Christmas Tags

When it comes to Christmas cards, I'm more of a Christmas tags kind of girl. I just love the look they add to the overall packaging / gift giving experience. Using the same tags as a base and similar types of embellishments (die cuts, doilies) makes it easier to create pretty little tags quickly.


 
Merry Christmas Tag

Cut your background paper to the width and desired length for your tag and adhere to the tag.  Add a scallop border to the top and bottom of the background paper.  Add a die cut sentiment over a gold doily and adhere to the tag. Top with additional embellishments as you please.
 
Joy Tag

Cut your background paper to the width and desired length and adhere to the tag.  Add gold glitter tape to the top and bottom of the background paper.  Add a die cut sentiment over a gold doily and add Gold Zazz! glitter glue for more sparkle.
 
Christmas Tree Tag

Cut your background paper to the width and desired length for your tag and adhere to the tag.  I chose a paper with sentiments printed since I was using a die cut that did not include a sentiment. Cut a small gold doily in half and wrap around so the ends meet in the center. Cover the back of the tag with a coordinating paper to cover the doily seams in the back..  Wrap the Christmas tree die cut with gold twine to resemble strands of tinsel on a tree. Adhere the tree to the tag and voila!
