A sweet little barn-box, filled with 8 farm-fresh, 100% certified pure country tags :)
I used the PTI shape up series: barn die to create my box. First, I die-cut a barn shape and stamped it with the barn-board image from "background basics: farm & barn." I think I squealed in delight after that step :) I die-cut the barn again in black cardstock and used that to fussy-cut the strip for the roof-top, added a white framing around the doors, and sewed the barnyard "X" onto each door.
To create my little box, I die-cut another barn and used the 2 pieces to sandwich a simple box shape. (To make the box between the barns, I cut a sheet of red cardstock down to 5 inches by 8 inches. On the 5 inch side, I scored at 1" and again at 4". On the 8 inch side, I scored at 3.5" and again at 4.5".)
Well hello there, little chicken!
Inside the barn, I tucked 8 gift tags in 4 different designs, held together by the red-checked border at the bottom, the kraft-y colored sunburst, and the black-inked sentiments & farm images.
Oh, and thank you Ikea, for providing the plush farm animals, perfect for my little photoshoot. And thank you Maia, for letting me borrow them for 5 minutes... albeit begrudgingly...
