Hi Stampers!
We are less than a month away from Christmas! I can’t believe how quickly time is passing! I thought today we’d take a break from creating cards and create some gift tags. You do not need any special tools to create tags. If you have a paper trimmer, card stock, patterned paper, adhesive - you can create gift tags! If you have dies, embellishments, ribbon, and twine - even better. I do create tags to use myself, but I also create tags to give as gifts, and I create boxes to package the tags. These make great favors for dinner guests, co-workers, teachers, etc. So, let’s get started creating tags!

CREATING GIFT TAGS TO GIVE AS GIFTS OR USE YOURSELF
QUICK & EASY SELF-ADHESIVE GIFT TAGS
SUPPLIES
* Tag base - white or light colored cardstock - cut each at 3 3/8” x 2 1/8”. Leave the corners squared or use corner shaper punches, such as a corner rounder punch.
* To / From stamp -to / from can be hand written with markers if you like.
* Adhesive sheets or other double sided adhesive. I cut adhesive sheets into pieces about 2 1/2” long x 1/4” wide. Peel off the backing on one side of adhesive place it on back of tag.
* Other supplies dies, punches, colored cardstock, patterned paper, dimensionals, etc.

STACKED TAGS / ORNAMENTS
These tags are so much fun to make. They do require stamps with coordinating dies, or stamp images on shapes (circles, squares, etc). Once the images are stamped, colored, and die cut, cut three more of the die cut shape from white or light colored cardstock. Glue a blank shape to the back side of the image. Glue together the other 2 die cuts. Cut 10” of twine or ribbon, adhere to backside of the image put adhesive on the backside of the die cut and adhere the other 2 die cuts to the piece. Stamp to / from of the backside of the piece. These tags resemble chipboard, and can double as ornament.
STAMPS & DIES I USED

* Ear muff snowman - It’s A Wonderful Christmas (Photo Play)
* Five snowmen - Snowmen (Crafter’s Companion)
There you go, a few ideas for creating tags to use yourself or to give as a gifts to others. Tags can be very elaborate, or quick and easy. They always dress up gifts and bring smiles to the recipient!
Thank you for stopping by. Until next time . . .
Stamp Happy!
