Making Tags for a Valentine's Day Treat Box

Video Transcript

"Alright, now we have our random stamping done, red on red on our treat box, and we've done the stamping on the white piece of paper that says love. The next stamping that we need to do is for this little tag. I have the words, again, love since it's Valentine's Day. I'm going to stamp it on my scrap piece of white paper there, and then I'm going to go ahead and punch it out. When you're using the punches, you always want to stamp your item first and then punch. That way you can center your stamp in the punch. Just slide it in like this, center it, and punch it out. Then for the background, I need a scrap piece of red. Again, I'm just taking my red paper here. This stamp is the same exact punch. It's just a 1/4 inch bigger. When I get ready to layer it, it'll layer really nicely. All I need to do is take a little bit of my adhesive, place it onto the outer, the larger of the 2 triangle squares there, and you have your punch. The next thing we need to add of course, is the brad and the ribbon. To do that, I have a 1/16 inch punch. I'm just going to go ahead and place a little hole right at the top of that tag. I have a red brad, being Valentine's day, we're keeping with that red theme. I'm going to take a little piece of red and white checked ribbon. You only need about inch or inch and a half of that. Again, I'm going to take my 1/16 inch punch and place a hole in the ribbon. I've got the ribbon doubled over, and I'm just sliding it down and punching. I'll attach the brad right through that ribbon. If it doesn't go the first time, it'll get there the second time. There we go. Place this brad in through the hole, hold the back prongs back, trim my ribbon edges so they look sharp. Sometimes it's easier to set it down. There you have your tag. Now we're ready to move onto the next step. "
