Holiday Tags Gift Set

 Looking for that perfect gift for a teacher or co-worker?  Why not make them a set of holiday tags?  This cute idea came from Rhonda Wade and features many of Stampin' Up's punches.  I LOVE the punches!  I'm afraid some of these products have been so popular that they have completely sold out!  I still wanted to share photos and dimensions because you can always change up the DSP.  In fact, none of my tags look just like the ones Rhonda made.  Her set was my inspiration.  Use these ideas and change them to YOUR liking!

All of the supplies and measurements are listed below.  You can also watch the YouTube playlist below to see me walk you through each tag design:

Snowman Tags

Stamp Set: Snowman Season

Ink: Black Memento and Pool Party stamp pads, Light Pool Party and Dark Pumpkin Pie Blends

Paper: Whisper White, Pool Party card stock; Let it Snow and Feels Like Frost DSP

Embellishments: Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, retired baker's twine.

Tools: Snowman Builder Punch, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch

Directions:

1. Cut Whisper White or Pool Party cardstock at 2" x 7 1/2". Fold in half.
2. Put the folded card into the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, with the fold end going in first.  Before punching, make sure it isn't all the way in.  You need to pull it out enough that the top part doesn't get punched so you can keep the fold.
3. Stamp snowflakes in Pool Party ink on the front and inside of the tags.
4. Cut the DSP into 2" squares and add to the tag fronts.
5. Tie some Polka-dot Tulle ribbon around the front piece of the tag.
6. Stamp your snowman on scrap pieces of white card stock.  Add a little color to the nose and body with Stampin' Blends.  Punch out and attach to the front of the tag with dimensionals.
7. Punch out the arms in Early Espresso card stock and the hat in Basic Black card stock.  Glue your arms to the card base and add the hat with a mini-dimensional.  Cut a tiny strip of Real Red Glimmer paper if you have it for the hat band.  Alternatively, you can add hat, scarves, gloves, or arms from the Snowman Embellishment kit.

Circle Tags

Supply List: 

Stamp Set: Greatest Part of Christmas Host Set, Christmas Gleaming (on one design)

Ink: Memento Black, Seaside Spray

Paper: Whisper White and Seaside Spray Cardstock, Silver Foil Sheets or Feels Like Frost DSP

Embellishments: Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon, Rhinestones

Tools: 2 1/4" Circle Punch, 2" Circle Punch, 1 3/4 Circle Punch, Classic Label Punch

Directions:

1. Cut Seaside Spray card stock to 8 1/2" x 2 3/4" and fold in half. (This is much longer than you need, but it is easier to punch if you have extra).  Line up the fold just shy of the edge of the 2 1/4" punch so that it does not cut the fold completely.
2. Punch a 2" circle layer in either Whisper White Cardstock or Silver Foil Sheets (see photo at the beginning for the two variations).
3. Punch a 1 3/4" circle layer in either Feels Like Frost DSP (silver side) or Whisper White cardstock.
4. If you used the white circle for your top layer, stamp the small ornament from the Christmas Gleaming stamp set in Seaside Spray ink.  Color in with Wink of Stella.
5. Stamp your greeting on scraps of Whisper White or Seaside Spray cardstock and punch out with the Classic Label Punch.  (I sprayed my Seaside Spray card stock with Champagne shimmer paste mixed with alcohol first to make it shine).
6. Attach your greetings with mini-dimensionals and add rhinestones.
7. Make a bow with your Seaside Spray ribbon and add to the top of your tag with a glue dot.
8. Add a 2" white circle to the inside of the tag if desired.

I made two of each tag type, slightly changing the design on each, for a total of 8 tags.  When your tags are complete, add them to your case and your gift is ready to go!
