Five Minute Friday: Vintage Christmas Gift Tags
Have your finished all of your holiday shopping? We still have a few more things to get and then we will start the wrapping process. I always love to see all of the pretty presents, decorated with ribbons and bows.
And I love a fun gift tag to finish everything off.
This year, I created vintage Christmas gift tags using a few images from The Graphics Fairy and some Christmas song lyrics.
Just cut them out, punch a hole in the top, and attach to your gifts with a little string.

Holiday Card Display
Each month, we typically take part in a challenge where we have to create a gift for someone from a randomly selected item to be used in the project. This month, the group opted out because of holiday commitments, but I still wanted to share this Holiday Card Display that I came up with. Everyone needs a place to display their holiday cards, right?
To make the holiday card display, I used:
- Plywood (approximately 8.5″ x 13.5″ piece)
- Chain (3 ft.)
- Cup Hook
- Saw Tooth Hanger
- Paint
- Paint Brush
- Freezer Paper
- Printer
- Spoon
- Paper Clips
I started by painting the plywood (a scrap piece my hubby had cut down for me) with white chalk paint. I love the matte finish of chalk paint and it seems to cover with only 1 or 2 coats. Plus, it dries fast. “You can never have too many things which save you precious time” I always say. OK, I don’t really say that, but it sounded good. *wink*
While that dried, I grabbed some freezer paper (possibly the best kept craft secret ever!) and followed this tutorial for an image transfer from Little Bit Funky. The Season’s Greetings design is my own which I whipped up just for this project.
Next, I added the cup hook to the bottom side, as well as a saw tooth hanger to the back so I could easily attach it to the wall. I placed the chain on the cup hook then hung the whole thing up on the wall. Ta-da!
Finally, it was time to add some cards. We’ve only received a couple this year (please send cards), so I opted for some colorful printable cards from Miu Creation to adorn the card holder. Each was easily attached with a paper clip.
Not too shabby, huh?
This is going to be such a fun way to corral all of our Christmas and holiday cards! I can’t wait to see all of those pretty smiling faces staring back at me when I walk past!

My Home Style Blog Hop: Christmas Tree Edition
Welcome to the My Home Style Blog Hop: Christmas Tree Edition hosted by Casa Watkins. I’m so excited to share my Christmas tree style with you. If you are heading over Domicile 37, welcome! Isn’t her style so fun?! If you are new to Elizabeth Joan Designs, welcome to you too. My name is Erin and I blog here with my sister, Emily, where we share all things DIY, decor, crafts, etc.
This post contains affiliate links.
I describe our home style as Neutral Modern Farmhouse and our Christmas tree definitely falls into the same category. I love to keep things simple with clean lines (like in this neutral black and white striped ribbon), but also have a comfortable and collected look. Kind of classic meets contemporary.
Quite a few of the pieces on our tree are handmade, like our Feather Christmas Ornaments…
And the Silhouette Ornaments with our kids on them.
I also used some pine cones from our parents house, which were spray painted and hung on the tree. If you don’t feel like taking the time to make your own, you can always snag some of these white painted pine cone embellishments/ornaments.
Several of our ornaments were purchased to add pop of silver and gold sparkle.
Silver Ball Ornament | Gold Feather Ornament | Glitter Snowflake
To finish off the tree, I added some mercury glass rain drop ornaments from West Elm (no longer available) and tulle/ribbon. The faux white sheepskin on the floor helps make everything feel more cozy. We are still looking for the perfect tree topper, so if you know of something that would work well with our Christmas tree style, let me know!
Thanks so much for stopping by to check out My Home Style Blog Hop: Christmas Tree Edition today!
