What’s your favorite style: simple or fancy?
I love fancy, but my favorite style is dependent upon how much time and resources I have to create.
Take the fun Christmas Gift Tag. The same basic tag is presented 3 ways.
Casual Christmas Gift Tag
The standout on this sweet Christmas packaging is the adorable, rustic tag. Once you make the first one, creating multiples is easy. Once you have a punched tag, the simple, casual version uses just the basics of cardmaking: stamps, paper and ink.
Tip: Besides using the ripped paper technique, stamp off the solid trees to add depth. Once you finish stamping, tie the tag to the Mini Shipping Box with a bit of Linen Thread. So cute!
Avid Christmas Gift Tag
The second Christmas Gift Tag is fancied up by adding a variety of stamped embellishments and die cuts. Just run the stamped images through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Warm Wraps Dies, then adhere them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Die-cut Real Red Cardstock trim along with open-weave ribbon and gold metallic trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack were also added for extra charm.
Artfully Avid Christmas Gift Tag
The fancy third Christmas Gift Tag was stepped up by embossing the tag with the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder. Pretty wreath sprig die cuts were then added, and a bit of ink splattering using the Aqua Painter helped finish off the fancy final tag. This tag is so festive you could almost hang it on the Christmas tree!
Whether simple or fancy, the Happy Christmas Gift Tags make any gift extra special. It’s all in the packaging!
