Yes I know that isn't a very cheery sentiment but I wish there was just one week more to put everything together. G's family is doing a homemade Christmas this year which I would usually love but as usual we are still pulling things together last minute and I have shopping still left to do for my niece and nephews. Ok end of whine.
Part of G's gift to his family is homemade candies. He's made fudge, peanut brittle and hard candies to go along with all the other gifts. I wanted the packaging for his treats to have a crafty and homemade look to it so we created gift tags, envelope stickers, and package bands inspired by Swedish embroidery patterns. I love the way they turned out and its not just because I got to incorporate graph paper into the design, but that was a big plus!
I thought you might enjoy them as well so I have made them all available for download. We made the template for the gift band label blank so you can personalize them by hand or with stamps, as well as some bands without labels that you can piece together for larger packages. The tags are setup so you just have to print the same pdf on the front and back and everything will line up. The punch I used for the tag is 2.5inches and for the stickers 1in.
Happy Holidays!
Oh by the way, aren't the felted acorns awesome?!?! They are made by Reya Veltman and you can get them here.

Wow. You are way ahead of me! I've not even thought about any gifts yet. Nor have I ordered the turkey that I am going to cook for christmas day dinner! Now I'm worried!
I really like your swedish embroidery inspired gift tags!
