I love giving gifts! And that’s kind of funny, because if you’ve ever heard of the 5 Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman, “Gifts” aren’t my primary love language. Coffee, yes, absolutely coffee is my love language😂. But I digress...
I’ve shared many times that the thing I love most about Stampin’ Up! are the cute ways you can package gifts and treats. And so I wanted to share these gift tags I whipped out in less than hour. Truth be told it will take longer to write this blog post than it did to make the 5 tags!
The Stitched Nested Label dies make perfect tags, and I embellished them with the bird image from Free As A Bird, and then a Stitched Shape circle stamped with the For You sentiment from Let It Ride.
If you are a horse lover, you need that set in your life! It’s got some great sentiments as well, and I love the font.
Just a touch of color was added to the birds with watercolor pencils. The hardest part about making these? Fussy cutting those birds! But it’s all good. They are going to be tied to some mini Cream Cheese pound cakes. The tags will make them even yummier😊
Tips and Tricks:
- Fussy-cutting isn’t at hard as it looks. Move the paper, not your scissors, and leave about a 1/16” border around the image. This makes the eye see the line of the stamp border and camouflage any mistakes in your cutting
- Add dimension to your project with, what else, dimensionals!
- Reinforce tag holes with a 1/2” circle of coordinating card stock
