I struggled with where to put the TO/FROM. This is typically visible but I had put decorative paper on the outside and didn't think that the TO/FROM would go well there! I decided this is going to be a "hand directly to the receiver tag" or put the name on the back tag. This allowed me to play with my hot foil machine and create the JOY for the front of the tag. This tag set (and the foil machine) definitely need some more hands on time.
TaDa!
I couldn't get the gift card to close as nicely as I wanted so I added the ribbon and tied the little bow on it - the bow slides up and down the ribbon and keeps the tag closed :).
