Altered Gift Tags

This is a heavy picture overload...lol

 

 

I purchased two or three little boxes of "note cards" a few years back

in the $1 bins at Michaels....

I thought they would be cute to alter into little gift tags

perfect for a birthday, wedding shower or Mother's Day

when I saw the Graphic 45 Secret Garden Collection

and the challenge at Joan's Gardens this week,

 I thought the two would "mesh" together perfectly!!

I LOVE Graphic 45...all of it....but this has to be my favorite collection so far!!

 

This is the box I made to store them in.....

and the following pictures are the little tags,

they are approx. 3" square each

 

All four cards have matching envelopes, I have only shown the front

but on the backs of each I have covered the flap with matching paper

Some of the cards have "pop ups" which the pictures don't show too well

 

 

I wish you could see them in person, as they are a beautiful little set!!

Here is how they fit inside the box....

 

 

The challenge was to :

use a square

alter it

use flower paper

and use a product sold at Joan's Gardens

 

Product used that can be purchased/ordered from Joan's Gardens are:

Graphic 45 Secret Garden paper ( I used paper from the 8 x 8 pad)

Cheery Lynn BAF set #3 Embellishments

Marianne L0157

Kaiser Craft Pearls

 

One of the things I want to mention that I LOVE when ordering from

Joan's Gardens, is that she charges you actual shipping...
I love that as I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to purchase 1 or 2 things

only to have the shipping be higher then the purchase...

my budget can't always "stand" to place a large order to make the shipping worth while

so this is great, as, if I need/want a certain thing, I can email or call, and know

it will be reasonable...oh and she is usually a bit less on her products, too!!
