This holiday season, make your gifts look extra special and thoughtful with a lovely holiday gift tag! They are so easy to make, and don’t require much time at all. Your digital scrapbooking supplies are perfect for this simple craft…and simple crafts are the best kind, especially during a busy holiday season. I decided to create my holiday gift tags as both standard one sided cards and as folded cards. Each style allows me space to write a heartfelt note, on the inside of the folded card or the back side of the flat card.
This is a project that lends itself to so much creativity as you can customize the gift tags and cards to any occasion and personalize them to your recipient’s style. You can also easily create dozens of tags and cards in one sitting, so that they are ready to use whenever needed!
To create my gift tags and cards, I used the Cozy Winter Digital Scrapbooking Kit from Paislee Press. I created the cards in Photoshop and printed them on cardstock on my home printer. I added some washi tape and ribbon and in less than an hour, I had several holiday tags and gift cards that I’m excited to use this year!
This is what my elements and flat cards looked like in Photoshop. For the elements, I used scissors to fussy cut the images and then used pop dots to adhere some of them to the flat cards for a bit of dimension.
For the folded cards, I simply placed my designs at the bottom of my page. After printing, I cut the paper in 3 columns and folded them on the middle so that the blank paper became the inside of the top folding card. Now I have a space to write a note to the recipient!
After printing and cutting, I punched holes for the ribbon and added washi tape. A completed project and now I’m ready to wrap some gifts!
I hope this inspires you to get creative with your digital scrapbooking supplies – this is such a fun and inexpensive way to create some added sparkle for any gifts you may give this holiday season, or any time throughout the year!
