Check It Out - Gift Tags

Since all four of us work for or attend a University, it was Back-to-School week for the whole family this week. (Well, technically, my daughter was supposed to start last Thursday, but since she somehow managed to schedule all of her classes on Monday and Wednesday, she didn't have class until this week.) To celebrate my daughter's senior year, I made these fun goody bags for her and her roommates. 

​She has a great group of friends who she is rooming with again this year. They met the first day of band camp her Freshman year. I know lots of people make life-long friends in college, but I also know it doesn't necessarily happen for everyone.  I am so thankful she found this great group of buddies to spend these four years with.

​I bundled up some fun girly goodies and put them in 6"x8" cello bags (102210), tied each up with a ribbon, and added a some fun tags. I used a color combination of Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay, Poppy Parade, and Granny Apple Green. I stamped each of their names in a different color and then varied the cardstock and images so that each tag has a mix of the four colors.

To stamp their names, I used the *very* retired Headline Alphabet. I trimmed the edges and then threaded the strip through my Tailored Tag punch (145667) to cut only one end of it and create a tag that looked like a shipping label. 


Then, I used the new Check You Out stamp set (149462) to stamp the owl in Soft Suede ink and cut it with the Layered Circle dies (141705). I love this new stamp set! It has been on my wish list since the day the catalog was released and I am so glad I finally got it. It is great for making cards for students, teachers, or any of your favorite bookworms. I stamped the books in Bermuda Bay, Poppy Parade, Gorgeous Grape, and Granny Apple Green. I cut them out with my scissors and stacked them up. I angled and overlapped the books just a little so I could adhere them to one another with a little liquid glue. Then I attached them to the owl circle. I used some *very* retired flower eyelets to reinforce the holes at the top and tied it together with ribbon from my stash.

Hopefully the girls will enjoy receiving a package in the mail and it will be a great start to a great senior year!

​Don't worry, the boy was not left out. I made a similar tag for my son and used it to wrap a big box of his favorite treats. And as a bonus,  the hubby and I get to eat up all the extra candy I bought. I think we might need it to get through the first week!

If you or your kiddos are headed back to school, I hope you have an amazing first week too!
