GIFT CARD AND TAG AND TAG HOLDER

 Hello everyone,

What a week, it is Friday again and I have been opening a birthday present every day for the last 26 days, and sharing through My Story on Facebook and only a few more presents left as Tuesday is my birthday and tomorrow we off out for a dinner, the family and I, my restaurant choice, and I chose all you can eat buffet and the local RSA..what fun, looking forward to it..



But, for today, I'm sharing  project I saw on You Tube and forget, or lost my note, from where I saw it..


This is my  12x12 bases all folded.
Fold 4 inches from bottom, then in half..


pretty blue 12 x12 papers


front and back panel and over the top flap for the front..


Black panels covered with the papers, very close to the edges,
I only wanted a smidgeon showing.
Then each page glued to the other, so no black base is showing, just pages and pockets...??? what!!..I don't know, just glue the backs to the back and it made a book..


Just showing the pockets here with scratch paper..
I filled the pockets with cards, envelops tags and more tags....




Card bases, shows seven but I messed one up so went with six..



Some stamping in the corners...




Then there was six..


I made tags 


and used my new hand held slot punch..love it.



Then came time for the punched flowers,,,,lots of them.



and all coloured up..
..I started with pencils but realized I needed it finished this year so went onto markers..




I made pockets on an angle using a pretty border die, and added them onto the tag
then flowers all over and tiny tags inside..

So here it is in pictures..











And there you go, such a sweet gift to give, there is cards and tags and all sorts, you can add a book of stamps and everything will be at your finger tips..

Thank you so much for stopping by..
I'll be back when I can..have a great weekend when yours gets there..

Luv CHRISSYxx

Love this Chrissy, we used to call them wallet folds or file folders, I think, :)) used to send each other stamped images, naughty but nice, saved us all a bob or two as well, haha, we did get stopped I must confess.
Love the papers used, so pretty and I am a sucker for a black background, always makes things pop.
Sounds like your going to have a wonderful birthday, how are you keeping your hands off the pressies, to tempting for me I think. xx
