I’m getting ready for a Christmas craft fair on December 1st. One of my best selling items last year was gift tags. So I am cranking out the tags and I thought I’d show you a few…
This is one of the sets of four that I’m putting together. I’ve used the stamp set called Nothing Sweeter with the holiday DSP called Festive Farmhouse. Here is a second set…
This stamp set comes bundled with Sweetly Stitched Framelits Dies. I stamped, cropped, and glued the “cookie” shapes to a 2″ punched circle. The tags are 2″x 6″, scored at 1-1/2″, and punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I want to credit Connie Babbert with this tag design. The bottom drops down to reveal the To and From for the gift! Here’s a closer look…
When you add the circle to the tag with Dimensionals, it leaves a little lip to hold the tag closed. Open it up and you get…
Isn’t that cute?!!! The main piece of DSP is 2″x 4-1/2″, glued above the score line. Then glue a coordinating piece of DSP measuring 2″ x 1″ at the very top, overlapping the other DSP. Punch through all three layers with the Tag Topper Punch. Add ribbon and some blingy embellishments, and you have a cute, handmade tag.
Here is one more close up of a tag with the gift stamp…
I stamped the gift with Real Red, outlined with Cherry Cobbler, and the tiny snowflake adds the bling.
This set is especially cute with homemade bakery treat gifts. There is a stamp that says, “Baked with Love” that is perfect for adding to that plate of cookies for your neighbors!

I love these tags as well as the ones you did at the later date. Ha Ha! Figure that one out? Just kidding! I saw your later post first, then moved to this, your first post. Could you send me Connie Babbert blog address so I can sign up for her blog? Thank you very much, for all your blog postings and being there when someone needs you!
Ha! Thanks, Gloria! Connie’s address is inkspiredtreasures.com.
Oh darn it, I have been on the fence about this set and now I know I want them. I think the dies would be a benefit since they add the little stitching touches etc. I used to make little felt stitched tags so this just seems perfect for me. OK you convinced me. I had missed these on Connie’s blog so I need to go see what she did. I love the look of flannel with them! I don’t have a lot of packages to wrap but I think these would be fun to make and give a set to – just because I can! These are just so darn cute!!!!!
All very cute Karen!
Good Morning Karen, I love these gift tags. I barely write with a magic marker on my gifts. My family is so used to this by now. I don’t mark them to the very last minute so they do not know who they are for and cannot peek. You are never too old to peek.
Have a blessed day.
🙂
Adorable! Tags just bring a smile to my face as they just are the perfect finishing touch to a package…..
