Between Mondays and Fridays, my mornings and afternoons (and sometimes evenings) are dedicated to managing a team of accountants at the private company I’ve called home for the past 23 years. While I’m mostly working from home, I am in online meetings, planning big projects and finding resolutions for challenging issues. I love the team of talented folks who make up my team – and I’m excited to see all of them this week when we have an “all hands” meeting in the office. I have little gifts for each of my team members – and I’ve made adorable tags to got with each gift. Here’s a look at one of the tags:
Rather than just make a cute tag, I decided to personalize each tag with the recipient’s name – who doesn’t love to see their name spelled out on a tag or card?! The names were easy to crop out with scraps of Pretty Peacock cardstock and the Mini Alphabet Dies. Here’s a look at these incredible dies:
But that wasn’t all – I also showcased the names on TWO Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Papers – the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper and Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper. Each of these papers can be selected for free with a $50 order through February 29 (that’s THIS THURSDAY!).
The 1″ strip of grid pattern, pulled from the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper, is a perfect design for accountants – and it gave me a easy way to line up the letters on the tags. Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper:
I added two strips of Pool Party, both from the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper, to accent the name panels. Both strips are 1/4″ wider than the strip from the name panel – and the Pool Party bands are 1″ and 1-1/4″ longer than the name panels.
Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper:
I added Pool Party reinforcements for the punched holes (cropped with the Tailor Made Tags Dies) and tied the tags with Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon and gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim pack. I added three gold pearls from the Festive Pearls to add a third element of gold. Links to all of these items are provided below.
For good measure, here’s a look at all of the tags I created for my coworkers:
Papers: Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper, Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper, Pretty Peacock, Pool Party Accessories: Mini Alphabet Dies, Tailor Made Tags Dies, Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon, Simply Elegant Trim, Festive Pearls
