Christmas Gift Tags

I hope that those of you in the United States enjoyed Thanksgiving yesterday, spending some quality time with close family to reflect on those things you are thankful for.

With Thanksgiving behind us, that can only mean that Christmas is fast approaching.  I realized that although I have lots of Christmas greeting cards in my Zazzle stores, I didn't have any gift tags at all.

I decided to get started by creating tags with the watercolor snowmen I have enjoyed painting recently.  

This first one features a cheery snowman in a black top hat and red scarf, with golden baubles hanging from his arms.

This next one was inspired by a Christmas candy tin I saw with a cowboy snowman on it. It features a snowman in a cowboy hat and red bandana, with a gold star pinned to his chest and his lariat coiled and ready to toss.

And finally, (yes, I only have three, so far) I created this one with a gold foil wreath on the front.

Other designers on Zazzle, it would seem, have been far more proactive than me, and there are a lot of lovely gift tags to choose from.  I did a little browsing and will showcase some of my favorites here.

 

I love this iconic vintage red truck and Christmas tree gift tag, printed on kraft paper, from Happy Memories Card Co. The front can be customized with your family name and the year.

This buffalo check Christmas photo gift tag, from Whimzy Designs, offers lots of opportunities to customize it.  You can change the color of the check, add your own photo and personalize the name.

This lovely Rustic Snowy Winter Woodland Pine Trees gift tag, from Cottage Lane Designs, features a simple but beautiful watercolor design featuring pine trees in a snowy forest, with the words 'Let it Snow' in elegant script font.

Ceramic Christmas Ornaments

Christmas is approaching, so I thought I would share some of my own ceramic ornaments, as well as those of the talented artists and designers on Zazzle. 

A young foal thinks the snowman's carrot nose is an irresistible treat in my own original artwork, created in Bryce 3D.

Wishing You a Merry Christmas

It's hard to believe Christmas is just around the corner!  Are you ready for the holidays?  I suppose I'm about as ready as I'm going to be for this year.  I had sort of wanted to get more stuff done for my Zazzle store, but you know how it goes... day job gets in the way... life happens... 

So just a short post from me today.  One thing I was able to do was get some Christmas ornaments in my Zazzle store. Here's one of them - with a beautiful Red Cardinal, one of my favorite birds.

And here it is on our Christmas tree this year.

Here's another one - I love these little snowflakes.

Gift Wrap/Wrapping Paper - Perfect for Any Occasion

Okay, so I haven't posted in here since MAY!!!!  No excuses, well unless you count a full time day job, a part time job on an equestrian website and an emerging art career, as well as my Zazzle store, 3D Designs by Jayne.

Other than the day job (pesky things, but one does need to EAT), creating art seems to have taken more priority than actually blogging about it, BUT, I promise to do better in future :-) 

There's no doubt I've been lax at keeping up with the new products at Zazzle this summer.  I completely missed out on the flip flops and I haven't got around to creating any wallets yet.

But this morning, after sweating in the garden for a while, pulling weeds, I started thinking about a white Christmas and decided to create some wrapping paper for my Zazzle store.

I could even make a Christmas card and a gift tag to match, right?

But I digress, we're talking about gift wrap here and the next design I worked on was this simple, yet elegant Christmas tree, on a dark green background.The tree was part of a set of design elements purchased for commercial use, and I had fun placing it on my template so it would tile nicely.

Here's another holiday gift wrap using design elements purchased for commercial use. This one looks like golden jewelry, studded with large blue cabochon jewels.

So I'm having a blast with these today -- and I'm only thinking of Christmas at the moment - the possibilities are endless!

For example, this lovely aqua and green squares gift wrap from RiverJude will work for many occasions and is suitable for gifts for men and women.

This gift wrap from Cutencomfy features the birthday girl or boy's name in neon bright colors on a black background.

And this gift wrap from designer kitandkaboodle (love that name!) features adorable little blue, pink, green and yellow ducks so it's perfect for any baby shower, whether it's for a girl or boy.

This wrapping paper, or gift wrap, has only recently been added to Zazzle, but already there are lots of designs, suitable for many occasions.  I've just scratched the surface here, but now I'd like to get back to making some more for my own store!
