It's Christmas in February

For some unknown reason I decided to work with a Christmas file this week, maybe because I really like this file.

 

You get 3 large and 2 small images of each saying for a total of 10 images on the page and you can print up as many as you need. These make really cute Christmas cards, I think that using them for a Christmas banner would also be really cute. I decided to make up a few Christmas cards so that I'll be ahead of the game this year.

 

I used 8 1/2" x 11 Kraft paper, getting 2 cards out of each sheet of paper.

You can't see it very well in the pictures but I added some gold Craft Twinkles to the stars before adhering them to the cards. The Craft Twinkles show up a lot better in person and add a bit of sparkle to the cards.



On the inside I used the smaller images...using the other sentiment on the inside...The "Merry Christmas" on the outside, "Merry and Bright" on the inside.

I also chomped my corners and added some pearls to the outside.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.

Last Minute Quicky Tags

Merry Christmas, I hope that everyone is having a magical day. If you should find yourself in need of some gift tags these are so fast and easy they take barley any time at all.

 

You get 4 different hang tags, 2 of each one for a total of 8 hang tags.

 

 

I backed the entire page with Kraft paper before I cut them out. After I cut them out I added a hole at the top with my Crop-A-Dile then added a piece of twine and I was finished very quickly.

 

Have a lovely holiday. Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

File Folder Gift Tags with Ginger Snowman Crocks

Hi Everyone!

One of my favorite activities of the Christmas season is wrapping gifts. I love playing with different colored wrapping paper and ribbons and string and bows ... and well, I know -- you either love it or hate it!

Today I'm featuring gift tags that I made with Deena's adorable Ginger Snowman Crocks Printable Hang Tags.

These tags are so sweet -- there are four different tags and you will get two of each on a sheet. All you need to do is print them out on heavy cardstock, cut, punch out a hole and add a ribbon or string!! So easy!

I decided to do something a bit different and created gift tags from little file folders that I had on hand.

The folders measure 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 and the hang tags fit perfectly on the front of the folder.

After cutting out the snowmen images, I glued them to the front of two kraft paper and two ivory folders. I stamped "Merry Christmas" on the tab of each folder and added a glittery brad to each.

These tags would look great on a gift wrapped in brown paper -- just add some natural colored string -- and what a delightful presentation that would make!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. For more gift wrapping inspiration, check out all of the Printable Hang Tags at the Ewe-N-Me website.

Merry Christmas all!

Stocking Stuffer Notebooks - Primitive Labels

Hello everyone!

Are you filled with the holiday spirit yet? Where I live (northern Ohio) we're usually facing snow, cold and blustery weather at this time of year. But right now we're having a heat wave and it's been in the 60s!! Kind of hard to get into that Christmas mood, but that didn't stop me from making a couple of delightful stocking stuffers.

Today I'm featuring Deena's Primitive Label Sheet - Dash Away Reindeer Grains.

I simply adore this vintage image -- it just captures that old-fashioned Christmas feeling. You will get this image in two different sizes and you'll get three of each size -- for a total of six images on a sheet.

For my project today, I used two of the small size images to create two little journals.

These little notebooks measure 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 and make great stocking stuffers. I used a light turquoise cardstock from my paper scraps and adhered that to the front and back covers of the journals. I then glued the printed image to the cover of each notebook. My post from last week featured cards I created using similar labels -- and I also used a blue background. I just love the way it sets off these vintage images!!

I decorated the edge of each notebook with a piece of white felt rick-rack that I purchased on clearance earlier this year. It has come in handy for so many projects!!! For the finishing touch, I adorned each notebook with some sparkly snowflake embellishments!

Super easy -- and so festive!

Christmas Cards With Matching Ornaments

I just love these hang tags and yesterday while watching the old classic, "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" (I LOVE old black and white movies and I can look at Cary Grant all day) I made some Christmas cards with matching ornaments using this file.

 

You get 3 of each tag for a total of 9 tags and you can print as many as you need.

 



 

The ornaments are all double sided with a piece of lightweight chipboard in between them. I punched a hole in the top of each ornament and added a piece of twine for hanging on the tree. I also added a jewel on the bottom of each tag.



 



For each of the cards I added a piece of ribbon with an enamel dot. The tags are adhered with foam pads. I used my corner chomper on the corners.

When I put these cards in the mail, each card will have it's matching tag inside.

Very quick, easy and cute cards and ornaments whipped up in a short time.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Matchbook Journals with Winter Buddies Hang Tags

Hi all and happy Monday -- can you believe tomorrow is December 1?

Which means Christmas is only ... gasp ... less than a month away!! Let the fun and festivities begin!
Today I'm featuring Ewe-N-Me Printables Hang Tags Winter Buddies.

There are three different images with this festive downloadable and you will receive three of each image on a 8.5" x 11" page.

After printing the page, I cut out one of each image to use on my small matchbook journals.

These little booklets are perfect stocking stuffers and are so easy to create. I cut a piece of cardstock at the dimensions of 6-3/4 x 3 and then scored at 2-1/2, 2-3/4 and 5-3/4, 6. I then adhered the delightful images to the front of each booklet.

Using my craft punch I punched holes through the front and back and then threaded red and white cording through each booklet.

Are these too cute or what?

Please visit Ewe-N-Me-Printables for more holiday hang tags!

So glad you stopped by today! Visit again soon for more holiday inspired creations!

Angel Note Cards

I love small note cards because they are just so handy. They're so convenient to have on hand because they can be used in so many ways: along with a gift, to send a quick note to a someone or to use as a gift set. Deena's Hang Tags - Angel Postcards were the perfect images to use for the fall and upcoming holiday season.

