Holiday Tags with secret pockets!

Always such a pleasure to get to work with Graphic 45 papers, something about Petaloo and G45 are just divine for holiday crafting. I have created for you my Secret Pocket Tag. This tag can go on a bottle of wine or other gift and you can slip a gift card or cash or anything else in the little pocket. I'll show you how:

First, cut out your Graphic 45 paper about 1/2 inch bigger than your starter tag all around- you don't have to be exact!

Next place your tag in the center and fold up each edge. Make sure the side you want will be showing from the front. I also snip the corners just to make it look a little cleaner. 

Take your tag out and open up the folds- with a knife simply cut a slot from one fold to the other, as high or as low as you like

Then put the card back inside, fold again then use a bead of Hot Glue or tacky glue (tape runner not recommended) around all the edges to secure, and now you have a cool little pocket to stash whatever you like in!

Decorate as you like but a tip is to put whatever you are going to put into the secret pocket first so you can decorate accordingly. 

I love these Velvet Flowers! Tip: After you arrange your flowers, make sure you glue down the bottoms ones first (like the petals) then layer up! Also just use a dab of hot glue in the center back of each flower, then you can pull up and layer the petals as needed

I broke up a bunch of Petaloo Glitter Star picks and inserted them through my Chantilly Velvet Hydrangeas

When I make Modern style designs, I always like to add a vintage touch, but it works in the reverse too. I added the modern little striped paperclip and it really goes great with the tag and holds the gift card in place.-Denise

These are really a great idea! I will have to try this with the next birthday where I give cash as a gift (nephew). We have a rule in our family: no gift cards or cash for Christmas. We have to put thought & effort into the gift giving. But birthday's are a different story! :-)
