Christmas Gift Tags

Gift-giving season is coming up, which means you will need to wrap up some gifts. And of course, those gifts will need some tags. Sure, you can buy some, but for a scrapbooker, that's Sin 101 :) Take a few minutes and make some gift tags yourself - so quick and easy and of course fun. 3 Birds makes it easy to throw these projects together without too much work. Let me share a couple I made:


Supplies:
Paper and Journaling Sticker: Opposites Attract (Winter)
Stamps: So Many Sentiments
Dimensional Sticker: 3D Embellishment Kit

Instructions:
- Cover a manila tag with paper. You can trace and then cut the paper out, or you can glue the paper to the tag and then cut around it (I did it this way, and I think this is easier).
- Punch a hole where the hole is in the tag and attach a large eyelet (this makes it look more professional).
- Add the 3D sticker
- Add the journaling spot sticker and trim off excess.
- Stamp the "To" and "From" sentiment onto white cardstock and cut out.
- Glue the words to darker paper or cardstock and cut out.
- Glue the words to the tag, then ink tag around the edges.
- Add trim to the bottom.


Paper and Chipboard: Opposites Attract (Winter)
Stamps: So Many Sentiments
Dimensional Sticker: 3D Embellishment Kit

Instructions:
- Cover the Manila Tag with paper, attach large eyelet, ink around the edges.
- Stamp sentiment onto the chipboard and attach to tag.
- Add the dimensional sticker.

And there you have it - super easy and cute tags that will give your gifts that special, personal touch. Also, just wanted to share that I FINALLY got a Cricut! Yay :) I just had to create with the adorable 3 Birds cartridges. So I'm hoping I will have it figured out enough that next time I share here, I will post something with my new machine! Wish me luck!
