Christmas in July part 2

Tags are another fun thing you can make to include on your gifts, or add to the "can" that you have made in matching colors and embellishments.  Tags are not hard to create with a basic template, or check around for premade tags that you can add paper and embellishments to in order to create your own "look".  


Start to look at the gifts you need to buy, instead of buying the little "from/to" tags!  Create them out of leftover wrapping paper for either the background or the embellishment.  Cut out a shape from the paper and matt it on cardstock to create a one of a kind look, made especially for THAT person! 

Tags are fun to make, look at the scraps you have, this is what I made mine out of...using up little pieces and leftovers, in the colors that are prominent for Christmas time.  I also found blues and greens, which I totally loved using!   This is just a quick and easy project you can make, creating 6 or so at a time when you have a few minutes. 

I also use scraps for my Christmas cards, and cute little charms and things to make the card a bit more "special" than I normally would.  You can also make your cards totally alike, or make a series of 12, maybe in the same color choices, or different colors and embellishments.   Look at what YOU want to do for your own friends and family, so that things are made EARLIER, than on the exact day.  This card is a one of a kind, using a Stampin Up stamp, and one of a kind charms for the title.  I also used scraps of paper to complete the look. 

Thank you for visiting, I am enjoying this "Christmas in July", I hope you are too!  If you would like to see something specific, please leave comments!
