This cute Elf Christmas Gift Tag uses the Delicate Baubles Dies. The idea for creating an elf using the dies is from Connie Babbert at www.inkspiredtreasures.com. She has an array of cards using the dies for holiday characters. When I saw the elf on the card she created, I knew it would make a cute gift tag. Just so you know – the Delicate Baubles Dies are on the Last Chance List and will be retiring soon so don’t hesitate, place your order ASAP. In the video below I show you how easy and fun it is to create a gift tag using the dies.
Materials for the Elf Gift Tag:
Delicate Baubles Dies (use arabesque shape)
Granny Apple Green Cardstock 3” x 8-1/2”, score & fold at 4-1/4”
3 stripes of 1/8”Real Red cardstock, scrap of Real Red cardstock for collar
Gold Foil (scrap)
Ornate Frames Dies
Basic Black 1/2” x 3-1/4” & 1/2” x 3/4”
Champagne Rhinestones
Gold Ribbon
Hole Punch
Video Tutorial
Now, you know how easy it is to recreate the Elf Christmas gift tag. I made several elf tags to embellish gifts under this year’s Christmas tree.
My next post will also feature more gift tags using the Delicate Baubles Dies. Remember, the dies are retiring soon so place your order for the dies while the dies are still available.

Keeping with this week’s gift tag theme for Christmas in July, I am featuring Snowman Gift Tags. A recent purchase of snowman notepads became the inspiration for the snowman gift tags. Since I’ll be “giving a little something” to folks throughout the holiday season, it’s only appropriate to make the presentation special. Right?! Even better, the notepads fit perfectly into the Ombre Gift Bags. And with coordinating snowman gift tags, the “little something” is ready to present later this year. The Snowman Season Stamp Set and the Tailor Made Tags Dies in the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog are perfect for making the gift tags. Best of all, the tags are quick and easy to make!

It’s the second week of Christmas in July 2021 and today features Poinsettia Gift Tags. Last holiday season, I saw Poinsettia Gift tags created by other demonstrators and made a mental note to use the set for gift tags in the future. So this year, I am making Poinsettia gift tags for some of my holiday packages. The Poinsettia Dies are perfect for creating the poinsettia embellishment for the tags. The first tag is a poinsettia gift tag design using non-traditional Christmas colors. The 2021-2023 In Colors are some of my favorite colors and so I selected Polished Pink for the poinsettia. It will be perfect to for use this Christmas on one of my granddaughter’s gifts. In addition, I’m sharing another poinsettia gift tag using stamped poinsettia layers which are cut with the coordinating dies. The color scheme is more subtle (crumb cake on very vanilla cardstock).

As mentioned in my last post, I am enjoying using the Sweet As A Peach bundle. In addition to last week’s card and others to share, I have a quick and easy gift tag featuring the Sweet As A Peach Bundle. Not only does it feature the stamp set, it also highlights the beautiful You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper and the Tailor Made Tags Dies. Trust me, you’re going to want to add the tags dies to your “must have” list! The dies include two tag shapes in three sizes so you’ll have the ability to make tags for a variety of package sizes.
Creating the Sweet As A Peach Gift Tag:
Using one of the largest tag dies from the Tailor Made Tags Dies, cut one tag from Pale Papaya cardstock. Cut another tag from the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper. Align the tag tops and overlap the designer series paper tag. Adhere the tags together using a glue dot to hold the designer series paper in place.
On a scrap of Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set using Pale Papaya Classic Ink Pad. After stamping, cut shape using the Tasteful Labels Dies (or a die shape of your choice).
Embellish the sentiment by stamping the small leaves (from the Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set) using Pear Pizzazz. Color Basic Rhinestone Jewels with Dark Calypso Coral Blends and add to the leaves.
Add the sentiment to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
You can use the gift tag on a variety of packages. As you see in the photo, a 3-1/8″ x 3-1/8″ acetate card box is filled with treats. Pale Papaya & White Ribbon is wrapped around the box and before tying the bow, a strip of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon and a strip of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon are added. The Sweet As A Peach gift tag is inserted under the bow and attached to the box with glue dots.
Stay tuned, I’ll be sharing more “peach themed” projects.

In this month’s class, one of the projects created is a Tulip Gift Bag and coordinating tag. I love it when there is a designer series paper that coordinates with a stamp set and either dies or as with the Timeless Tulips Bundle, a punch. The bag uses the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper, which is from of the Coordination Product Release. The paper is wonderful as it coordinates with multiple stamp bundles. Naturally, the small gift bag needs a coordinating tag. The Timeless Tulips stamp set and the tag die from the Bonanza Dies combine to create a perfect gift tag. Details for creating both are below the project’s photo.
Creating the Tulip Gift Bag:
From the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper, cut the tulip paper 6″ x 8″. Be sure to pay attention to the direction of the tulips.
On the 8″ side score at 2-1/2″, 3-3/4″, 6-1/4″ and 7-1/2″. Rotate 90° (make sure that the tulips are facing toward the right) and score at 1-1/4″.
Fold along score lines and trim along score lines up to the 1-1/4″ score line. Cut and remove the 1/2″ tab. See the photo below – dotted lines are score lines:
Add Tear & Tape Adhesive to the 1/2″ tab, fold over to close the side creating the bag.
Fold in bottom flaps and seal. Be sure the small flaps are folded in first and then overlap with the larger flaps.
Pinch together and use a Mini Library Clip to seal.
For the coordinating tag:
With the tag die from the Bonanza Dies to cut a 2-1/2″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.
Using the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set, stamp two small tulips with Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Pad at the top of the tag. (refer to project photo above for placement) Stamp the large tulip with the same color onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Cut with the coordinating Tulip Builder Punch.
Stamp three stems using Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin’ Pad.
Add the large tulip onto the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals, slightly overlap the smaller tulips.
Use the Tulip Builder Punch to cut a leaf from a scrap of the reverse side (green pattern) of the Pleased As Punch designer series paper. Adhere to tag under the large tulip with a mini glue dot.
Stamp the sentiment with the Calypso Coral onto a 3″ x 1-1/4″ piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock. Cut using the shape using the Ornate Frames Dies. Attach to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tie a knot bow using 6″ of Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon. Complete the tag attaching the bow below the large tulip using a mini glue dot.
What did we put in the gift bag? A wrapped Rice Krispies Treat Bar! It fit perfectly. Be sure to comment below and let me know what you plan to place in your gift bag.
A full list of the project materials is at the bottom of this post. Remember the Coordination Product Release products are only available through the end of this month. So you’ll want to order the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper soon! It’s also while supplies last.
