Christmas Gift Tags

Hi Friends! I hope you’re having a nice weekend so far! I don’t often blog on the weekends but I wanted to share some gift tags with you, in case you wanted to make some too (Sundays are always nice days to stamp and relax). As some of you may know, I volunteer at our local Activity Centre, which is a workshop for clients with intellectual disabilities. Each month we make cards together that are then sold, along with their fabulous baked goods! I love supporting & helping such an important non-profit organization – and we have so much fun too! Last week we were planing on making Christmas tags, but due to busy schedules and their bustling holiday season with their bakery, we weren’t able to get together. So yesterday I stamped and assembled the tags for them. I thoroughly enjoyed creating these tags and love how they turned out. Some of the products I used are retired, but one can easily improvise using what you have on hand.

1. Run 4″ x 1 3/4″ piece of card stock through the Big Shot using the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder. Use Tag Topper Scallop Punch on one end and add a ribbon.
2. Stamp image from Spirited Snowmen with Stazon Black ink onto Whisper White card stock. Use aqua painter and ink pads to colour. Ink heart image from “Apron of Love” set with Poppy Parade marker and stamp onto snowman. Cut with 1 3/4″ circle punch; use stampin’ dimensionals to add to card. 
3. Stamp sentiment onto scrap piece of cardstock, trim into banner and glue to tag.
4. Add Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to snowman’s hat.
5. Spritz tag with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (mixed in a spray bottle with Rubbing Alcohol).
6. Stamp ‘To and From’ on Whisper White card stock and cut with Pretty Label Punch. Glue to back of tag.
