Hello, dear friends, and happy December! Amanda here. I can hardly believe we’ve already made it to the last month of the year — and that Christmas is only 23 days away! Since we’re in full holiday mode, I thought it would be the perfect time to share some gift tags I made featuring the sweetest little critters. These tags are sure to bring a smile to anyone who finds one attached to their gift!
To create the tags themselves, I reached for the Stitched Arch Dies and made my own DIY tag shape. After die-cutting, I simply used a hole punch to add the opening at the top for the twine.
Next, I grabbed a mix of patterned papers from the All is Bright paper pack. The colors and designs in this collection are so cheerful and festive that it made it really easy to create tags that look joyful and cohesive. I layered different patterns together to give each tag its own unique little personality, while making them coordinate well with one another.
For the critters, I stamped images from the Holiday Express, Happy Owlidays, and Penguin Party stamp sets. These sets are full of adorable cuties and fun holiday elements! I colored everything with Copic markers to bring them to life and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out!
When it came to the sentiments, the Build-a-Greetings: Holidays stamp set was absolutely perfect. I wanted greetings that would fit nicely on small tags, and this set gave me so many options. I stamped the sentiments onto black cardstock using my WOW! embossing pad, sprinkled on white embossing powder, and melted it with my heat tool for that crisp, shiny finish. After that, I trimmed them into cute little strips with my paper trimmer and used scissors to round the corners or create banner ends. Once all the pieces were ready, I adhered the critters and sentiments to the tags using 3D foam squares. I love the dimension they add!
To add a touch of winter magic, I took a small tool with a ball end and dipped it into white acrylic paint to create tiny snowy dots across each tag. I love the effect the snow brings to each tag! After the paint dried, the final step was tying on the twine. I chose twine that coordinated beautifully with the colors from the All is Bright papers!
And that wraps up today’s project! I absolutely loved putting these little tags together — they’re quick, fun, and the perfect way to dress up your holiday gifting with a handmade touch. I hope this inspires you to create some of your own festive tags this season. Thank you so much for hanging out with me today, and I can’t wait to share even more Christmas creations with you leading up to the holidays!
