Handmade Gift Tags for the Holidays

I love using the Tailor Made Tags dies from Stampin' Up!®, scraps of patterned paper, and various stamp sets to create handmade gift tags for Christmas. They are easy to make and I love combining different stamp sets to create different looks. For this first set, I used the Jingle Jingle Jingle and Framed & Festive stamp sets. But I used a bunch of different Christmas stamp sets for the tags below.

Do you love wrapping presents and making them extra special for each person? Or do you want to personalize some gift bags? Handmade tags are perfect! They are like a mini greeting card on every gift.

I shared how to make a couple of these tags during this week's YouTube live. If you missed it, check out the replay to see how easy it is to make these fun Christmas Gift Tags.

And of course, I have lots more photos for you below. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Fa la la la Christmas Tags

Almost all of the tags I made used the same basic color scheme of Crumb Cake, Real Red, White, and Green. I started by cutting a bunch of tags using the Tailor Made Tags dies. Since these come in two different shapes and multiple sizes, I cut multiple tags with each roll through the die-cutting machine. I also cut partial tags from scraps of the Gingham Cottage patterned paper to layer on the tags.

These two tags use the Christmas Season and Framed & Festive stamp sets.

Jolly Santa Tags

Isn't this little Santa tag adorable? I based him off of several examples that I found online, so maybe you've already seen this idea too! I cut his face from Pale Papaya cardstock and added a little Flirty Flamingo ink to his cheeks with a sponge dauber.

To give his beard some texture, I embossed it with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Can you guess what I used for his mustache? It's pieces from the Songbird Builder punch. How cool is that!

Snowy Holly Tags

For this holly and berry tag, I used the Holly Berry dies and cut the detail leaves from the Gingham Cottage patterned paper in Garden Green. I stamped a sentiment from the Boughs of Holly stamp set on the Crumb Cake tag.

I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set for the snowflake tag. I stamped the snowflakes in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia. I cut apart a Crumb Cake tag embossed with the Gingham embossing folder to add as accent to the bottom of the tag.

Candy Cane Wishes Tags

My final two tags use the Jingle Jingle Jingle stamp set. I also added a sentiment from the Candy Cane Wishes stamp set for the Crumb Cake tag.

I love the way it looks to layer a smaller tag with a larger tag. It just gives it a little extra pizzazz.

For all of these tags, I threaded Red & Green ribbon through the hole at the top of the tag. Then, I pulled apart a piece of Silver-Threaded Twine and tied to pieces around the ribbon. This is an easy way to add ribbon to the top of the tag.
