# 139602 – THIRTY TAGS – for just $14.70!

I made quite a few of these gift tag holders, and I used a couple of variations. They were quick, easy, and I loved the presentation. (Have you noticed how often I highlight projects that are quick and easy?)

This was another variation – kind of a “same song, second verse” edition.

Inside there was a little bit of Designer Series paper (a great way to use up those odd scraps) and a pocket for the gift card. Some of the cards I purchased came with a small envelope, and it fit nicely inside the pocket too.

Change the paper and make gift card holders for birthdays, Valentines, Easter…or just because. Enjoy the options!
It wouldn’t be Tuesday without Weekly Deals from Stampin’ Up!

There are still lots of great deals on the Year-End Sale page as well – I just ordered a few more Oh What Fun tag kits (#139602, on sale for $14.70). I have used them on absolutely everything this season and they take simple wrapping to WOW in a flash!
I also have some cute packaging to share, done by the oh-so-talented Robbie. She is the Gift Queen every year for our Stampin’ Holiday Party, and this year was no exception. She used the Mini Treat Bag thinlits to make these:

The antlers!!! I love them – they’re from the Tree Builder Punch and they are perfect with the googlie eyes (any excuse to use googlie eyes is a valid excuse in my book.)

Is there an elegant someone on your list? This combination is very classy – the beautiful Winter Wonderland paper is retiring and is on sale (#139588, $10.40)

Last but certainly not least, Robbie made bags with the gorgeous red foil and used glimmer paper for accents. The Black Glimmer paper is on sale (#139605 for $3.50) and it’s retiring too.

Lots of great goodies, but do yourself a favor – with the holidays looming in the (not so far) distance, pick up the Envelope Punch Board or the Gift Box Punch Board – or just break down and get them both. I can’t tell you how often those two have saved my sanity at the last minute. You’d be amazed at the impact you’ll get with a box created with Designer Series Paper! Shop HERE.
