Festival of Christmas - Gift cards or tags

Hello again! Welcome to another Crafty Festival Of Christmas blog hop. A refresher … I am making and sharing holiday projects every Friday until Christmas in an event my friends and I are calling the ‘CRAFTY Festival of Christmas’. Every week we will feature a different theme.

Check out our previous hops:

1. Snarky or Snowy cards

2. Fancy fold or Mass production projects

3. This week our theme is Gift card holders or tags

I' love decorating gifts and this year and I tagging all those gifts with a little ornament. I like how it pushes the gift a little bit farther.

My mantra this season: Simple, Simple, SIMPLE! Simple is key. It doesn’t take much to add a little handmade flair to those gifts. My Christmas crafting in general is very simple because it is such a busy time of year.

These candy cane ornaments have been dressed up with a few stamped images from the Winter Gifts stamp set and sparkly enamel dots. Easy peasy!

This next set of simple tags incorporates a few craft store goodies (tiny ornaments and plastic fir sprigs). These have been hot glued onto super thick white card stock. The card stock has been punched into a tag shape and stamped with a simple ”to: from:” sentiment. I made a dozen or so of these and have them at the ready to attached to any gift. The generic color scheme makes this easy to coordinate.

I also made a few more gift card holders. Again, simple is key. These gift card holders are folded from wood paper and have a tiny bottle brush tree tied to the plaid belly band. The belly band slides on and off the gift card holder easily.

The gift card holder paper measurement is 3” x 6”. I have scored at 1.75” and 4.25”. These are roll folded. Then, with a hobby blade, I added a few slots on the interior to hold the gift card.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week! The full blog link up can be found below.

Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Winter Gifts (Alternate projects)

Hello and welcome the the Paper Pumpkin Thing monthly blog hop where we share alternate products for the kits contents. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called ‘Winter Gifts’.

This kit is jammed packed! It includes all the supplies to make multiples of four unique tag designs. I made a boat load of tags and even squeezed in a couple of cards.

If tags are not your thing you can easily turn each tag into a card. Simply assemble the tag as directed, make the verse card friendly and attach to a card front. Easy peasy!

There are so many little bits in this kit you can embellish to your hearts content.
