Today, it’s about gift tags. The problem with tags is that they don’t get very much attention. When you give a handmade card, it is the gift. It’s the center of attention. When you give a handmade tag, it’s just a label for the center of attention. Don’t get me wrong – I still want it to look nice and handmade, but I’d rather spend more time on cards that will make more of an impact. Last year I made shaker tags, so if you still want to go all out on the tags, there you go. 🙂

On Friday afternoon, I realized I needed some tags for presents I was bringing with me to a party that night. I thought, “Oh, I’ll just throw something simple together”. Oh, if only things were that simple. It took me awhile to come up with something simple. But once I had the design down, the tags were really quick to make. The tags are little mini-cards that open up for your message.

I thought you guys might benefit from this tag design. I don’t create well under pressure, so if I had this design already done, it would have been soo much easier.

All you need is a stamp set and matching dies. Here are some close-ups of ones I made with Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Pines:

I also made some tags using the same idea, but without the stamp set. I had this snowflake die, so I just used silver glitter paper underneath. For the blue one, I created the glitter paper using Versamark ink and some Vintage Peacock glitter embossing powder.

I dry-embossed the white panel with the Falling Snow embossing folder.

Enjoy the super-quick video and have a great day.
