Free printable gift tags!

I’ve been playing around with patterns making new printable papers and today I have a freebie for you!  These printable gift tags…

The sheet comes as a high resolution 300dpi file and measures 8.5 x 11 inches, each tag measures 3.3 x 1.9 inches.  There are 12 tags on the sheet, in 4 designs – you can download the sheet here… http://sdrv.ms/12ip7j2

Please note that these tags are for personal use only!

I’ve also been trying out some gift wrap ideas with patterned paper to match the tags.  The two packages here were wrapped in brown paper first, then a band of patterned paper added around the middle.  On the larger parcel I also used tracing paper to give a nice translucent effect over the patterned paper, all tied up with string.

The smaller parcel has some braid yarn tied around it.  I love this yarn and bought it from the bargain bin in my local craft shop years ago.  Fancy yarn is great for embellishing gifts and often works out cheaper than buying ribbon (especially when it is on sale!!)

The patterned papers I used on these gifts are from this printable paper set, which is available to buy from my Etsy shop…

6 Free Fonts

Something new I have been trying is downloading fonts to use in my designs.  Here are 6 free fonts I have recently been using…
1. Selfish   2. Mossy   3. Parisienne   4. Nautik   5. Calamity Jane   6. Mathlete
Have you tried downloading fonts before?  It’s much easier than I thought it would be.  If you want to use any of the fonts I’ve shown here, click on the links above and download from the sites I’ve linked to.  Open the compressed file and double click on the font file to open it.  You should then see a button to install the font.  (I use Windows 7 so it might be different for other operating systems.)