There are four different angels, and you'll receive two of each on a page.

After printing out the sheet, I cut out four images and adhered them to a rich brown cardstock. The colors on this downloadable are wonderful for this time of year and looked great against the brown background.

For a decorative touch, I added some curly-cue brads to each image. I used two black and two gold and they have a sparkly finish -- a perfect little detail for the holidays.

These angel tags were so much fun to create with. Deena makes working with her images so easy. Just print, cut and glue!!

Christmas Morning Christmas Cards

Hi everyone! Are you counting down to Christmas -- it's only a week away!!

Today I'm so pleased to feature cards I created using Deena's Collage Sheet - Christmas Morning. If you're as big a fan of vintage as I am, you will love these gorgeous images. The colors are so soft and beautiful and the children make them so charming. You will get six different images in two sizes -- that's a total of twelve images!!

I printed the sheet on white cardstock and then cut out several of the larger images. I inked the edges in black and then glued them to tan and green polka-dotted paper. I added a piece of green burlap ribbon with copper edging that adds a festive touch. A kraft card is the base which ties in so well with the soft colors.

I stamped "Christmas" on a piece of weathered paper and punched it out with my postage stamp punch. The copper gemstones add some additional holiday flair. As you can see, I made two different versions. I really like the cards with the photo corners -- don't they enhance the vintage feel?

There's still time to make those last minute Christmas cards -- these are easy, so why not give them a try. Check out more holiday and seasonal collage sheets at Ewe-N-Me Printables.

Thanks so much for visiting today.

Cocoa Treat Envelope Gift Card Holder

Hello Everyone:

Can you believe how close Christmas is getting?  I needed to make a gift card holder for my brother and fell in love with this Merry Christmas Santa printable Cocoa Treat envelope.  I decided to make mine into a gift card holder.  I like to jazz up gift cards and think this will do the trick perfectly.

I added stickles roughly to his beard and eyebrows to give them some dimension.  Because this treat envelope is so lovely and is for a man, I didn't do much other decorations than creating two hang tags, one with the Santa from the back of the package and another tag with my brother's name on it.

I printed two of the files and then was able to easily decorate any way in which I wanted to.  That is the beauty of Deena's files, once they are yours, you can print as many as you need to.  I'll be back later this week with another project.  Have a great day everyone and hope this holiday season is magical for you.

Mini Notebook Stocking Stuffers

Happy Holidays everyone! Can you believe we've got less than two weeks until Christmas?

If you're looking for a fun and festive stocking stuffer, I've got the perfect project for you. I'm featuring Deena's Hang Tags - Snowman Doodles 2 that I used for my Christmas mini notebooks. You'll get three ADORABLE snowman images with this downloadable -- and you'll get three of each image on an 8.5 x 11 page!

I started this project by covering the front and back covers of three mini notebooks with red and ivory patterned paper. The notebooks are approximately 3-1/4" x 4-1/2." Then, I printed the snowmen images on white cardstock and cut out three of them.

I glued the snowmen images to the front of the notebook and adhered a strip of black and white polka dotted ribbon to the edge of each notebook.

I added a black and white striped button to each image, and to make these notebooks really festive, I added a snowflake embellishment.

Aren't these snowmen just so great!  

If you're looking for a little gift or stocking stuffer idea, I hope I gave you some inspiration!

And, right now - thru December 14 - all Ewe-N-Me Printables Hang Tags are only $1.00!!

Gift Tags - Mini Cards

Today I have some really cute gift tags I made using the Joyful Greetings Printable Hang Tags

 

 

You get 8 total tags, 2 of each design.

 

I had these sheets of Christmas paper that were the perfect size, 6 1/2" tall x 4 1/2" wide before folding in the middle at the 3 1/4" mark and cut out the hang tags using my paper trimmer.

 

Then I pulled out some glitter paper/foil paper scraps and cut them so that they would be big enough to layer the hang tags onto. I wrapped ribbon around the layering pieces like you would a gift box, adhered the hang tags and attached the layers to the front of the gift tags, punched a hole in the upper right corner of each one and attached a piece of ribbon.

 

Added a few sequins to the front of each one and I was done. These could also be used to make some Mini Christmas cards.

 

Thanks for stopping by and looking.

 

See you next time.

Small Farmhouse Labels Home Decor

Today I have a home décor item to share with you made using these very sweet labels: Small Farmhouse Labels

I save my used glass jars, the kind jams and pickles come in. I also save some of my empty yeast and relish bottles, this time I used a jam jar.

I stamped around the outside of the jar using the smallest star in the My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas stamp set, using Blazing Red StazOn ink and let it dry. I glued 2 levels of red pompom trim to the top of the jar then filled the inside of the jar with some iridescent Easter grass (basket filler).

I printed the files on vellum, you get a total of 18 labels, 3 of each in 3 different sizes, 9 on a parchment background, 9 on a white background. The ink takes a long time to dry on vellum, I let mine dry overnight before handling them so that I didn't end smearing ink everywhere.

After the ink on the labels dried, I cut out the 3 smallest of both pages. I adhered them to some light green glitter paper, using my Xyron 3" sticker maker and cutting them out and inking my edges.

I used some kitchen skewers and glue gun and hot glued the sticks to the backs of the designs, when the glue was totally set I turned them over and added a bow to the front of each one. I broke off part of the sticks on some of them for a variety of sizes.

See you next time,

Sue Kracker
