Acorn Girl Gift Tag

The new SVG cutting file release this week from Sanqunetti Design is this cute Acorn Girl file.

I made her into a simple shaped gift tag by welding a washer shape to the base piece. This was then tied to the little parcel with baker's twine with some Echo Park skeleton leaves from the Silhouette Design Store.

The tag was paper-pieced, and for speed and economy the tag and leaves were made using the Silhouette's Print & Cut feature on printable white card. The shapes shown in the picture below look quite thick, that's because they have an extra margin of colour (a gutter) around them, to ensure there are no white lines.

I also made my own wrapping paper for this gift using a seamless pattern and the colour changing options in the Silhouette's Image Effects panel. I was able to change the pattern from black to beige by playing with the Tint sliders.

I was pleased with how pretty the finished gift wrapping looked - great for fall birthdays or little thanksgiving or hostess gifts.

The file is available from Sanqunetti Design store.  Use my discount code 'JANET15' to received a 15% discount on this and other files in Judy's stores (can only be used when items are at full price).

I love finding ways to make gifts even prettier, don't you?
