Aren't these tags just the most adorable things you've ever seen?! I just LOVE how the North Pole Collage 4x6 Stamps let you customize tags (and more!) with sentiments that you can check off naughty or nice, sleeping or awake, etc. It's so much fun!

While I had my supplies out, I decided to make a gift card envelope that matches the tags so that I could have a full set of gift giving goodies ready for the holidays! So perfect, right?! Make sure you check out my video at the top of this post to see how quickly and easily everything came together!

i-crafter | Koi Pillow Box with Colorful Sprays

I'm sharing an easy way to quickly add color to the Koi Pillow Box Die from i-crafter. I like to add little candies or gifts inside of the pillow box to give to a friend! 

There are so many ways to bring color and pattern to the Koi Pillow Box - patterned papers, colored cardstock, etc. I went with Distress Oxide Sprays! I cut all of the pieces from the Koi Pillow Box Die Set from heavy white cardstock and sprayed them with a bunch of colors! I used blue and purple on the body, green and yellow on the fins, and then pink on the gills for a splash of color. I love how the sprays give added texture! 

The Koi Pillow Box will perfectly fit small candy bars, a gift card, or a pack of sequins! My son loves sequins and I thought this little fishy would be a great way to give him a little gift! There are little holes in the top of the Koi Pillow Box so that you can thread a piece of ribbon or twine through, but I didn't want that to hinder him, so I decided to leave it off. This little guy was so easy to put together! It would be great for teacher gifts! Thanks for stopping by - see you soon! 

i-crafter | Simple Holiday Gift Card Envelope

 I don't know about you, but I'm a terrible gift giver. Absolutely terrible! Gift cards are my go-to gifts during the Holidays, so I went back to some older i-crafter products to make a cute and simple gift card envelope! 

I used the Animalopes Die Set released at the beginning of this year to create my gift card envelope. The Animalopes Die Set can create a BUNCH of cute little animal envelopes - but the main die that cuts the mini envelope can be used for more than just cute critters! It's perfectly sized for gift cards or even little notes! I die cut the envelope and flap from a piece of plaid patterned paper, folded up the envelope, and glued the flaps down. It took me about a minute from start to finish! 

I wanted to keep the gift card envelope simple, but give it a punch of classic Christmas. I used the Tunnel Card Santa Add-On Die Set to cut the sentiment from green shimmer cardstock and Santa and his reindeer from red shimmer cardstock. I thought they got a bit lost against the plaid, so I glued them to a piece of vellum and used my scissors to "bubble cut" around the elements. 

You guys! I can't stress enough how SIMPLE this was to create! And I love that I can mix up my patterned paper to match the style of the gift card recipient! Thanks so much for stopping by!
