Artisan Post #15: Book Treat Box Super Tags

For Christmas I love to create hand-made tags to give presents presence so I have designed these super tags that can double as ornaments.

These Book Treat Box tags have been embellished with the Reindeer Days 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper, the Reindeer Fun Dies, and the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set. These tags are two gifts in one; a fancy tag for a package that can be also be hung as an ornament.

In the photo you will see the products I used to create these super tags. Mostly, I focused on the Reindeer Days Suite Collection.

To begin, cut about an inch off of the tab of a Book Treat Box. Next, use a Bone Folder to burnish the folds on both the outer and inner pieces of the Book Treat Box. Then cover the outside of the box with a piece of Reindeer Days DSP. Before assembling the inner box add another piece of Reindeer Days DSP. Assemble the inner box.

Cut a window in the non-tabbed end of the outer Book Treat Box piece using one of the Nested Essentials Dies. Save the inside of the window piece for later.

Decorate the inside of the inner box with die cuts and fussy cut images. For added dimension cut a strip of Window Sheet about 4 1/2” x 1”. Score a 1/2” at each end to create tabs. Fold on the tabs and burnish with a Bone Folder. Add die cut and fussy cut elements to the strip and then insert into the box. Now the inner box can be added to the outer box.

Here's a closer look at the dimension and the details inside the box.

Use a few more of the Greetings of the Season images to add a “to” and “from” label to the back of the Book Treat Boxes tags.

Bonus! While all your supplies are out, make a few more tags with the scraps.
