Thank You 'Omiyage' Tags

As most Hawaii locals know, when you go on a trip, you bring back gifts, omiyage (o-me-ya-gay)(Japanese pronunciation) for others.  My neighbors who take care of our mail/newspapers and our friends who care for our pets in our absence truly deserve 'omiyage' for all their help.  To dress up the gifts and include a message of thanks I made gift tags using a Fumi and Yumi new 'peek-a-boo' series stamp.  The character in the cute stamp has a turtle on her head which made it perfect for the tag as our pets are turtles. The tag shape was achieved with a Spellbinder frame die set (sold at Ben Franklin Crafts).  The stamped words are from a Hero Arts clear stamp set.  For the background I used the die to cut some of the crinkle origami paper I purchased in Japan.

  Would you like some paper to play with?  To win, be the first Ben Franklin Craft Club member to comment on this post and I will mail you the packet shown in the photo above.
