The folks at Cardstore.com e-mailed me the other day to ask if I’d check out their site. “Why yes”, I replied, “I’d love to”. Although I already had holiday card plans I didn’t in fact, have gift tags on hand.
In a perfect world, I’d make every aspect of the gifts on my Christmas giving list. Alas though, as a working gal with deadlines, and a mom of 3 children to enjoy the season with, that’s not always realistic. Thanks to Cardstore.com however, I was able to infuse a wee bit of handmade goodness into each and every present I hand out. I created customized gift tags, using a photo I took of the Amigurum-tree Ornament I crocheted–and in 3, easy steps they were ready to order! Here’s how:
1. Upload desired photo to their website.
2. Choose from one of their many, card templates.
3. Edit and insert photo into tag template.
Finished Tag!
Pretty cute, eh? I think I’ll head back to create Thank You postcards to match!
When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!...
The sample yarn for both palettes of this year’s 12 Days of YAY! Advent Box have arrived. I cannot wait for stitchers to open up a new color everyday!
I don’t want to spoil the shade surprises, but I can share just how much yarn we’re sending you this year — FIFTEEN mini hanks of beautifully hand dyed yarn, by two rad boss-lady dyers.
Historically, we have sold out of these so I’d you’re prone to FOMO, be sure to pre-order tour 12 Days of YAY!
Nineteen years into this knitting career, it’s crazy-pants that I’ve never had Learn to Knit or Learn to Crochet kits before. So, I finally made it happen. If you know someone, or ARE someone that wants to learn — while also making something wearable— check out our new hats and scarves kits in the YarnYAY! Shop!
