Our December Kit and add-ons come with so many tags and die-cuts that are perfect for gift-giving, and today Jess Forster is giving us permission to simplify our expectations and use what we have on hand to create lovely layered gift tags which are perfect for creating now so that you’re not scrambling on Christmas morning! Let’s take a look:
When it comes to holidays, I spend a lot of time focusing on what gifts I am going to give my friends and family. Sometimes all of my attention goes into buying presents that I completely forget about the tags for the gifts! Christmas fail! It’s taken me a few years to realize, but I have a scrap room full of amazing themed supplies that are perfect for this holiday dilemma. Have a look!
Supplies | December 2018 Kit, Jane Alphabet Stamps — Red, Wood Veneer Snowflakes, Large Acrylic Gold Stars
This month, I noticed that I had various Christmas themed supplies left over from the December 2018 Kit including: 3″ x 4″ journaling tags, the die cuts and those awesome Wood Veneer Snowflakes and Large Acrylic Gold Stars.
I spent a few minutes layering die cuts and the snowflakes on top of each of the journaling tags as well as using bakers twine to attach the tags. No new techniques involved here—I was just happy to play for a few minutes after my kiddos went to bed one night last week. Here I made three tags, one to decorate the outside of an envelope; one attached to a present and one attached to a gift bag. So fun!
It so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season its important to practice a little crafty self care! Try making a tag or two for your presents! Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays!
