Playing With WM Little Box Labels!!!

Hi all, I have been MIA a bit for the past week or so. Just trying to make some headway with Christmas gifts that need to be mailed. Much of our family lives out of town so we have a significant amount of mailing to do. I started on some tags for last week's WMSC. We never use name tags and so I thought tags using the sketch would be okay. However, when Claire posted the details on the tag contest, I decided to wait and use them now.

I like to have two types of tags--the ones that can be tied on a gift and also ones that are mini cards where I have more room to write a note. They need to be quick to make with simple designs so I chose Little Box Labels and Spellbinders Labels Five to do some easy cutting and stamping. Be sure to check Claire's post here to see how she used this set. I love her version using Festive Foliage. There are just endless possibilities!!

For such little creations I had SO many supplies out---you should have seen the mess! I kept getting out more and more sets to try different images--fun but messy! These used sentiments from Christmas Cottage. A complete list of supplies is below.
Here's a photo of the backs. It helps to stamp "To" and "From" or a short message. I also left enough twine on the end, after tying bows, to be able to tie these on a package.

Here are the mini cards (approximately 4" x 3 /12"). One of the cool things about this label stamp is that you can flip it so the circle is at the bottom or at the top. And there are lots of options of images that fit inside too!

Happy Holiday Preparations to All........
Smiles,
Sharron

What an awesome way to use that little recipe label! I just love how you tucked those little images inside. The pretty color schemes and ribbons and added sparkly touches all make these extra-specially sweet. Such a great set, Sharron!

Mmmmmm! It's great to see some gorgeous WMS goodness! I have these labels and they haven't seen ink for a looong time, but yours are *SO* inspiring - I'm feeling itchy to play! Love the colours and the olde worlde feel you've given these, your mini cards are brilliant!
