Lily Bee Finds

Focus On Double Dutch

Happy Monday! Today, we asked our designers to create a project using Double Dutch, one of our new collections from the winter CHA. Double Dutch is happy and bright, both springy and vibrant with a touch of navy blue, making it perfect for any of your projects. You can take a look at the entire line here.

Day 11: Holiday Gift Tags

Hi Lily Bee friends!  It's Jenni here today with a few quick ideas for making gift tags for your holiday gifts this season.

If you are anything like me, you may be in the middle of many different holiday craft projects and have scraps galore.   Well, how about using some of those extra small pieces of paper and making gift tags?   I found that using the Jingle 6x6 Tiny Tablet was perfect for this project!

I used Kraft tags by Ranger, but you can find tags like this at your local office supply store.  It's great to have a stack of these around for such things and they also are wonderful for scrapbook layouts!   I then used various scraps from my Jingle 6x6 paper pad, Jingle cardstock stickers, ABC letters, and journaling cards and went to town.  

I added a few extra items such as stickpins, border punches, ribbon, and twine.   I really enjoyed using the Jingle stamp collection as well.  I paired it with silver ink from American Crafts to create the snowflakes in the tag below. 

This last tag was the quickest to make, but it might be my favorite! I took three different square punches to create a stack of presents-- so fun!   It would be easy to repeat these designs with different Jingle pattern papers to create a handmade, uniform look underneath your tree.

I hope you are enjoying our 24 days of holiday inspiration!  And as you craft, don't forget to save your Lily Bee scraps to make beautiful gift tags!

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. This Thursday is Thanksgiving here in the US. It's my favorite holiday of the year. It's one of those holidays that is celebrated by almost everyone, regardless of religion, because everyone can find something to be thankful about. So we asked our designers to create projects that are thankfulness related. (Click on photos to see a bigger version.)
