I ordered lovely olive wool felt online, and it is too thick to cut with Papertrey or Spellbinders' dies - only the Sizzix steel dies will work on this super thick stuff. If you have Sizzix dies you know you can cut like four layers of cardstock - bam! This felt is so thick only one layer at a time will work. I think it was meant for felting...which I have not tried but probably will sometime in the future!
So I die cut some trees with an older Sizzix primitive tree die I had on hand, and made some holiday tags a la Dawn McVey. Two each of four styles are housed in a clever box. 'to' and 'from' is stamped on the obverse of each tag.
Stamps and dies (Sizzix primitive tree the exception) are Papertrey Ink; snowflake is a Martha Stewart punch.
The clever box is from Nashville Wraps - Gourmet Window Totes. The box size is 5-1/8" x 4-1/4" x 2-5/8" with velcro closures (see two photos up). Thanks for stopping by today!
Love those tags. The ornament is my favorite. Those little totes are perfect to house the tags. Happy Wednesday.

beautiful tags and bag! The felt trees are cute too. I havent die cut any felt myself but was wondering if all wool felt was easy to cut with dies. I know PTI sells them, but I was also looking on Heather Bailey's shop to see what colors they had but wasnt sure if they were comparable to PTIs to be able to cut easily. I guess with any wool felt you would have to play around and see what works best. TFS
