Naughty or Nice? : Gift Tag and Gift Card Holder

My first stamping project is this Christmas gift tag and matching gift card holder.  I used an almost monochromatic palette. Interest is generated through the play of textures - paper, ink, metal and ribbon.   

I inked up my Inkadinkado Christmas stamps in Black

Randomly stamped on a piece of 2.5"x3" paper

Inked up again in Bamboo, stamped and cut out 2 smaller pieces

Assembled the smaller pieces on top and glued on two metal charms

Glued onto a tag and tied on some ribbons

Cut out this template from a 5.5"x 3.5" paper. Each smaller tab is 0.25" wide. Apply glue on 2 tabs indicated

Assemble into a holder with holes in the front and back for the handle

Use brads to secure a 0.5"x4" handle to the holder

Use jump rings to attach charms to a chain and secure around the handle

And there you have it a completed gift tag sitting pretty in it's gift card holder.
