How to Create a Festive Gift Tag with Sizzix by Katie Skilton

Hello…

I am looking forward to being back on Hochanda on the 9th November and bringing you some of your festive favourites!

I will be bringing you a variety of dies from Bigz to Thinlits.

Today I want to share a quick tutorial with you, looking at how to create a gift tag and makes those festive gifts a wow factor.

Materials:

Sizzix Bigz Die - Reindeer
Sizzix Framelits Die Set - Tags
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set - Holiday Words
Cardstock
Patterned Paper
Distress Ink - Walnut Stain
Mica Spray - Bronze
Pipe Cleaner
Twine

Method:

Step 1

Die cut 2 tags and layer together to make it firm.

Step 2

Die cut the reindeer and add Distress Ink. Spritz with the Mica Spray and heat dry.

Step 3

Trim strips of card and die cut the words, distress with Distress Ink.

Step 4

Distress the edge of the tags and adhere the Reindeer using 3D foam pads. Back the letters onto gold card and adhere to the tag. Add the pipe cleaner.

Step 5

Thread twine through the top and tie the twine in a knot.

Hope you like this little project. It will certainly add detail to any gift!

For more festive inspiration join me on 9th November at 10am, 1pm & 5pm.

Until then…

Katie
