PRINTABLE VINTAGE LITTLE DEER GIFT TAGS

Vintage Deer Images from roadsidepictures' photostream on Flickr

Hello, friends!  I'm sorry for the lack of posting but unfortunately I've been under the weather.  I'm hoping to get posting a bit more frequently again soon.  To thank you for patiently waiting and for keeping tuned into my blog, I wanted to share these printable vintage deer gift tags with all of you.  I found some Christmas vintage epherma on Flickr and thought that these adorable fawn images would make really cute gift tags!  I've resized them and made them into a printable pdf which you can download below.  There are three tags of each image per sheet, so 6 tags in all.  If you have a good colour printer then you can print them on cardstock at home, or you can take them to a print shop and have them do the colour printing for you. Cut them out and punch a hole and add some twine to tie them to your gifts, or you can just tape them on your wrapped packages - whatever works for you!  Enjoy!

FREE PRINTABLE: MINIECO.CO.UK DIY ADVENT CALENDAR

I love a good advent calendar - It's a great excuse to eat a piece of chocolate every day!  I was searching the web to try to find a really unique DIY version as I thought an advent calendar big enough to incorporate little toys and trinkets would be a nice change to the chocolate-only advent calendars that you can purchase nowadays.  After quite a bit of searching I stumbled upon this AMAZING printable DIY advent calendar from Minieco.co.uk.  You can view some more photos and get the printable files and instructions by clicking here.  Looks a bit time consuming but I think having all those wonderfully coloured little triangles to open each day would make it well worth the effort!  You could include chocolate money, stickers, little jokes, hard candy, rings, fun erasers, plastic army figures, temporary tattoos or anything you can think of that will fit in these lovely, little triangle packages.  Happy crafting!
