Creating Christmas crafts is a past time that has been around for centuries. It’s something old and young alike can participate in. Christmas gift tags are not only needed for holiday packaging but creating them yourself assures you’re giving a little piece of yourself with your gift. These holiday gift tags are perfect for sprucing up gift bags, packages, baked goods, or teacher gifts — and each one comes together in just minutes.
I designed 4 different Christmas gift tags so you can choose the look that best fits your wrapping style. Whether you prefer cute, classic, or elegant, these xmas gift tags add a personalized touch that store-bought tags just can’t match.

Christmas Gift Tags | Merry & Holly
This simple gift tag includes easy die cut pieces (or you can use stickers!) and simple embellishments for holiday sparkle.

Crumb Cake cardstock provides the perfect nostalgic kraft paper look and these snowflake images were stamped with white ink which dry looking more like a chalkboard finish then stamped images. If you don’t have a white craft ink pad consider a white chalk marker HERE or even a white gel pen HERE to draw your own snowflakes.

The word “Merry” was stamped using Cherry Cobbler ink which represents a deep tone one the neutral cardstock. Experiment using other deep tones such as Night of Navy and Mossy Meadow to create the look you’re after. Better yet, choose colors that match your wrapping paper or gift bag for a one-of-a-kind coordinated package!

Don’t forget the bling! Christmas is all about twinkling lights and sparkle. The Traditional Sparkling Sequins are economical, easy to use and flat so stacking gifts under the tree is easy.

Christmas Gift Tags | Pinecones
Die cut images create 3D looks in a matter of seconds and this pinecone gift tag represents that perfectly!

The Delicate Pines Dies includes both the solid and detailed dies that layer perfectly one on top of the other. Their realistic look will have the recipient touching because of their texture!

The Delicate Pines Dies include pine snowflakes that I cut apart and used as pine boughs for the tag. Add more if you’d like, but either way, your tag will be rich with natural holiday colors and feel.

The Timeless Plaid designer series paper is a favorite of mine. These abundant colors and plaid patterns are perfect for cards all year long, especially masculine cards.

Festive Friends Snowman
I’ve loved snowmen for as long as I can remember. It might have something to do with childhood memories of making them in our backyard in Illinois as a kid growing up. Nowadays I recall those memories well but enough the warmth (and shovel free) Florida winters. Regardless, you can’t go wrong with an adorable snowman image!

I used alcohol based Stampin’ Blends markers to color the image but any color medium will do. If you’re letting the kids help, consider colored pencils or even crayons for younger kids. The bold outline of this image (plus the others in this stamp set) are perfect for young hands!

I also used the coordinating Festive Friends Dies which allowed me to die cut the tag plus the tab in one full swoop. If you love both products be sure to purchase the Bundle since Bundles will save you 10%. I think you’ll agree that this is one stamp set that you’ll use over and over again for many holidays to come.

Santa’s Elf Tag
If you’re looking for an impressive gift tag for a large gift, look no further! This elf tag is not only adorable but will show up prominently on gift.

This tag has several steps but none of them are difficult, as you’ll see in the video. The project sheet provides you photos and all the cutting dimensions you need to make your own elf tag quickly and easily.

This tag uses a Crushed Curry buckle but you can easily change this to Real Red (see the video for an alternate tag!) or consider glitter/glimmer paper or even foil for holiday sparkle.
