Christmas Tags

Published by Julia Stainton at 5:45 am under Card Designs, Cornish Heritage Farms, Papercraft projects

I love hand-crafted tags for special Christmas gifts. Whether you make them super simple or a little more elaborate…they really add a special look to the gift. The Night Before Christmas set was designed to make great holiday tags and I have a couple of samples to share with you today.

You’ve already gotten a peek at this little no peeking stamp before. Actually… the sentiment and image are separate so that you can switch up the sentiments or images. This tag is simply stamped and put together to make it easy to make a large quantity of them.

No Peeking

Stamps: Night Before Christmas (The Rummage Bin line) by CHF
Ink: Black Memento ink by Tsukineko
Paper: kraft cardstock by Bazzill, Wassail 6×6 paper pad by Basic Grey
Other: ribbon by May Arts

Glitter Tag

This glitter enhanced snow scene shows another image from the stamp set. I created the tag by die cutting some Nestability Label shapes from patterned paper and then sanding the edges for definition. The glitter was super quick to adhere with Glossy Accents and I colored in the little holly border with Copic markers.
