Hey Little Magpie project catch-up - January

I recently shared some ideas for gift tags with a difference over on the Hey Little Magpie blog using the True Stories die set by Shimelle.

All the details can be found here in that blog post, but I'll share the pics below. :)

I made a set of gift tags using the pocket die from coordinating papers from the Dear Lizzy line - I wanted a tag for almost every occasion:

And here they are on their own:

Accented with chipboard candles from the corresponding Thickers set from Dear Lizzy.

I had to include a little heart on one of the balloons on this one.

My trusty flower dies collected over the years came out to add a little floral accent to this get well tag.

Making rosettes with mini cupcake cases is still something I love the look of!

I doubled up the label dies in the True Stories set as a background to the sentiment for this one.

And with a sentiment like this one, I had to get my trusty Lawn Fawn sunshine die out.

And inside the tags?

Well, there was room to write a nice little message that only the recipient would see.

I cut a label from grey and pink cardstock, but used the To:, From:, and heart dies from a Mama Elephant embellished tag die set to prep the tag for use.

It was back to the cupcake wrapper trick for this one, complete with a 3D heart and banner cut from the die set.

The Lovely die looks great when popped out against contrasting backgrounds.

I also like the idea of using the pocket die to conceal little notes in packed lunches or for your kids. Very cute when combined with 6x6 paper designs like this one. :)

And finally, there had to be a card right?

Paper: Pebbles Inc., Heidi Swapp
Dies: American Crafts, Pebbles Inc., Lil' Inker Designs, Spellbinders
Other: vellum, 3D foam tape

I used these lovely subtle papers from the Jen Hadfield DIY Home collection by Pebbles and combined the "Lovely" banner from the True Stories die set with the "hello" and heart from the Jen Hadfield Cottage Living die set.
