Faux Stitched Holiday Tags with Kelly

Kelly is joining us today with some super cute tags to get you into the holiday spirit!

Hello and welcome! It’s Kelly here today sharing some tags to dress up your holiday packages using some of the latest products from the Recollective Holiday Collection! One of my favorite things about wrapping Christmas gifts is adding the finishing touches: the ribbons and tags! I created a trio of tags using each of the sentiments included in the Christmas Sampler Sentiments stamp set.

I made quick work of the stenciling portion and just created them assembly line style using the Christmas Sampler Stencils. Once that was done, I used the previously released Aida Cloth Texture Plate to give it that authentic “stitched” look! I just love how it takes the sampler to the next level of cuteness! I used the Hoopla Round Inserts die to cut the stenciled samplers into circles and then used the Hoopla Round die to make each of the three embroidery hoop frames and the cute little “hanger” on the top. That part is hard to see because of the Big Beautiful Bows, but they are there and they add just the right touch and place to attach the striped baker’s twine!

I added a different color bow to each of the three tags; these bows are made using the Big Beautiful Bow die. This might be one of my absolute favorites from the new release….I just love how realistic they end up looking! I did take some creative liberties with the “tails” of the ribbon to suit the needs of my project. I used three different arrangements for each of the three tags so you can see a few options. I tucked some BotaniCuts Juniper sprigs here and there for a touch of greenery to really pull in the holiday spirit! You could add some glitter or snowy accents, depending on the feel you are going for. I simply colored mine with Distress Oxide inks and left them glitter-free.

For the inside of the tags, I used the leftover circles from making the hoops and used them to my advantage. I stamped a few of the sentiments included in the Wrapped in Love Sentiments additions stamp set to finish off the inside. I simply glued the circles to the inside of the tag for a finished look.

Thanks for joining me today!
