I cut a second tag in the same print to give the backs of my tags a finished look and then stamped my "to" and "from" on the back. I finished the set by adhering a ribbon bow and adding little dots of stickles to give the look of twinkly lights. I love pulling out ribbon for tags because I don't need to send these through the mail so it doesn't matter how bulky they are. Love that sense of freedom (and using up a tiny bit of my huge ribbon stash).
Up next is a pair of tags using the adorable hedgehog from our mini Hedgey Holidays Stamps. I cut my tags from some red gingham paper from our Holiday Cheer Paper pack and then cut a stitched circle from a pink snowflake print from that same paper set. I popped up my hedgies using some foam pop dots and scattered some snowflakes around them using our Snowflake Circle Frame Dies. As a final finishing touch I pulled out some old school red We R Memory Keeper eyelets from my stash and threaded them with some pink twine.
Here's a look at the back of my tags. While I'll often die-cut two tags and adhere them together back-to-back to make them sturdy and look beautiful on both sides, I thought the print on the back of my red gingham paper worked with my color scheme. My tags also were already quite thick with the three layers of cardstock so I decided to just heat embossed my "to" and "love" onto the back using our Season's Greetings Stamps.
For my last set of gift tags today I used Mr. & Mrs. Claus with a boy and girl elf from our North Pole Stamps and Dies. I pulled out my Build-a-Tag 2 dies and cut out the blue tone-on-tone Christmas print from our Very Merry Paper pack.
I kept my tags fairly simple making sure to leave room to stamp my "to" and "love" using our Inside Greetings Holiday Stamps. I added a little snowy hill for them using our Slimline Nature Border dies and die-cut some hearts as an accent using the mini hearts from our Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 and some red striped paper from our Striped Silly Paper pack.
