I don't necessarily procrastinate, but I always seem to be finishing things up just in the nick of time. I think it's because I have a lot of things to do (like all of us) and start with what needs to be done NOW and then work on the next things. Case in point, I usually end up wrapping Christmas presents on Christmas Eve. Well, this year I already have several gifts wrapped. It's because my brother and his family live 14+ hours away and my sister was going out to visit him over Thanksgiving. So, rather than have to pay the shipping to send gifts out to them, I sent them with my sister which meant I had to have them AND have them wrapped! Good thing my sister does things way ahead of time and got me into it this year. Anyway, I made these tags to go on their gifts.
I used the same dies for the tag shape then varied the stamps I used on them. The first ones are my favorite snowmen for my favorite niece (and I can say that since she's the only one!)
I used my mini MISTI to make all of these and it was so much easier and faster! I stamped the tag itself with red and then added the snowman in the circle; just the perfect size! I paper pieced their hats and scarves with some scraps. It just really adds to their cuteness. The next tags are for my first nephew and I used these super cute little reindeer.
I stamped his tags in green and then added the reindeer inside the circles. Next up it the tag for the littlest guy (he's not quite one yet).
I stamped his tag in green; keeping the boys' tags color coordinated. I stamped the present in the circle and colored it up, adding white dots to the bow with a gel pen. And last, but not least, the Mama's tag.
I wanted her's to be a little bit more elegant, so I used a damask stamp on the tag base and added a glittery, green, die cut snowflake on top instead of adding a stamped image. All of the tags match the colors in the wrapping paper and bows I used, so I look like I've got it all together! No one will ever know that I didn't get the tags made and on the packages until only a couple hours before my sister came to pick the gifts up. : )
