Its gift wrap crunch time! I’ll be honest, I haven’t even started wrapping the kids’ presents….Anyone else in the same boat? I think we’re going to have a Christmas Eve flash wrap session. haha. BUT I have finished up my neighbor gifts. {its a miracle!}

christmas gift tags I won’t lie, my handwriting stinks. As in, I write worse than a man. Seriously. So I cheated on our neighbor gift tags and used my Silhouette CAMEO to write them for me. Lazy or brilliant, you decide!

Christmas Gift Tag Cheat

Thanks to a  little Silhouette Sketch Pen action, all the tags are legible and neat. {although if you look closely, I put the label on crooked on the closest bag. sigh.}

Sketch pens are super easy to use in your Silhouette. Simple remove the cutting blade and insert a sketch pen in the desired color and then flip the blue switch to tighten. When your design is ready to go, simply select the “Silhouette Sketch Pen” setting in the Silhouette Studio software {I use the Designer Edition} and click Cut. Make sure you check the box for Double Cut so you get nice even lettering. I used the White Sticker Paper for my gift tags, but you could also use the Adhesive Cardstock. First I used the sketch pens for the lettering and then I ran it through my Silhouette a second time to cut out the labels with a curvy tag. Then peel off the backing and apply to your gift. Super easy!

So the question is, do you have your Neighbor Gift done? Do you even do Neighbor Gifts? I’d love to hear in the comments below!
