I’m a little persnickety about my holiday wrapping and am always looking for something different. You know, just the right balance of wow-look-at-that! and ooo-that’s-cool! When these gift tags from Willoughby Design came in, it was love at first sight.
Gold foil stamping on three wonderfully unusual colors of French Paper made this thoughtful idea a standout. Each 5 x 9 sheet is a greeting card from the design studio and has four diecut ornament-shaped gift tags. Recipients simply punch out the tag and insert the white twine laced with gold thread into the little diecut holes. The twine is conveniently wound around the bottom of the sheets.
The illustrations are definitely the irresistible element here. The fonts are perfect for each shape, and the detailing is joyful. Rather than looking like four disparate tags stuck on a card, the team took the time to create a design that was cohesive – the diecut tags hang from the bough.
