Tags for Christmas

'Tis the season to need little gifts, right?!  This week I will share with you some little tags, bags, and more that I have made just for gift-giving.

These little tags were used to give cookie plates to the various offices at the college where I work.  And the jar topper tag sits atop a jar of my yummy homemade cappaccino mix (thanks to my dear friend Cindy!).  It's my annual traditional gift for my close friends and student workers.  (The recipe is below in the comments.)

Fun Fold for Christmas

I really like the surprise of a different fold when I pull a card from the envelope.  This is the card I made for Christmas last year, and it uses a 'letter fold' on a 5.5" x 4.25" piece of cardstock.  The bottom is folded up, then the top folded down to just overlap a bit - the finished card is 5.5" x 4".

The belly band is punched at each end, folded around the card, and secured with ribbon and a bit of bling.  I made two variations - one for my Stampin' Up! Only (SUO) swap, and one for my family Christmast list.

Don't you love those little jingle bells?!  They even made a tinkling sound. And they mailed fine with an added quarter sheet of cardstock to shield them inside the envelope.
