One of my favorite things about the holidays is the gifts and gift wrapping details. Every year I try to come up with a unique way of identifying whose gifts are whose. I thought the Fiskars Christmas Squeeze Punches would add a fun and festive touch. I simply punched an XL Squeeze Punch Round n' Round twice, and then used the I Pine for You Christmas Squeeze Punch on one of the circles, making sure that the other circle is double-sided. I machine stitched around the design twice and then used either the Pinking Edger or Scallop Edger around the edges. Adding a sticker with the recipients initial on the back side. Then use the Circle Hand Punch at the top and string ribbon through the hole. I used Heidi Grace Christmas and Winter Pattern Papers, and Heidi Grace Ribbons.
