I dunno about y'all, but at my house we've entered Holiday Crunch Time. While I can still do handmade, I'm all outta' time for fancy. Speed stamping to the rescue! It always surprises me how many tags I can bust out in a smidge of time with this approach! *fist pump*
The Mission: Quickly generate a stack of gift tags for my holiday packages that are attractive but not time or labor intensive.
The Plan:
- Score an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet into 8 equal sections: With the paper vertical, score down the entire length of the center of the paper at 4.25". Rotate the paper, and score at 2.75, 5.5" and 8.25"
- Use the score lines as guidelines for mass stamping your design
- Cut the tags along the score lines; punch holes, add twine and Bob's yer Uncle!
In hindsight, once I had cut apart the tags, I wished I had first applied a little strip of glitter tape along the bottom edges of the tag. It was easy to add after the fact, but it would have been amazingly fast if I had thought to do it prior to cutting them all apart.

Can you get even fancier? Your call. At this stage of the Holiday game, I tend to embrace CAS even more so... *chuckle*
Holly Jolly Mundane! *wink* And, wishing you a joyous, peaceful and safe Christmas with those you hold nearest and dearest to your heart!
