A Gift of Gift Tags

Hey there...hope you're all enjoying your weekend!!  I picked up a pack of tiny gift tags from Ben Franklin (they measure 1-5/8" x 3-1/4") and they've been sitting on my craft table for awhile.  I was in the middle of another project (the baskets in the previous post) but these tags were calling me and I HAD to stop and make these.  It all came together in a few minutes since I used just 2 stamps (with no coloring...some cutting though). 


The 2 stamps I used were #5032 (Solid Flower 1) and the gold sashiko design is from MC-25 (Hi There).  I cut out the flower and glued down just the center (pulling the petals up) to add some dimension.  As you can see below,  I used a small piece of tape on the back to hold the ribbon down on each tag (just a smaaaallll piece so that when it's removed it won't tear the tag and the recipient can write their message on the back).  Then I put a foam dot on top of the tape and placed each tag onto the card...that way the gift actually becomes the card and the recipient can remove each tag to use :)
