Doodlebug Design | Christmas Town Tags & Bags

Christmas is officially 15 days away!  Hopefully you have some shopping done... I'm actually in good shape this year, mostly because all of the "kids" I need to purchase for are in their 20's and 30's and prefer gift cards!  I don't love giving gift cards, but sometimes they really are the perfect gift, so I've made it a point to wrap them in something special!  This year I decided to wrap them in cute bags with some tags made with the Christmas Town Odds & Ends Pieces.  I made the tags for the gift bags, but they could be used for any gift!

For the tags (and bags), I used a few different cut files from Lori Whitlock's 2 on 12x12 Tag Bag Bundle, but there are plenty of cut files and dies you could use, or even create your own tags using a trimmer and punches.  Once I cut the tags from the Dot Strip Petite Prints, the fun began!  I had fun making little scenes with the Christmas Town Odds & Ends, along with some of the different sprinkles.  Here are some close-ups...

I added a To/From stamp to the backs of the tags to add the recipients' names.  I topped them off with some Doodlebug Chunky Twine.

These tags could be used for any gift at this point.  I added them to some small bags from the cut files, and some papers from the Christmas Town Collection. I filled them with some treats and the cards!

Now I just have to finish putting up my tree so that I can place them under it!  Have you made any tags, or gift wrap with the Christmas Town Collection?  We would love to see them!  Make sure to tag @doodlebugdesign on Instagram and Facebook!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Lori Whitlock: Print and Cut Christmas Tags

Hi Everyone ! Well, we are down to the wire with the holidays, and I will admit, I'm a last minute wrapper! This year, I did think ahead a little and I created some fun tags using Lori's Print and Cut Christmas Tag Bundle. (Sold individually in the Silhouette Store here). I know a lot of Silhouette users are unsure how to use the print and cut feature, but it really is pretty easy, and the results are awesome!  I have a full tutorial here on the Lori Whitlock's Blog.  Here are the tags, so cute!

 

And here are some close-ups of the individual tags, I used some Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Christmas for the tag bases.

 

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Lori Whitlock: A Purr-fect Mini Album

Hi Everyone!  Wow, no posts for a couple of weeks, now three in a row!!  Today I'm up on the Lori Whitlock Blog with a new way to use one of her fun files!  As soon as I saw Lori's Gift Tag Set, I thought it would make the perfect mini album!  The tags are the perfect size for smaller pictures... especially the fun new ones I printed using my Instax Printer!!  Take a peek...

 

 

The Gift Tag Set comes with a cute little box and a cut file for the tags.  I decorated the box with pieces from Lori's Cat Belly Box, and then cut 5 of the tags using Bella Blvd.'s Riley Collection to be the pages of my album.  I added some Instax Pictures of my two trouble makers and some fun stickers and elements from the Riley collection for each page.  Here are some close-ups of the pages.

Here's a look at everything together.  To hold the pages together, I used a book ring, decorated with some fun coordinating ribbons.



 

It all went together so quickly!  I think this would be perfect for a little gift album!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!
