Gift For the Holidays

Ciao Bella,

        I know I said last week was my last week at the Hinesville Farmer's Market, and it was suppose to be…. However I was invited back to the Official Final Market today…and Good News… they are continuing the Farmer's Market through November!!!!! Thank You Hinesville for supporting me and our other local businesses…..

Ok on to today's Project Featuring the Jolly Bingo Stamp Set…..

This is a super fast project…Just incase you didn't notice … I don't do anything that isn't fast,easy and fun …and to let you in on another secret about me …I get bored easily…so for me to anything for a craft fair or in large quantities …very difficult….but these Babies right here … Super fast…easy…fun …and I seem to be able to just keep making them and making them ….which means…YOU can make these too!  

The Real Red one , I used the Jolly Bingo Stamp Set for the images on the tealights and the ornament stamp from the Perfect Tags Stamp set.  And though it is really hard to see there is a rhinestone jewel in the middle of the tag…just for a little bling…..

For this set I used Marina Mist as my base color with the Jolly Bingo Bits stamp Set… and the Snowman Tag from the Perfect Punches Stamp set…and then layered the tag on a scalloped punched piece of Marina Mist Card Stock , wrapped with a very generous piece of ribbon …..

I bet you are wondering why I always use such a generous amount of ribbon on my finished projects… I love ribbon and I like the receiver of the gifts to have enough ribbon to reuse it on their projects…so it's like an extra gift……and I always love presents …..

And just for fun …we made this little gift card and tag all in one…

All the projects were super simple and allowed for plenty of chatting….

Tags Till Christmas

Ciao Bella,

                   I am still busy busy these days getting ready for next months craft shows…this weekend I worked on Gift Tags…but before I share.. I need to share a little secret with you first…In my house we don't use gift tags….oh no the world just might end…I know…years ago when my kids were little, there was all that "some assembly required" stuff, and then when they were older we lived overseas …and I learned that tags and bows don't mail well… So In my house, I buy each person there own special gift wrap…..and yes Including one for me so my Dear Husband and Kids just have to ask "Mom where's YOUR wrapping paper"….and then when all is said and done … all the pretty wrapping either goes into the trash or the fire place…and the thought of my home made tags…going there… is very hard for me…so in my house…that doesn't happen …

Ok …. But for the rest of the world Christmas Gift Tags, are a necessity…and I'm ok that…so let me share with you some gift tags, I made for the craft Fairs ….

Aren't they cute, and SOOOO SOOOO simple ….I used the Tags Till Christmas stamp Set ( 121169) pg. 24 in the Holiday Mini Catalog… And all the stamps in that have a coordinating punch to go with it …it makes it easy to have perfect tags every time… My new favorite punch is the Decorative Label (120907) Extra Large Punch, pg. 24 in the Holiday Mini Catalog….

I'm still working on a super cute way to package these… and I think I found one, however I'm going to reveal that in a tutorial During My 12 weeks of Christmas Special… During this Special ONLY my Newsletter Subscribers will receive a Special Gift email from me containing projects, tutorials and other surprises… This 12 weeks of Christmas will start on October 4th…If you are not a newsletter subscriber, sign up today to you can get your 12 Weeks of Christmas…
