I allotted my morning time on Wednesday to gift tags, and I got 7 made, along with a note card.
This checked paper is from last year’s Crate Paper Falala pad.
Here are the backs of the tags.
You can see on the middle one there was a rogue dot from some other die cut – I got quite a nice impression.
The red snowflake is one out of the pile I had after finishing my parents’ Christmas cards.

I fell in love with this quilted tag die from Reverse Confetti. I really do have a lot of ideas for it – I hope you don’t get tired of seeing it!
I cut my sky & snow paper with the hillside die, then glued them both onto a piece of scrap paper, to be cut with the quilted tag die.
How are you doing on your holiday tasks? I am WOEFULLY behind. Ugh. When am I really going to learn to make my own holiday cards in July???

I invested in a new die set from My Favorite Things called Fold-Up Tags. What is unique with this set is that the top layer dies (3 with different bottom edge cuts) have a score line near the top that lets you fold back the top layer (neatly!) to see what is underneath after the top and bottom layers are glued together.
I used scraps from Crate Paper, Lawn Fawn, and…hmmm…that blue glitter snowflake paper…Recollections, maybe?
On the base layers I stamped “to: from”.

This is a square card that I made for personal use. I was really happy with the color combination.

Offspring3 gave me this pretzel die for my birthday, I finally pulled it out to use it (Sorry! She knows I love it!).
I started with mustard colored card stock, and blended 3 colors of Distress Ink on that. I was pleased with the result. I used a Signo Gel Pen to make the white salt crystals.
You know I LOVE pretzels…

I have not been very crafty in the last week. I made this quickly on Sunday morning to have something to put into a blog post.
Did you catch any exceptional Black Friday sales? I did some online shopping, and was satisfied to get the discounts I got. (I wonder if Cyber Monday discounts will be larger???)
