Hello and Happy Sunday! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing Christmas gift tag ideas. I decided to make little 3"x 3" note cards that could hang on a gift bag or bottle of wine (see those ideas shown at the bottom of this post). I just love this Beary Christmas suite in the Holiday catalog and am so sad it is retiring at the end of the month! Do you remember the Coca-Cola polar bear commercials from a few years back? That is what these bears remind me of when I look at them... so cute! Read on for more details about my project today...
Today's gift tags feature the Beary Christmas DSP along with the coordinating Beary Cute stamp set and matching Bear punch. These products are on the Last Chance list and will be gone soon, so if you have your eye on them place an order soon! Placing an online order is best so you can see what is available and you don't have to wait on me. Please be sure to use the Host code URCUVRTP* with your online order through the end of December (unless your order is $150+ which earns Stampin' Rewards). To check out the products available, please hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store.
These two gift tags feature a Real Red card stock base (6" x 3" scored at 3") with a 2-3/4" square mat cut from Very Vanilla card stock and a 2-1/2" square panel cut from Balmy Blue card stock. I pulled the colors from the DSP, which always makes it easy! These particular images were on the bottom of a sheet of the DSP and were cut off... I fussy cut them and added them to the card fronts and you can't even tell they aren't a whole image. So when you have DSP with great images like these, don't hesitate to use the partial images too! I added a sentiment strip to each (Merry Christmas is from the Beary Cute set) inked with Real Red and stamped on Very Vanilla card stock. The snowflakes on the left tag are also in this stamp set and inked with Balmy Blue ink.
For these two cards, I used Mossy Meadow card stock for my base cards. The inside of all four is a piece of Very Vanilla card stock cut the same size as the mat on the front (2-3/4" square). I don't know if you can see it, but these bears were soooo easy to cut out because the Bear punch matches perfectly with the images!! How awesome is that?!
And here are some examples of how you can use these little gift tags - the top is simply tied onto a gift bag and the second shows where you can tie these onto the neck of a bottle of wine. For even more gift tag ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Thanks for visiting and have an awesome week!!
