Last minute christmas gift tags.

 

Well its December 23rd, and if you are anything like me, you've thought of gifts that you have forgotten about.. yup I do this every year!! By now, I've normally run out of gift tags.. So instead of running to the shops to get some more today, I pulled out a few of my VLVS stamps and made some very quick and easy little gift tags!  These are super easy and ohh so quick to make!

 

 

 I have used the following VLVS! Stamps:

 

Jingle Bells

Deer Looking

Holly Large

{With love}

 

 

 

I started off by staining some cardstock with some instant coffee, and cutting them to my desired  gift tag size.

 

I then randomly stamped the Jingle bells stamp onto my tags, I was still able to achieve a random print of my image as I  varied the pressure on my acrylic block.

 

 

Next came my focal images Deer Looking and Holly large , both have been stamped in Jet Black Archival ink.

 

A little bit of colour with my trusty distress markers next..

 

a little inking around the edge..

 of course some machine stitching, and one more little added touch..

 

 

And i'm all done, and have a little pile of gift tags ready to add to those present that I've forgotten!

 

 

I hope that you all have a wonderful festive season, and get to spend some time with those you love doing what you enjoy!

Until next time.. Happy Stamping, Stay safe and Merry Christmas!

Tera says "Today I decided to do a fun new take on using dies. As many of you know I love mail art, but gluing pieces on the outside of an envelope can be awkward. To keep the envelope nice and flat, but add depth and dimension I decided to combine stamping with "masking" with Die cuts! This Is a great technique to use on all of your upcoming Christmas tags, envelopes, and even gift wrapping!!"

And that's it folks! Visit the Die-namites blog for their last day and make sure to catch up on leaving comments. We'll be announcing a giveaway soon!!
