This week we are sharing Christmas in July projects featuring the This Christmas Suite of products. These projects will also be shown on the Stampin' Up Facebook page this Friday. I decided to make another tag set, and a matching gift bag to hold them. This would make a great class, or you could make a few sets ahead of time to give as gifts during the holiday season.

I started by making two different sizes of tags from the cardstock pack which includes Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler cardstocks. I used the Banners Framelits Dies to cut the tag bases. Next, I cut 1" strips of the patterned papers, scored them at 1/2" and folded them over the tops of the tags, trimming at the edges.

Next, I cut two sizes of labels from the Tags & Labels Framelits Dies from Very Vanilla Cardstock, also part of the cardstock pack. I stamped the greetings (from the Peace This Christmas and Oh, What Fun stamp sets) in the middle in Black Memento ink. Then I stamped the other images around the greetings from the Peace This Christmas stamp set, using markers to ink the images with flowers and berries included.

I layered the stamped labels with Metallic Doilies, and finished them off with the Gold 1/8" Ribbon and the Gold 1/4" Natural Trim after punching a 1/8" hole in the top. I kept my tags pretty simple, but if you wanted to dress yours up more, you could add some sequins, rhinestones or even some glitter for even more sparkle. The greeting labels were adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I even stamped the backs with the "to" and "from" stamps from the Oh, What Fun stamp set.

Here is the little gift bag I made. I started with the plain Glassine Gift Bags, and added some more of the Gold 1/4" Natural Trim to tie it shut. I created another gift tag, with similar steps as above, and pulled through the long strands of the ribbon, to tie a bow with. It's such a simple but cute package!
