New

A couple of challenges are along the lines of this one at Simon says stamp blog Monday Challenge is

'Use a new/unused product'

and Use your stuff has

'All about the new'

I will be entering these tags into all of them.

The design is a new print bundle that I haven't used before.

The middle tag is perfect for the challenge at  These inspired challenges where it is

I know that these tags are very simple but they are all part of my learning process. I have a Silhouette Cameo which although I have had for over a year now I don't get much time to sit down and play with, . so am still getting to grips with it. Recently I made a couple of cards and tags using free design bundles which I printed from my Silhouette having preprogrammed it to cut the tags and rectangles shapes as part of the process. I have done this before when I made stickers for school but this is the first time that I did it without following my instructions step by step. So I am learning!!!

My 2020 gifts

Merry little Christmas challenge  always has the same challenge  

'Anything Christmas goes'

and Krafty chicks challenge has this one

'Any Occasion'

So I am sharing my personal gift wrapping from this year and will be entering the tag in these challenges.

I used plain white paper and blue satin ribbon. To finish I added a sprig of Rosemary and a candy cane.

In retrospect the candy cane wasn't the best idea as between the ants and Durban's humidity I had to wrap each one in cling wrap before putting them under the tree.

The tag is a free download which I added glitter to.

You will find precious gift wrapping ideas here 2019, 2018, 2016, 2015 and 2014
