Christmas Cards & Gift Tags

.
I usually make my Christmas cards each year.  It took me a little while this year to get motivated, but I finally finished them and got them out in the mail last week.  I came up with a super simple design that didn't take too long to put together.

.
First I stamped "merry christmas" on the front of the card.
.















.
Next I glued on a decorative piece of paper to the front of the card.

Then I added a stamp to the inside of the card and a ribbon on the front of the card.

All finished!

Today I made some very simple gift tags.

Next up - wrapping!

  4. Thanks Cindy & Jane for stopping by!

    Beege - I used cardstock for the base of the tags - even easier than buying plain tags. Also nice because then you can make them any size you want!
