Birthday Cake Shaped Gift Tag ~ MCT Anything Goes

Hello, Gaylynn here with a cake shaped birthday gift tag or wine tag for the My Creative Time Anything Goes inspiration projects.


Sentiment:  Happy birthday to you.

Here is a festive shaped gift tag, decorated and ready to attach to a gift.  The cake die set makes it easy to add decorative paper accents and provides space for a sentiment.  I used My Mind's Eye paper for accents.  To make it a tag, I added a hole punch on the edge with ribbon.


Here is another look with the tag on a gift bag.


Be sure to stop by Miss Emma's My Creative Time blog for more Anything Goes project inspiration.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sweet support or sympathy card and tutorial.

Sometimes it is hard to find words for loss, support or encouragement.  This is a sweet card to show that you care.


Sentiment:  I am here for you.

This sweet girl is by Phyllis Harris and she is colored with Copic markers and then die-cut.  The background was made from using a die-cut as a stencil.  It is super easy to do and stretches your dies for a different look.
