Gingerbread and Peppermint Easy Gift Tags

As a demonstrator, we often buy multiple packages of Designer Series Paper because there are one or two sheets we fall in love with. Usually, each 12'" x 12" package only has 2 sheets per package. The 6" x 6" stacks often have between 4 and 6 of the same pattern. If we are planning for a class, multiple sheets are always needed. So what do you do with the rest of the paper in the package? Make tags!

I made over 40 package tags with Kraft Paper and assorted Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Papers. The twine I used is not a Stampin' Up! item, but I had a big spool, so wanted to use some up.

The kraft paper tags are 2" x 4". The Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series paper was cut to 1-3/4" x 3-3/4". Using the Gingerbread and Peppermint Dies made quick work of die-cutting the bell, ornament, and snowflake images. Stamp your favorite holiday greeting on Cinnamon Cider cardstock in Real Red ink, then punch out with the Double Oval Punch. Raise both the image and oval up on dimensionals. Use a regular hole punch for the twine to go through at the top.

I was able to group the tags into sets and give them away as thank you gifts to my customers earlier this month. They loved them! You know you don't have to always use them on packages, they can also be tied around the neck of a wine bottle or hand soap dispenser for easy gift giving. So many possibilities! Your friends and family will love the creativity and care that went into these tags. Make a bunch!

Pillow Box Die Table Favors to Make

Stampin' Up!s Pillow Box Die is going to be a keeper for a long, long time in my die collection.  It can be used for many, many things. A table favor filled with candy, to sell at a craft show filled with chapstick, or for gift cards and more!

My sample was made using Kraft paper and a small piece of the Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper. The ribbon I used is retired, but any narrow ribbon will do.

I am going to recommend that you use a small 1" circle punch to punch a half circle in each of the end flaps just to make it easier to open if you are using thicker paper.

You can order the pillow box die here.

These three photos are from the July-Dec. 2021 Mini Catalog to help inspire you.

In case you missed my October post about using the pillow box die as a gift card holder, here's the link,

This pillow box die isn't just for Christmas, it can be used all year round! Think about all the possibilities! Once you make one, you won't be able to stop!
