Welcome to Day 1 of my last minute Handmade Holiday 2019 Series!
I'm back with my sixth year of last minute handmade ideas! SIX years, y'all! Wow. Thank you so much for your support of this series. I have been overwhelmed and almost considered not doing the series this year but I kept getting emails and comments asking for it so I sat down to make a list of projects I could do and I got really excited. This series is for YOU crafting friends. I appreciate each and every one of you and y'all make this possible. Much love to everyone.
The goal of this series is adding handmade touches to gifts for our friends and family. Even with the craziness of the season I like to be able to personalize the gifts under our tree. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be sharing mostly quick (an hour or less) Handmade Holiday ideas for cards, tags and gift wrapping sure to add that handmade touch we all love. Most ideas will include multiples (today I created eight gift tags)!
Each Handmade Holiday project blog post will feature a brand new, never before seen project(s) plus an incredible giveaway from a generous sponsor!
SCALLOP SQUARE & CIRLCE GIFT TAGS
Tags are always a big part of my Handmade Holiday Series. My 2019 series will feature a lot of different gift tags. These traditional colors tags feature stamps, dies, patterned papers, and gems from Honey Bee Stamps. Dimension was created with wreaths and poinsettias on the tag fronts. My goal with tags is to make them pretty enough for the recipient to use them on their tree or in another way after the gift has been given!

To watch the creation of these holiday gift tags from start to finish, click HERE or watch below:
These tags were created "assembly-line" style, meaning I did all the die cutting first, then assembled the wreaths, the poinsettias, the bows, etc. I added glitter and spray to the wreaths and poinsettias and then assembled the tag bases before putting it all together. This project from start to finish (die cutting to final assembly took 2 hours).
The back of each tag was created by stamping greetings from the Santa Express Stamp Set on smooth white cardstock with Berrylicious Ink and die cutting with a Scallop Square Gift Tags Die or a Scallop Circle Gift Tag die. The "to" sentiment was stamped on each tag with black ink and the panel was adhered to the back of the assembled tags.
The wreaths were created by die cutting Hero Hues Meadow and Palm cardstock with the Joy Noel Wreath Dies and layering one wreath on top of the other. Ranger Mulit Matte Medium was lightly applied to some of the wreath and Hero Arts Icicle Glitter was sprinkled over the wreaths for a touch of icy sparkle!
The bow for the wreaths were die cut from Holiday Traditions Patterned Paper using the Joy Noel Wreath Dies. The pieces were glued together and then glued to the wreath.
The bases for both the Scallop Square Gift Tags or a Scallop Circle Gift Tag were created from Lawn Fawn Chili Pepper Cardstock. A Holiday Traditions Patterned Paper die cut circle or square was adhered to each tag for interest.
Gems from the Holiday Traditions Crystal Gems or Rainbow Crystal Gems were adhered to the wreaths as "berries" for extra sparkle! These little gems are so much easier than trying to add die cut berries. You could also use small sequins or Nuvo Crystal Drops!
Each tag was finished by threading through a bit of red and white baker's twine.
The poinsettias were created by die cutting Lawn Fawn Chili Pepper Cardstock, Hero Hues Mustard Cardstock, and Hero Hues Palm Cardstock using the Winter Bouquets Dies. The poinsettias were assembled and then the flowers and leaves were spritzed with Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer for that subtle sparkle and shine!
The bases for both the Scallop Square Gift Tags or a Scallop Circle Gift Tag were created from Hero Hues Pitch Black Cardstock. A Holiday Traditions Patterned Paper die cut circle or square was adhered to each tag for interest.
Gems from the Holiday Traditions Crystal Gems were adhered to the poinsettia centers for extra sparkle!
Each tag was finished by threading through a bit of red and white baker's twine.
