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!

Embellished Christmas Hang Tags

Hi Friends,
Today, I'd like to share some really cute primitive tags I made using some of the Merry Christmas to All... labels. These labels can be found in my etsy shop and would be great for a lot of different projects. They'd be really cute for package ties, or even placed on a primitive tree.

These are large tags. With the backing, they ended up being 3.75 in. wide by 4.75 in. high. I love the size of them. They really get noticed.

I printed the label sheet and trimmed the images. Instead of leaving the images with square corners, I chose to angle the top corners. I inked the edges with an "espresso" colored ink pad and trimmed two colors of cardstock just slightly larger than my main image. I also inked the edges of the card stock.

As you can see I chose a different colors for each tag.

I added ribbons and eyelets to embellish.

On the blue tag, I added some black enamel dots. The blue strip is simply a scrap of cardstock that was left over.

These were super quick and simple to make.

You can find the file that I worked with in my etsy shop. It's available as an instant download pdf and/or jpg file. You can find it by CLICKING HERE.

Thank you for joining us today. I hope you're enjoying our projects.
