Holiday Gift Tags…

Oct 27, 2009

These are so fun to make and can be used as either a hol­i­day gift tag (who wouldn’t like see­ing their name on the front of these tags) or as an embell­ish­ment for hol­i­day cards. There are lots of pos­si­bil­i­ties here. Which means you’re cer­tainly going to be see­ing more projects over the next few months using these as well as this one and this one. I love just them!

Instruc­tions: Stamp images onto white heavy weight card­stock using Archival Ink in Jet Black, trim each stamped image to 1 1/8″ x 2 3/4″, ink over images using Tea Dy and Vin­tage Photo Dis­tress Inks, trim the end of each tag using small scal­lop scis­sors, accent the sides, top and bot­tom of each tag with straight lines using a black pen, accent each scal­lop using small self adhe­sive gold gems, accent the images using Dia­mond Stick­les and iri­des­cent glit­ter, cut Kraft paper to 1 1/4″ x 2 7/8″ attach to Kraft paper, using a strong liq­uid adhe­sive attach stamped images to Kraft paper, set a small gold eye­let and cre­ate a hanger using red and white baker’s twine.

Note: I applied Glossy Accents to the back of the Holly Leaves then attached vin­tage sheet music.

Tomor­row, I will be post­ing a lit­tle vin­tage inspired project to get you ready for my “A Very Vin­tage Christ­mas” work­shop. Cass and Laura at Paper Tales Inc. are super busy ship­ping out all the vin­tage good­ies that peo­ple are pur­chas­ing. I even heard the words “Nearly Sold Out” on a few items. It is going to be such a fun work­shop… can’t wait for Monday.
