You know with the September-December 2025 Mini Catalog coming out last week it is a sign we are just about on the slippery slope to the holidays – fall and winter holidays! Once we start decorating there is no end until January! So it would be a good idea for all of us to get an early start on a few holiday preparations. I have some simple Christmas tags for you to start with!
Whether you are an experienced stamper or especially if you are new to all of this, I have something super easy for you to make! And it might be something we overlook in the new Holiday Mini because it isn’t as splashy on the page as some of the big Suites are! If you look on the bottom of page 15 you will find the Christmas Tags & More 6″ x 6″ Mix & Match Specialty Designer Series Paper.
The Christmas Tags & More is an amazing package of papers! Not only are there regular 6″ x 6″ sheets of designer series paper, but you also get two sheets of diecut holiday images as well as 8 sheets of cut-apart designs with which you can make tags and cards.
In the package you get 8 copies of this sheet with cut-apart designs to make tags or perhaps Christmas cards. The green and white plaid is the backside of the tag design.
Here are the other papers in the package and the backside.
PLUS you get two sheets of diecut holiday images that you can use along with the tags or on cards and other projects, not to mention scrapbook pages! The top two pages, in the photo below, are the two sheets each of the designs and the bottom page is the cut-apart tag or “whatever” page that you want to make with the images.
All in all you get 32 sheets, 8 each of 4 double-sided designs plus 4 sheets, 2 each of 2 single-sided precut designs. The colors are Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Real Red, Soft Sea Foam.
To make the easiest ever Christmas tags as I made in the top photo, start by cutting apart the six images of “tags” on one sheet.
-The tag with three stockings is only that – the tag with a “To” and “From” handwritten in the corners. I punched a hole in the top corner and put a red ribbon through it. The backside is already the green and white background. Done!
-The next tag with the Christmas tree is almost as simple. On the back, I punched and adhered a Basic White circle on which to write “To” and “From” and I embellished the tree with a few gold Traditional Sparkling Sequins. Just punch a hole and add some red and white baker’s twine.
-The tag with the candy canes has an extra layer of Real Red, cut the same size as the tag. I stamped the “To” and “From” on it from the Traditional Labels Stamp Set and ran the Real Red 1/2″ Shiny Ribbon through both tags.
-The tag with the red cardinal is the single sheet tag with no image on either side, just the plaid design on the back and the Real Red and Crumb Cake diagonal design on the front. With no planning whatsoever, I folded up the botton of the tag which shows off the plaid and makes a little smaller tag with the cute bird popped up on the front. On the back, I cut out a small square of Basic White cardstock on which to write the “To” and “From”. I tied a piece of baker’s twine through the hole in the top.
-And the last easy tag, a little more stepped up with the three ornaments, adds a stamped “Merry” on the front from the same stamp set and cut out by hand along the curve, then popped up on Dimensionals. I put a secone layer undeneath, the holly image, and actually adhered the two together on an angle to see both. You could use this as a tag or even make it the focal point of a card or adhere as an embellishment to a scrapbook page.
Just think how many tags you could make out of these eight sheets of the tag images! As I said, they aren’t exclusively for tags. They can be used on cards or scrapbook pages or decorations on gift bags, and more! Once you start paying with this Christmas Tags & More 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series Paper, I bet you can’t make just one! You’ll find this in the new Mini Catalog!
