Holiday Tag Ideas

Do you ever find yourself looking for the perfect tag for a gift? Or do you ever find yourself short some tags? Have you ever considered stretching your digital stash and taking a hybrid approach for gift tags? Or maybe, you need some ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Well, I sure am glad you stopped by. I have several tag ideas that I want to share with you. This is just a glimpse of the options that you have with all those fantastic designs in your stash. While my tags are focused on the upcoming holiday seasons, tags are universal to all gifts/occasions and the RIGHT tag is the PERFECT accessory to any gift.

This first tag is one of the easiest hybrid tags to create. I used an actual tag from Becca Bonneville’s Holiday Hoopla Stickers pack and then layered word art from NBK Design Unwrap the Magic Word Art. I would like to note, that I did add a slight drop shadow to the word art prior to printing to give a little more depth.

​

I do love Christmas Trees. This particular tree was worthy of being its own tag, add a little bit of word art and see what you have? "Oh Christmas Tree!"

​

I love layered tags, the dark background paper with the plaid accent really created a fantastic contrast. I HAD to use this super adorable car with the tree on top as my focal point, I added 3d adhesives to it, to make it pop up from the background just a tad. I thought the word strip was a fun add to the “tear” off section at the bottom.

​

Any 3D lovers here? If so, you will love this 3D Christmas Tree approach. The bottom layer of the tree is actually flat, so it will fit nicely up against most gifts. This one is a fun way to use all those gorgeous papers without worrying about adding to many elements.

​

This next tag will most likely be a winner among the kiddos. I particularly enjoying using the "naughty" portion of the list to give my daughter a hard time. If you are thinking...."ummmmm, how do I make this happen?" Have no fear, there's a template to help you along. I used one of Liz' new templates to create this layered tag look.

​

For the last tag idea that I want to share with you, this will really call to all the mixed media lovers that we have. Yes, this tag truly is hybrid. It encompasses some strategic printing, adding some texture paste and white paint splatters to complete the look.

​

And.... are you curious to see one of these tags on a gift....(yes, I had to make sure it was color coordinated as well).

​

I hope these tag ideas inspired you. All the tags are linked back to the gallery so you can see all the designs that were used to create them and little bit more about the creative process.

If you have any questions about my process or curious to know more about the hybrid approach feel free to drop your questions below. Don't be surprised if you see different responses as we all have our own unique way of approaching things.

While this is NOT a challenge, I'd still love to see any hybrid tags that you create, so feel free to share below and link back to the gallery so I can go there and leave you some love.
