Tags for a hostess gift.

My boss hosted a lil' holiday party Saturday night and I wanted to take a hostess gift for him and his wife, and since I'm all about the handmade, I wasn't about to go out and spend actual money on a gift. I figured it was probably too late to give Christmas cards, so I went with the next best thing: a set of Christmas tags. My boss is a rich guy, lives in Eagle where all the richies live, has a super nice house and all that, so I thought better to go nice than say fun or whimsical with these tags.

My papers are from Papertrey Ink's Holiday Vintage Prints, and ribbons, inks and to/from are from there as well. Basically I made 2 each in the same pattern, one horizontal and one vertical, and then embellished them all differently.

This first one I took advantage of the size of this huge snowflake from K&Company and didn't really need anything else beyond that.

A little glitter foam present from Petaloo, some little pearls from Martha Stewart, and a little bit of vintage trim from A Million Memories.

Prima Lustered Leaves
and some berries from Real Deals. I added some red-line tape to the back for this one to be adhered on to a gift since my scrap ribbon wasn't enough to make a loop.

Lace trim from A Million Memories, Dew Drops, and a pretty key from Making Memories.

I'm off today and tomorrow - - yippeee! I'm gonna be home wrapping and listening to Christmas music, and who knows, I might even make some more tags *wink*

Have a great Monday!
