Monogrammed Gift Tags

December 4, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 21 Comments

Christmas is my favourite time of year and I really look forward to creating all the little finishing touches that add to the magic of the season. Simple is the theme for all my Christmas projects this year as I seem to be short on time.

 

To fit in with my theme of red and white wrapping, I have made up some monogrammed gift tags using basic white shipping labels, some polka dotted scrapping booking paper, some red and white cut outs, and silver letters. They were assembled in next to no time!

I recently spent an enjoyable day with a special friend, teaching her to make a reversible tree skirt (something that has been on my Christmas list for years!).

 

Sarah and I were lucky enough to win a fantastic giveaway on Sheri Howard Designs recently. We won a copy of her book, Ruby Red Books, which features some wonderful applique designs. Sheri also included some fabrics that she used in her designs. Thanks again Sheri – it is a most inspiring book and will be a great addition to our quilting library.

 

We also received a package of Christmas candy from Myriam – much appreciated!

    I love those tags and I wanted you to know that I ordered that little flourish punch because of you girls (those tea bag holders from a while back really inspired me).

    I have already started using it in my Christmas projects!!!!

    Love the tags. I’m doing red & white this year for decorating. What a great idea to put on the initial for the tags. I think Santa is going to copy your idea this year, for easy sorting purposes under our Christmas tree. 😉

    Love, love, LOVE that reversible tree skirt! I wish that I was your neighbor so that you could teach me to make one! 🙂 I am also completely smitten with those tags. Red/White is my very favorite color combo (Christmas or anytime), and these are lovely. I will be popping back to gaze at this post many times, I am sure!
