First home gathering

My first home gathering was a small one, but a good one!  We had a blast making simple Christmas tags to use on our Christmas presents and holiday gifts.

Guests were excited to use a full range of ink colours so they were creative and did their own things with the tags.  They also used other holiday themed stamp sets to create the looks they wanted.

The tag design (a CTMH gathering project design) that inspired it all:




Materials and tools used:
Paper: Frosty B&T Duo and Colonial White cardstock
Stamps: Holiday Tags (D1560)
Inks: Slate (Z2173) and Champagne (Z2174)
Accessories: Clear sparkle flourishes
Die cut tags: Cricut Artiste collection (Z1790)



Below are the tags made by my guests at the party.  (My apologies the pictures were taken on a cell phone in unfavourable lighting.)





Even  my husband got in on the fun.  (In fact, I think he had more fun than anyone playing with the Glitter gel, stamps and inks).
