Stylish Christmas Gift Tags-how to

Did someone say Gift Tags?!

Adding a hand made gift tag to any package can really make a gift extra special! Here are some samples of ones that I made using the Cheerful Tags Stamp set from Stampin' Up!

What you will need to complete this project:

  • Pre cut tags or cut your own using a tag punch or die and (Whisper white) card stock
  • Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler ink
  • Cheerful Tags Stamp set and a clear stamp block
  • Clear Embossing Powder
  • Heat Tool
  • Coordinating ribbons and embellishments



Steps to achieving this look:

  1. cut or punch out Tags
  2. choose stamp and mount on clear block
  3. tap stamp on ink pad a few times lightly
  4. line up where you want the image to go and then firmly press the stamp onto the tag with even pressure
  5. with ink still fresh and moist pour the clear embossing powder on image and gently shift powder over the image to ensure complete coverage, then gently tap off excess powder (onto a sheet of paper or coffee filter works nicely also)
  6. Using the heating tool gently wave the unit back and forth about 10-20 centimetres away from the image (i fixed mine onto a wooden clipboard to be sure not to burn my fingers!) the image will turn shiny when it is done.
  7. let it set for a few minutes
  8. add ribbons and embellishments
