Christmas Gift Tags

Anyone else enjoying our little bit of winter?  I am.  And I even shoveled the snow!  I'm certain that 'novelty' will wear off quickly. 😆

Yup....it wore off. LOL!  Today, I have a few simple, yet elegant gift tags to show you.  


I first cut Whisper White Note Cards in half, then used my Cable Knit TIEF to emboss the fronts of each.  With that bit of embossing, these gift tags were gorgeous, but I wanted to step them up a bit.


How cute is this?!  I used Christmas Stockings Thinlits to die cut Whisper White & Cherry Cobbler card stock. 


A big big fave of mine -  the Card Front Builder Thinlit Dies. For the trees, 
I used Night of Navy card stock and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.  


Do you love this font as much as me?!  It's from Watercolour Christmas.  
I couldn't resist adding a bit of  Be Merry DSP for a splash of colour and a sprig of greenery for whimsy!  

Did you notice the rounded corners on the tags?  
I used my Envelope Punch Board! Cool, eh!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Crafting!

Free Shipping & A Christmas Gift Box

So much awesomeness last week!! Our team Christmas party was on Thursday, which just happened to be my birthday! Amazing meal and great company!  Plus, we got our hands on a copy of the new Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogues - stay tuned for a sneak peak this week!  And lastly, my daughter and her fiance invited me for a wonderful home cooked meal and a visit to the Christkindl Market in Kitchener.  My heart is full of joy!

With a wee sprinkling of snow on the ground and Christmas just a few weeks away, it's time to get treat box favours made.  So far, I have one completed. 😃


I've made my own envelopes using my Envelope Punch Board from Stampin' Up!, but this is the first time I've made an Christmas gift box.  It was super easy! 

I used Year of Cheer DSP, cut a Foil Snowflake in half, and wrapped the box in Mini Tinsel Trim - all from the Holiday Catalogue and available until Jan 2/18.

The adorable reindeer from the Cookie Cutter Christmas set was stamped in Smoky Slate, then punched with the Cookie Cutter Builder punch.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is from At Home with You (pssst - awesome set), and punched using the Classic Label punch. Oh, and the nose is a dark red pom pom, not from Stampin' Up!

Are you ready for an early Christmas present?
