This terrific trio of tags by Heather R. has a stamped border with gems along with stamped and colored winter images. To make them really special she added wobbles behind them so they move, so cute! Learn more at the Handmade by Heather blog.
If you enjoy making your own cards for the Holidays then you should try using those same supplies to create custom handmade Gift Tags too. You can even coordinate your cards to the gift tags as well and maybe even to the wrapping paper to take your Christmas packaging over the top! There are lots of punches and dies to create tag bases (or cut them yourself), decorate them like you would a card but on a smaller scale and then tie on some ribbon or twine to adhere them. Today let’s get inspired by some amazing Gift Tag ideas made with paper crafting supplies.

Nina used pre-printed wintery images and added stenciled snowflakes in white and heat embossed sentiments on dark cardstock. She tied shiny ribbons, twine and even small jingle bells at the top of each. Learn more about the kit she used at the Simon Says Stamp blog.
Gina used forest and deer silhouette style stamps over a beautiful ink blended background for this lovely tag. She also included a foiled sentiment and subtle sweater border along the bottom. I spotted her tag idea on the Gina K Designs Instagram page.
I love the bold purples and greens Jeanne used for her darling Gingerbread Men tags! She has lots of texture with layered label dies that have faux stitching, gems and grosgrain ribbon bows. If you make and gift homemade cookies these tags are perfect to add. Take a closer look at the Pink and Main blog.
This yummy Christmas peppermint candy tag has pink and red strips of cardstock at the bottom for a border and die cut candy from white and red with a stamped sentiment. I love how she added glitter to the candy for some sugary sparkle! Find more info at the Mindy Eggen Designs blog.
Margaret made these wonderful greenery gift tags by die cutting pre-printed pattern paper with coordinating dies and layering them on die cut tags, adding stamped sentiments. There’s also a wonderful matching gift box too. You can watch her video tutorial on the Creative Stamping with Margaret blog.
These adorable trio of Christmas tags have so much dimension and detail with stamping, many layers of dies, a shaker element behind the window and ribbon tied with twine. I adore the pastel colors she used too! Davina used stamps from Scrap Diva for these tags and you can take a closer look at the Popsiclesticks Instagram blog.
Lisa focused on Holiday sentiments for her three tags. She used letter pressing techniques in red and green inks for color and debossing for texture. I love how she layered all the die cut sentiments! Learn more at the Spellbinders blog.
These super sweet sweatered snowmen tags from Alma have traditional red and green pattern papers for backgrounds and borders. She also added stamped trees with each snowman and even tied cute little Christmas lights to the top of each. She breaks it down at the Sunny Studio blog.
This Christmas goose isn’t for eating but for tying onto a package as he’s all dressed up for walking in a winter wonderland all created with dies from Donna. She added some white ink splatter, texture paste and glitter for a snowy effect. Learn more at the Memory Box blog.
Bobbi used products from Honey Bee Stamps for these delightful Gingerbread people tags. Notice how the tag is shaped like a baking pan, so clever! Behind the die cut cookies are dry embossed brick or a stamped recipe. Take a closer look at the Bobbi Hart Design blog.
And lastly here’s a stunning matching card and tag set from Emily. She used rich colors on a embossing folder that has a coordinating stencil for a pretty foliage pattern. She added heat embossed sentiments, some glitter cardstock and ribbons too. Visit the Altenew blog for all the details.
I hope you’ve found some inspiration to create your own Gift Tags this Holiday season!
