I don't usually send Christmas cards. I am so busy with work that I find it difficult to find time to address the envelopes. But, if there was ever a year to change that, 2020 is it. We could all use the lift of seeing our mailboxes stuffed with mail—personal mail. I definitely prefer classic [...]
Continuing along on the holiday candy gift theme, these red and white tags wish the recipient Sweet Tidings. The red really pops against brown paper. Try wrapping homemade fudge in butcher paper, tied up with baker's twine and these tags. Or, use kraft paper bags as I showed in my example. The diy printable gift [...]
With the holidays approaching, I have been thinking a lot about invitations lately. So many of us will not be hosting or going to see our friends and family this season. But, I know it is a temporary situation and we will get though it. And when we do, it would be nice to have [...]
I am stepping away from my usual tags today, to do a sticker template you can print on precut Avery labels. These "Thankful for Sweet Friends Like You" tags are great for the holidays or year-round use. You can either print on 2.5 inch round labels to make stickers, or just do cardstock and cut [...]
I am continuing to design and post holiday gift tags. These tags are for coworkers, clients, or anyone you do business with. Use them to make pretty packages for your entire staff. The gift tags say "It's a Treat Working with You." They go great with sweets or other edible gifts. You may download your [...]
Well, it is that time. My first holiday season gift tag of 2020 is ready for posting. This is one I designed a few years ago for my own gift wrapping, and I have used it many times. I thought some of you would enjoy it as well, and I like to think of it [...]
In 1948, Charles and Ray Eames entered a design for the molded plastic rocker in MoMA’s competition for low-cost furniture design, and a classic was born. I've always had a thing for mid-century modern forms, and it is fun to incorporate some of those silhouettes into gift wrapping. You can print these tags onto any [...]
I bought my duplex two years ago. Before that, I spent many years living in an urban high-rise apartment. And the fact is, I never really got on my balcony game. I had a cafe table and chairs out there and would occasionally eat a meal outside, but mostly the space went unused. If I [...]
At least a couple of times a year I need to wrap a congratulations gift. Many of my friends have kids that are at or soon approaching high school graduation age. These congrats tags can be used for grads, or for anyone celebrating a life accomplishment. They work especially great for favors at retirement parties. [...]
Thanksgiving is about a month away. I will not be traveling, and I suspect many of you are also planning to stay put. If you have vulnerable family members, there is a good chance you won't be spending the day with them either, even if they live nearby. One idea that might make everyone feel [...]
