Penguin Tags

December 24, 2010

For our gifts to kids, I decided to make some tags that were a little more fun.


Penguins!

Noel Tags

I had forgotten to post these tags.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know if I made one last design to go with these ones and just forgot to take pictures of them.

Anyway, here are some lighter, less traditionally coloured tags:

Merrymint Tags

November 1, 2010

These tags are made using American Craft's Merrymint collection that I bought last year. In fact, I liked it so much, I bought two packs. But what's a girl to do with two packs of Christmas paper?

The more I looked at it, the more I realized there were pattern papers I had no clue what to do with.

So I started easy. Chose simple patterns that I knew how to work with.


I really loved using Stampin' Up!'s markers to colour in different parts of the stamp. It was time consuming but I think the finished look makes it worth the effort.


There's still a lot of busier designs I haven't used but I'll tackle those with another project, hopefully soon.

Christmas Tags

October 21, 2010

Ever since my last Stampin' Up! order came in, I was meaning to make some Christmas tags. I know it's still a couple months away, but Christmas is going to be bittersweet for us this year. So I'm taking every opportunity to make it last longer than it possibly can, starting off with Christmas shopping and Christmas crafting!

Apparently, when it comes to projects like this, what I really need is a kick in the bum. Last year, I got my Christmas cards started early because I was helping out with my sister's Advent Conspiracy project.

This year, my friend called on me to help her make some gift tags. She will be using them to help the youth group at our church fundraise money so they can each fill a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child without emptying their own wallets too much.

Of course, since I told someone else I'd get it done, I had to get them done! So here's a couple ideas for you early birds out there.





Christmas Gift Tags

December 5, 2009

I got up bright and early to sign my son up for swimming lessons this morning, and instead of going back to bed (although I was really wanting to), I got started on making some Christmas things.


I've really put Christmas gifts and cards off this year. I'm not sure why.. I just wasn't motivated to get them done. But after seeing all sorts of Christmas cards floating around some craft sites, I was itching to get started. Especially after last night, when my friend invited me to help out with some youth girls in making Christmas cards.


So I got to work. I used a stamp I bought this past Black Friday. It was cheap, and large enough for a cute tag.


On the back, I used a SU! stamp set (A Holly Jolly Christmas, #111558) and I'll fill in the blanks later with a white gel pen.

These were quite fun (and easy) to make. I'm putting these on our Secret Santa gifts this year.
