Tags for Christmas Presents

on

Hi everyone and happy 3rd Advent Sunday :)

Only 10 more days until Christmas... *phew*... time flies!

I couldn't sleep last night and woke up at 3:30 am *sigh* So I decided, not to let grass grow under my feet, but got creative *lol* (does this sound familiar to some of you?)
And I did some tags for our Christmas presents :-)
They are quite simple and quick to create, yet I love the look of them. Especially all the golden shimmer (I am such a sucker for all things shimmery and sparkly, and around Christmas, I especially love gold a lot ;-) )

So I went ahead and die cut left over scraps from a 6x6 paper pad by My Mind's Eye ("Lost and Found Christmas") and cut them with the "Funky Round Tag" and "Funky Square Tag" Fri-Dies from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.

I stamped the sentiment (also from CAS-ual Fridays Stamp; from their "Christmas Carols" set) with Golden Glitz Delicata inks from Tsukineko. Oh my goodness.. how I loooove this beautiful, rich and sparkly golden ink! I just can't get enough of it. I even "colored" the small star wood veneers (Studio Calico) with the same Delicata ink, by using a sponge dauber and then dabbing the golden ink onto them. I also wiped around the edges of all patterned paper for a little bit of extra golden shimmer (did I tell you, that I am a huge fan of sparkle and shine? ;-) ).  I finished my tags with some rustic looking natural twine (to balance all of the gold).

I hope the recipients will love them as much as I do. And I hope you like them, too :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will come back, visiting my blog soon! :)

For my card I used some patterned papers in really fun and happy colors! The background paper is from Color Hills, the chevron strips are cut out from a MME paper. Thes papers come with the October Scrapbook Werkstatt kit + add ons.
The "Make Some Noise" stamp is from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and I love it's versatility! You could either use this card for a Birthday greeting or just a general Congratulations card! It just depends on what you write on the inside :)
Für meine Karte habe ich ein paar fröhlich bunte Papiere hergenommen. Im Hintergrund seht Ihr ein Papier von Color Hills und die Streifen mit den Chevron Mustern sind einfach aus einem gemusterten Papier von MME ausgeschnitten. Die Papiere sind übrigens im Oktober Kit bzw. im Beiwerk der Scrapbook Werkstatt enthalten.
Der "Make Some Noise" Stempel ist von CAS-ual Fridays Stamps und ich mag die Vielseitigkeit! Die Karte kann man nun entweder als Geburtstagsgruß oder generell als Glückwunsch verschicken! Es kommt nur drauf an, was man nun auf die Innenseite schreibt :)
