Clowning Around

Hi everyone and happy Monday!

If you're looking for a simple and fun Valentine's Day decoration, then you'll love these extra large tags I created using Deena's Collage Sheet - Valentine Clowns!

The printable sheet comes with six different Victorian-style clown images and you will get all six in two different sizes. I used the larger size for my tags.

I started with six large manila tags (size 5-1/2 x 3) and edged each one with brown ink to give a distressed look. After printing and cutting out the images, I backed each one to a piece of fabric or burlap that I had in my stash -- in keeping with my New Year's goal to use what I have on hand. I then stapled each clown image to a tag.

As a finishing touch, I tied a piece of ribbon through the top of each tag.

The Valentine Clowns are so cheery and colorful and it was fun to select a different colored backing and ribbon for each tag! The large tags are great to use for a decorative banner for your home decor, or as an added touch to a Valentine's Day gift bag or box.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. For more collage sheets, be sure to visit the Ewe-N-Me Printables website.

Have a great week -- and HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!!

Sweet Gift Tags

Hi everyone!

Today I'm featuring six quick and easy gift tags that are so sweet -- in more ways than one! They feature Deena's Sweets for the Sweet Bottle Cap Images. Aren't they adorable?

There are six different one-inch round images, and you'll get six of each on one sheet. 

After printing them out on white cardstock, I punched out one set of six to use on my tags. I don't have a one-inch round punch so I had to use my 1-1/4 inch punch, but I like the white border around the images. I backed them with pink polka-dotted flowers that I created with my flower punch. The paper has a bit of sparkle, which adds a festive touch.

I then glued each flower to a manila tag that was edged with brown ink to give the tags a distressed look. I tied a piece of pink and brown ribbon to the top of each tag.

These tags would be perfect for a Valentine's Day gift. They'd also be a fun decoration at a party or shower where cupcakes are served!!

There are lots more bottle cap images at the Ewe-N-Me Printables website -- be sure to check them out soon!

Thanks so much for visiting today!

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!

Three in One

Hello everyone! Welcome to a new week!

Today I'm featuring Deena's Printable Gift Card Envelope - Birthday.

This image is really sweet and what's great is that you get two gift card envelopes on one page. I used one image for the gift card and I created a coordinating birthday card and tag with the other one. Three items from one downloadable!!

The gift card envelope is super-simple to make. Simply print, cut, fold and glue. It really doesn't get any easier. So cute!

I used the larger part of the second envelope as the feature on my birthday card and the smaller image for a tag. The gift card envelope easily fits inside the birthday card. Or, you could place it in a gift bag and attach the tag to the handle. 

I like that I was able to make use of both images from one page! How fun to have a coordinated set, too!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great week!

Snowman Gift Tags - Card in a Box

Today I used these adorable gift tags on my Card in a Box.  Printable Snowman Gift Tags  You get 6 tags total, 2 of each design, all you need to do is cut them out and score down the middle.

 

 

I made this card for my son and daughter in law because they don't celebrate Christmas in Japan,  they celebrate New Year's and send out New Year's cards like we send out Christmas cards.

 

The instructions for making a Card in a Box are a little involved so I am including this link to a youtube video tutorial.  Card in a Box Tutorial

 

 

I think that I have a page of each side, the back side is where you would add your sentiment and signature. On the inside of each gift tag I added either a seasonal stamp or in this one a sentiment.

 

I used a combination of stamps and Cricut cuts to create the decorations.

 

Thank you for stopping by today.

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.

Birthday Card and Gift Tag

Hello again everyone!

My post today features the Altered Cupcakes Hang Tags that are SO cute and colorful. I thought they would be perfect for a child's birthday so I created both a birthday card and matching gift tag.

With these printables you will get 6 tags (three different images).

After printing the page of tags, I cut out two of the same images. I used pink card stock and brown ink that coordinated perfectly with the tags I selected.

The card features Happy Birthday stamped in brown ink, a chip board piece also edged in brown ink and strip of colorful rickrack. The rickrack was a perfect embellishment because it matches the image on the tag. Before I adhered the tag to the card, I tied a piece of twine through the top added a sparkly gemstone to the to top of the cupcake. These embellishments really add a festive flair!

For the gift tag I glued it to piece of of the same pink card stock that I used on the card. I punched a hole at the top of the tag and tied a piece of twine through it. As I did with the card, I added a gemstone and tiny pearls. I think it makes a fun presentation!

There are so many possibilities with hang tags and I hope you enjoyed the idea I showed you today. For more great hang tags be sure to visit here.

See you soon.
