More Than Just a Tag Group Challenge

For this month’s group project, the Clear and Simple Stamps design team is sharing creative gift ensembles using the new Trendy Tags and coordinating Taglines sets. I dressed up a plain white gift bag and made a matching card to give along with a baby gift.

To decorate the gift bag, I simply added a panel of pastel patterned paper to the front of the bag along with a white cardstock strip stamped with the safety pin image from the Taglines set. I attached a strip of Green with Envy satin ribbon for a little texture, then used the same ribbon to attach a coordinating tag to the bag’s handle. The green's a great gender neutral color! I used the same patterned paper and stamped image on the tag as I did on the bag. The tag was die cut using the new Tags 1 die. I stamped the solid outline image on the tag and added the “welcome baby” sentiment just above the sentiment.

The coordinating 4 ¼” square card again uses the same papers, stamped images and color scheme. That makes putting a set like this together go very quickly. I used a safety pin on a circle panel as an accent on the card, matching the one on the tag on the bag’s handle.
