Style Watch: How to Make a Pillow Box Tag

As you’ll see in tomorrow’s post (stay tuned!) , Christmas is in full swing up in this house. Tree is up. Table settings are out. And we’ve already gone through more than a few cartons of egg nog. This means that you’re gonna have to bear with me for the next few weeks as I share lots of holiday-themed projects. If you’re lucky, maybe I’ll post a video of my awesome (read: not really that awesome) one-person rendition of Baby It’s Cold Outside. You haven’t lived until you’ve heard me sing both the male and female parts of that song.

Today’s holiday-themed project will give you a look at two new products that I am loving from Clear and Simple Stamps : the Partial Tag Dies and the Party Favor 15 Die. Together, these dies make for pretty cool, unique embellishments for your gift wrap.

Once you have got the technique down,  you can decorate your pillow box with all sorts of embellishments.  I opted for some simple circle labels along with patterned paper and doily die cuts.

    No one, NO ONE does such beautiful packaging with quite the same panache as you, Amber. Love the hanging pillar box idea!
