Hi, crafty friends. I shared this gift tag on the Kort & Godt galleri blog last week, but decided to share it here, as well.

Die 302 Julestjerne creates an awesome poinsettia. I’m not usually one to use flowers on anything holiday related, but this die set has won me over. There’s three dies in the set – one creates a leaf (which I didn’t use on this tag), and then there are two dies that creates two sizes of petals for the actual flower. If you cut both twice you get a nice looking poinsettia. I cut both four times for this very full poinsettia. I used patterned paper from Craft Consortium, and there’s instant variety to the petals, I love it. The dies create indentations for the veiny lines, which I quickly enhanced with a Zig clean color real brush marker in a color that matched (230 Pale Rose).

I added the flower to a tag I created from cream cardstock. I used Die 211 to create the tag, and stamped a sentiment from M-466 using Scarlet Jewel ink from Papertrey Ink. I adhered snowflakes from ST105 and ST102, before adding a white gem from ST208 to the center of each. I tied string through the loop at the top of the tag and added a KN567 button to the center of the flower, tying a bow behind the button using the same string that I used for the top of the tag (TR-104).
