Happy Saturday!
Earlier this week my good friend Kerri Bradford showcased these Christmas in July Gold + White gift tags on her blog and today I wanted to share them with my readers as well (and hey, I made a video, finally edited it, so I've included that as well!). I know that for many of us, thinking about the Christmas season seam cra-zy but it's going to sneak up on us before we know it and it doesn't hurt to have some of our Christmas crafting done early, right?!
So apparently I am still super in love with the gold + white color combo for holiday. Or any day, really. But there's something so stunning and elegant about crisp white with a touch of gold for the holidays that makes my heart go pitter patter. Love it.
To create my tags, I die cut a bunch of tags (20 total, 4 each of 5 designs) from Neenah Solar White cardstock using tags from several of Kerri's digital die cut kits (see below the last photo for info on which design came from which kit).
Each of the tags is stamped with images from Kerri's two new stamp sets, Holiday Magic and Believe. Some of the tags I stamped with one image, some I used multiple images from the stamp sets. Everything was stamped with Versamark Frost Ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
I threaded Pretty Pink Posh white twine, May Arts gold metallic string, Lawn Fawn Gold Sparkle twine, and white silk ribbon through each of the tags.
This tag design had a hole reinforcement design so I die cut that from some gold foil cardstock and adhered it to the tag(s).
The twinkle tag? Yeah, if I had to choose I think that one's my favorite. Totally simple but I love the combination of the stars and the single word.
Need a handmade gift? Tuck these tags into a vellum bag, tape it shut with some sparkly wash tap, secure a gold bow (made with one of Kerri’s designs of course!) and add one of the small tags to the front and voila!, a great gift! Pair it with roll or two of coordinating wrapping paper and tape and it would make a really great gift!
