Fudgy Snowman Tag!
I’ve been looking for the perfect way to use this adorable snowman stamp … and I saw these tins of fudge at the grocery store .. I knew exactly what I was going to do! I just love it when an idea “happens” spontaneously! My goal was to create a simple & quick stamped gift tag … perfect for those who drop by during the Christmas season, for sweet teacher gifts, co-worker pick-me-ups, and lots of other quick ideas!
My talented friend, Michelle Wooderson, is the first person that I recall using this SU Word Window Punch in creative ways beyond the obvious “word window”. I love to use it as a ‘connection’ between ribbons and tags. Truth is, I rarely use it as a mere “window”. I prefer to use it in other ways, such as this. In this case, I folded the punched piece in half, added 2-way glue to one half, then dipped it in the pot of Dazzling Diamonds glitter, which equates to instant bling!

Next, I punched a 1/16″ hole in the folded piece. After a short drying period, I slipped that piece around some of the ribbon/cord elements, inserted the primary tag, and secured it all with a glittered silver brad! Hopefully, my pictures will help you to use your Word Window Punch in similar ways.

Love it… I’ve never thought to use the WWP as a tag holder… very cleaver.
Oh, this is wonderful, Bev! Absolutely adorable!! I love the idea of handing out little gifts to folks who stop by over the holiday season. It sounds like fun to keep a basket by the door filled with miscellaneous treats like this. Oh, my gosh! I want to do it right now!! I have a cupboard full of tins…all I have to do is decorate and fill them. Oh, what fun! You’re a fabulous inspiration! Thank you!!
