Here is the super easiest way to tackle Christmas gift tags/cards.
For me, I always plan amazing Christmas wrapping in my head. Like, presents worthy of the front cover of the Martha Stewart magazine. And then...
Before I know it, it is Christmas Eve, and my goal shifts from Martha Stewart-worthy wrapping to just getting something on those suckers. Anything to cover them up.
This year, I'm determined to have sweetly wrapped gifts. And cards for each.
Here are gift cards to go with your pressies. And it only took about 20 minutes to make 6.
Beat that, Martha;).
I took an Echo Park 12x12 tag sheet and cut straight down the center and across the two horizontal lines. This gives me 6 foldable cards, already decorated on both sides:).
Fold in half.
Decorate with cute Christmas scraps.
I used mostly October Afternoon pretties.
Also, a ton of glitter:).
Admire your cute gift cards.
And if you have 5 extra minutes, use some washi tape and flatbacks to make some pre-bought envelopes match:).
Now I have a head start on 6 gifts.
And they look a little more personal and pretty with the handmade cards.
Happy wrapping, friends!

Perfect. I too, love handmade gift tags. I do it every year. The boys just throw them away and my sweet gianna saves every one lol.
ReplyDeleteThose came out awesome.
ReplyDeleteLol! Totally got the giggles reading your first three paragraphs! Like you, I'm a member of that "Inspire to Create a Norman Rockwell/Martha Stewart Christmas Club" and most years, I'm lucky if all the presents get wrapped (if time really gets short, I start shoving the gifts in bags). Thank you for sharing your story and project!

I love this idea. I have a page very similar to this one that I couldn't decide what to use it for. Now I have a plan!
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea..considering that I handmade my Christmas cards two months ago...but as always....I need some extra for new co-workers and last minute invitations that weren't on my initial list. Thank you for sharing...now on to do some cards :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a young girl my best friend and I would buy each other the same gifts, because we always wanted the same thing. Then we'd go home and wrap them for each other in the most elaborate ways. The fun for us was to see how creative our wrapping was. Now, I slap the paper on and pop on a bow. I don't know her any more, we were 9 to 14 years old then my family moved away. I'm 50 years old now and I wonder if she ever thinks of those times. Your post made me think of her. Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteamazing idea!!!

Haha!! My decorating is the same way... in my head, I have a fabulous, gorgeously decorated home, but in reality, it is what it is!! Not that it's not pretty, just not quite "magazine worthy!" LOL!! Your cards are wonderful and how cool that you are now 6 ahead of the game!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Teri
Super quick and super cute!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea! I love how quick and cute they are!
ReplyDeleteI love this! It's lovely, simple, and makes the receiver's heart go pitter-patter. In a week I will be struggling to overcome a post-semester hangover as a result of newly-idle hands. I always make ornaments for family and friends...and this is going on my list. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is WONDERFUL!!!
