Christmas Tags From The Christmas Tags And More DSP!

Well, I obviously had a memory lapse yesterday because I took the time to type up my post then totally forgot to schedule the publishing! So if you receive TWO posts from me today – one of which sounds like old news – you will know way!

Sometimes it’s fun to just bring out a few things for crafting, and no need for a die cut machine and intricate dies. Just a gathering of simple products for a laid back crafting session – and friends, drinks, and snacks make it all the better.

On our group FB LIVE last night, I gathered several new products from our Holiday catalog that went live on Wednesday, text Pam to tell her we were crafting on the fly so no need to prepare, just come and craft. I was using this package of paper last week for a quick Christmas gift card holder and realized what a hidden gem it was. Cut coordinating paper, preprinted tags to simply cut apart, and several sheets of different punch outs (that really feel more like fall outs because they are so easy to remove) that can all be used for some fast, festive gift tags!

I added the Greetings For You mix and match ephemera pack to reduce the need for multiple stamps and inks. I added a few things from my own supply – Real Red, Basic White, and Garden Green cardstock – along with adhesives, a “To” and “From” stamp, and one ink pad. Also in the pile is a hole punch, some rhinestone gems, and baker’s twine.

These tags needn’t be detailed and works of art, people! What’s important is who is the receiver and who is the gifter. Most tags never are recycled either! It’s just a fun, relaxing way to craft for a change of pace! And let’s face it, we all need times such as that in our lives. Pam and I had a blast creating and sharing these with our friends, and I know your friends would enjoy them too.
