This year, with my "crafting hobby" at its height, I decided to make gift tags for some dear parents I've had the chance to work with in the previous years. I know this could come out a little weird, because some of these parents I haven't talked to or seen in three years! But, I took particular note of those parents who were extremely nice and cooperative, those who made an impact on me, and those who continue to inspire me until today. :)
I have some leftover red papers, ran it through my bigshot with the tag die cut. I glued some stickles and tied a short ribbon. I used chalk ink over the letters for them to be more visible.

I also handmade small cards. I stamped a Christmas tree and a star in front, and adhered a "designer" ribbon (the packaging says so, hehe!).

| This may be the best thought out card I've ever made. Haha! Lame me! |
I initially thought of just printing a letter, and just changing it a little bit for each parent. I basically wanted to say the same things, and given that I don't have much time nor the diligence to write nicely, printing is actually the better way to go. But I decided against it later on - handwritten letters still send out the nicest and most genuine of thoughts, I feel.
I then put the tags inside. Turned out my card was a bit small for 10 tags to fit. Hihi! But I managed to put them all in just the same. :)
I already got a couple of thank you's for this and that made me sooooo happy! :)
Merry Christmas, everyone! :)
