Pebbles Inc. Home For Christmas Ornament Gift Tags

Today I have some holiday tags to share that I created for Pebbles blog using some more of their darling Home For Christmas collection.

I designed these gift tags to pull double duty as Christmas ornaments.  To do this I added layers of chipboard between my two die-cut sheets of patterned paper to make them a bit sturdier and then had myself a party decorating them.

I had so much fun mixing the various patterns and singling out different color combos from the collection!  

For the tags that have stitching on them, I chose to embellish them before adhering all the inside layers together.

Holiday photos and date stamps help make these ornament tags a sweet keepsake for years to come.

My plan is to add these to the top of a fresh-baked goodies for your neighbors, teachers and friends. I hope I've inspired you to make some ornament tags of your own--I think they would also be a fun activity to do with your kids!  :)

Handmade Holiday Photo Christmas Cards

As promised I'm back today with some ideas for creating your own handmade photo cards.  :)

I created this simple photo card by cutting out various shaped snowflakes on my Silhouette to form a border and then added matching jewels and a little colorful washi tape to the top of my photo.  To create my custom sentiment, I printed my words in a text bow to get the white on black look using the Lavanderia Font.

My next card features a row of frames made to mimic the look of pictures hanging on a wall. I cut my wood patterned paper into 1/4" strips to form mats around my 2" square photos.

My last card is Santa inspired using two cutting files by Lori Whitlock found HERE and HERE.  I altered them a bit to get the look I was going for.  I finished off the white portion of my card going over it with Frosted Lace Stickles to give it a bit of sparkle.  My sentiment was heat embossed using a Papertrey Ink stamp.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a sweet weekend.  :)

Doodlebug Kraft, Red & Gold Christmas Cards

Hello there!  I'm back today with another set of holiday cards using every day supplies you might already have in your stash with a focus on the colors red, kraft & gold.

My first card is a twist on a previous card I created last year (shared HERE).  I love the idea of using basic circle punches and some twine to make simple hanging ornaments.  I backed the negative space with Doodlebug's Gold Chevron Sugar Coated Cardstock and finished off my card with a heat embossed sentiment by Technique Tuesday.

My next card combines rustic with glam using Doodlebug's basic red doilies and sequins with a strip of their Kraft in Color patterned paper and a jute bow.  For my sentiment I heated embossed Papertrey Ink's Think Big Favorites #9 set using gold embossing powder.

My last project is a little tag using stamps and dies by Papertrey Ink.  I'm always a sucker for dogs in sweaters.  ;)

I hope I've inspired you to look at your every day supplies in a new way.  I'll be back on Saturday sharing some handmade photo card ideas.  Thanks for hanging with me.  :)
