Holiday Gift Tags with Bobbi and Cathy

Have you hung your stockings by the chimney with care? It’s Bobbi here with two stockings to hang, but these are for hanging on your gifts! Every year we hang stockings on our fireplace and fill them with little items for the twins. Those are the first gifts they open on Christmas day. Sometimes the little gifts are too big for the stocking so these tags will be perfect to use. 

The first stocking is made from coordinated pattern papers from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pack. It features a large, stamped Holiday Greetings stamp sentiment, cut out using the coordinating dies. I added the holly and bow from the Santa's Stocking die set and a few peppermint candies using dies from the Gingerbread House die set. I embossed the white 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock accent pieces – reinforced toe, heel and top stocking band – using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder. How cute is that cable knit design?!

I added red faux stitching on the white accent pieces (so you could see it) and stitched the outer edges using white thread and my sewing machine. Because this stocking is larger, I wanted to avoid having to turn the tag over when on the gift. Instead, I attached the smallest tag from the Stitched Arch Dies to the holly bouquet at the band and stamped a “to/from” on the tag in black. The “to/from” stamps are from the Season’s Greetings Sentiments stamp set. There are several styles to choose from which are really awesome to have for your tags.

For my second stocking, I used many of the same products to create this festive tag. Notice the tab for hanging the stocking at the top. I simply cut a strip from the two-sided pattern paper and attached it with glue. Both stockings have a white die cut backing, allowing the tab to be glued between the stocking die cuts for a clean finish.

The candy canes, holly and berries are part of the Santa's Stockings die set. I added another to/from tag to the candy cane accent. These stockings are adorable and big enough to add names to the band to personalize. Keep the top open and it becomes a festive gift card holder, too!

Hey friends! Cathy here today and with Christmas just days away, I’m sharing some cute and quick-to-make gift tags!

For these tags, I’ve used the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies and I started by die-cutting the tag from a medium weight light gray cardstock for a little extra stability. Next, I die-cut the tag again from white cardstock and inked a sky with Speckled Egg Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment on each tag using the Lazy Christmas Stamps, Penguin Party Stamps, and Bear Hugs Stamps. I cut the bottom scalloped portion of the tags off and adhered them to the gray tag bases.

 

Next, I die-cut patterned papers from the All is Bright Paper and Joyful Holiday Paper using the thin strip and tag topper dies and adhered them to the tags. For the snowdrift on each tag, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die 3 times from white cardstock, adhered a “sand” portion of the die-cut across the bottom of each tag and trimmed the excess from the sides of the tags.

 

I stamped the polar bears from the Bear Hugs Stamps and the Santa hats from the Reindeer Games Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and fussy cut each image. Those little Santa hats fit so many Sunny Studio critters and look so cute!

 

To finish, I die-cut hole protectors from gray cardstock using a die from the Mini Mat & Tag 4 Dies and tied some sparkly ribbon to each tag. I stamped some holly and berries from the Holiday Greetings Stamps, die-cut them using the coordinating dies and adhered them to the top of each tag. For a little extra bling, I adhered Pure White Jewels over the holes on each tag topper.

 

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
