Quick Tips for Last Minute Gift Tags

Leave a comment
Hello there! My tutorial today is not on construction of a file but is more about time savings! We are all busy this time of year so I am going to show you how I whip up a few cute Lori Whitlock gift tags in minutes!
I chose a set of tags that were same style, different design. That’s not necessary but makes for fast tracking your project if your time is limited and you want to add a special touch to your gifts. I doubled all the pieces to make 2 sets of tags.
Christmas Tag Santa (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)
Christmas Tag Penguin  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)
Christmas Tag Polar Bear  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)
Christmas Tag Snowman  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)
In the Lori Whitlock Store you can also buy all of these tags as a bundle HERE.

I opened each tag file and made a copy of each one. (Ctrl + arrow button). One of them I keep grouped and resize it very small  and pull it off to the side(will use for reference only). The second one I ungroup (rt click on file, choose ungroup)
Once ungrouped, I pull each color off to the side. Repeat 3 more times with the other files.
You can see above that I have all 4 grouped files resized to a very small size and set off to the side for reference. This allows you to refer to them after cutting so you can re-group the misc pieces back to the Santa, penguin, snowman and polar bear tag. In this instance, the bear is the only one that has ears, so he’s easy to spot! All the other tan backgrounds are exactly the same size and shape. Very convenient!
By doing this, you can cut one mat of tan and another of white, pink, orange, and black. You can see I also used  four different colored 6×6 patterned papers on my first mat -all my hats done at once. Another space saver! I normally have two mats ready for a project so that I can have the second mat ready to load and cut while I am clearing the other mat off. Quite a time saver.
As usual, I always make duplicate of the small pieces in case I lose one. Never fails something disappears! Also if you want your hat bands to be white, add them to the white group.
From there just match up the pieces of each different design and glue up. It takes minutes to glue them all up. I timed myself to see how long it took me- literally less than 2 minutes for each one, and that was while being distracted watching a Hallmark movie LOL! I think it took me 15 minutes to glue up all 8 tags.
I hope you can find a few minutes to make some cute little  gift tags-Lori has so many cute sets to choose from!

Recipe Pocket Flip Frame Tutorial

I have such a fun holiday tutorial for you today.  This little gift idea goes together in no time.  To start you need a 4×6 photo frame like this.  I got this one at At Home.

Next, I cut 6 Library Pockets (SVG, Silhouette) from Lori’s Have A Holly Jolly Christmas.  All different patterns.  It’s such a fun collection.  And it’s the perfect collection for Christmas recipes!
Next, fold on score lines and adhere to create your pockets.  I did not cut any of the inserts because there are inserts in the collection to use.
Once you have all your pockets put together, get a couple of book rings and your hole punch.
I measured 1.25 inch from each side and .25 inch from the top.  Put all your pockets on the rings and hook on to your frame.
I added these 4×6 cards from the collections for my inserts and on the back I added recipe cards.
Then I just added embellishments and some sewing.  I love how this turned out, it’s a fun little holiday gift!

Christmas Mini Album

Hi Friends! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas that was warm and safe! Today I am sharing one of the mini albums from the Fabulous Mini Album Bundle (SVG, Silhouette). I haven’t made a December daily album for a few years because they are always so much work and I never seem to be done. So, I decided to scale it down a lot and just make a mini album. Less work, less pressure, but still so fun and cute! I just need to add my pictures and journaling.

 
All of the papers, stickers, and embellishments are from The Magic of Christmas collection by Echo Park Paper Co.
Thanks for stopping by today!
