Christmas gift tags

Happy December to you!

I want to share the gift tags I made from some art I created!

The PDF file is here or you can copy the picture above.

Just print on white cardstock or a thicker white paper... cut on cutting line and use for gift tags. Print as many as you like. 

 This is a gift from me to you.

I wanted to share the many emotions of my little grand baby Jessica. 

 She was born November 12th!

Here she is being pretty Angelic!

She is a total sweetie, what a blessing!

She is doing great and so is Selina... Dad (Jaryd) is doing great too!

I love her so much!

Happy Holidays!!!
and here's hoping 2024 is Awesome!

Happy New Year...2023!

Yay!

 Happy New Year!

2023!

I love when we have a new year....time to reflect, gain some wisdom from the past and have new goals!

Do you have health resolutions?  New business goals?

Time to organize? Plans for a vacation? Personal Goals?

Now is a fabulous time to brainstorm what you want from this next year, and set some goals.

Split the goals up into smaller goals if you need to.  

The only way to change is to work on these smaller goals each day.

You can do it!

My goals are:

I am working on my diabetes( my A1C is 5.8) and weight (overall health)....I have art goals and I am organizing all my hoard of things (plus getting rid of excess).

I love making new calendars.

I created this artwork on my iPad using procreate. It looks like a painting with paint right?

Made 2 sets of snowman ornaments... all with a snowflake/rainbow scarf theme.

They all sold.

I used my vintage pipecleaners for arms.

The scarfs were dyed silk cut into strips.

These are started from muslin...like my dolls in my charming dolls book.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At a family Christmas party ...we made crayon shavings ornaments

We took a glass ball, shaved crayons into pieces, put them inside the ball and heated it with a blowdryer. We made sure to hold it with some craft pliers. When the crayon melts you swirl the ball around to coat it.

They turned out really pretty!

-----------------------------------

Another party I went to was the doll club party in Spokane....hosted by Elise.

She had so many gorgeous trees!

Beautiful handmade ornaments...

I love the Victorian flair.

I posted alot more pics on Instagram.... check out my Instagram and follow me if you like...there is alot more content there.

I loved this Santa mouse...he was amazing!

----------------------------------------------------------

My husband & I had our 26th wedding Anniversary....

I made this little sign on procreate (my favorite tool).

We have been very happy... I feel very blessed.

Plus, he got me a lovely necklace.

I made a Gonzaga rug for my hubby...our local team

I had to shave it alot....but it was fun!

------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been creating lots of art thru procreate....these are a few ..

a Blue candy land piece...class form Mindy Lacefield.

I love gingerbread men.  I'm going to be offering prints of my work soon.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Davy has been very naughty...getting felt from my studio....beating it up and playing with it.

He is such a cutie!

This is a sneak peak... of some valentine projects coming soon.

These were some of my favorite projects thru the year.

We had a great Christmas!

I hope your new year will be awesome!

Happy December to you!

It's that beautiful time of year....Christmas is coming and Hanukkah too.  All the lovely holidays.

We just got a ton of snow here in Eastern Washington.  It's like a winter wonderland.  We got a snow blower just in time.

Things are feeling much more calm for me....so thankful for that.

I love peace and tranquility.

I made a new christmas collage sheet called Christmas is...

I hand drew all these on procreate....some of my process videos are on my instagram.

They are in my etsy shop now

You can print them off and use them over and over. Print these on photo paper, sticker paper or matte presentation paper for best results.

This is a sheet with super cute characters: a Santa girl with her cat, Frosty the snowman, candy cane tree, retro angel, stocking, happy tree, candles, gingerbread man, baby its cold outside snowman, lil ornament, fun sayings and words.

I made them into fun ornaments

Sweet Santa girl and her kitty

my favorite ... the snowman with candy cane tree...

Retro Angel...

Happy tree..

I have made a fun free video on how to make them into ornaments....the example is an easter collage sheet of mine , but the tips are the same 

Supplies you may need are: scraps of cardboard (from a box), glue stick, scissors, glue that dries clear, trims and glitter.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also made some really cute gift tags...

You can print these however many times you like and use them for years.

I drew all kinds of shapes and sizes.

I printed mine on sticker paper and cut them out.

Then I started wrapping and used the gift tags ....peeled off the sticker back and all done.

They are fine on regular card stock too. I keep my gift tags in a little box on the table when wrapping.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are some other pieces I have been working on...

Snow miser and heat miser from "The year without a Santa Claus".  

I love that show when I was a little kid.

They cracked me up!  

I loved how they would fight until mother nature stepped in...lol.

This is part of my candles and my snowman.... I took classes on procreate on skillshare and have really learned alot.  I have never had an Ipad before.  I have had a lot of adobe illustrator though.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just made another rug...a snowman and tree.

I have the rug tufting gun to do it...look on Amazon for the supplies or Youtube to see people's videos.

You put your fabric on a frame and draw the design...and get your yarn out and rewind it into a cake ball.

Here is mine next to selina's one.... she made her cat Midnight. See the yarn balls?

After completing the design you have to glue it.

I add a nonskid backing and shave it.

Crazy huh?

It's so much fun.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I made...

I hand painted some ornaments....

they are in my etsy shop now.  If they sell out I will make more.

Santa kitty.

Rudolph...

Elf

Lil girl..Do you want to build a snowman?

Frosty the snowman.

These are plastic so they won't break.

---------------------------------------------------------

Lil Davy is wishing you a wonderful holiday season...

Trix says to be careful when driving in the snow.

I'm wishing you JOY!
