Tiny Tags

ETA: Sorry Ladies! For some reason, my blog scheduling didn't work at midnight. Here it is now. 

Busy, busy, busy little bees we all are this month over at Papertrey. The 14th is the day we post our last projects and take a breather after a week or so of creative work. Myself, personally, would like to sit back with my favorite wine (Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling) and toast to a job well done. But, you know, there's that whole being a good parent thing. Might have to take precedence. HA! Well, I can dream about it, can't I?





Speaking of wine, my project tonight revolves around a little gift for our oenophile friends.  (For the record, I had to look that big word up). I know when I have family parties we all spend the evening asking each other, "Is this your glass or mine"? Putting an end to that with the Tiny Tags set. You might see paper crafting delight, I see a bottomless jar of wine charms. Worth the price right there.




I used the Lunch Box Note die to create my little holder. You can find the wine charm rings at your local craft store or online for pretty cheap. Or maybe make your own? Just wire after all. Sewed the charms into a length of Aqua Mist Satin Ribbon and wrapped that around my note. Topped with a Doilie Details cut and a new Angled Label.  For the tags themselves, the stamped images are the perfect place to write somebody's name.




After the night is over, just toss the tags in the trash. You'll have plenty of extras in the cute jar filled to the brim with them. The Tiny Tags die cuts ten tags at a time, so you can make short work of filling this up. I like the extra special touch of cutting them out of patterned paper. Just stamp on the white (plain) side.



Use the new Label Basics and Papertrey adhesive label sheets to make labels for the jar. Looks like something you might find at Williams-Sonoma, doesn't it?  Nobody needs to know it's a $1 jar from Joann's and some left over scrap patterned paper.


 That's it for me. Stop by on the 15th to see the rest of my projects this month. I've got something fun up my sleeve concerning Impression Plates. Made a bit of a discovery and I can't wait to share. And don't forget to check out the rest of the Tiny Tags projects from the girls. They always amaze me!

  1. Your project is perfect! It was the first thing I thought of when I saw how small the tags were...and how easily you can die cut out a whole bunch. I will definitely be ordering this tonight...

  3. Erin, what a wonderful ensemble! I love the idea for host/hostess gifts and such. You're extremely clever, creative, and inspirational all rolled into one! :)

    Oh... and just an FYI: Some of your readers aren't ladies. ;)

  4. Not much a wine drinker either, but those tags are adorable. We do drink our tea out of water goblets and those tags would be great for our get togethers since we, too, are constantly asking "is this your glass?"

  10. I tried to find your post around 12:30 am and decided that true to the name of your blog, Procrastination Station, you had been delayed in getting it posted. I'm glad I remembered to come back because I love your idea, and appreciate your tips of using the patterned paper, and filling the jar with the tags so you don't run out during your party. Nice creative idea!
