Textured Plaid Christmas Tags
Hi friends! Heather Hoffman here today to share a couple of festive holiday tags that I created with some fun pattern paper and textures, and all die cutting – no stamping at all!
I cut the largest Luggage Tags die twice from Simple Stories Vintage Flannel pattern paper, and twice from white cardstock. That way I could l layer them together, since the pattern paper really wasn’t sturdy enough to stand alone as tags. But before I adhered them together, I wrapped around a couple pieces of vellum. I tore the edges on them, and varied the width, then adhered them behind the pattern paper, then sandwiched the pattern paper and white tags, so the ends of the vellum were sandwiched in the middle.
Next, I cut two of the lovely Large Snowflake dies from Tonic Sugar Crystal glitter paper, added foam adhesive strips to the back, and then layered those over the top, trimming the excess off the edge on one side. They are so pretty and sparkly cut from glitter paper!
For the sentiment, I die cut one of the sentiments from Holiday Duo die – using Honey Gold cardstock for the main layer, and black cardstock for the shadow layer. I originally was going to cut the shadow layer from vellum or white cardstock, but it just didn’t pop on the background, so I tried it with black. I ended up loving it! I layered those over the top with even more foam adhesive strips – since they are tags, I figured I couldn’t have too much dimension, right?
And finally, I added some May Arts white ribbon at the top, held in place with my Tiny Attacher stapler, then tied a little bow from Black and White Baker’s Twine, and adhered that with liquid glue. Then it was time for some sparkle – lots of Dazzling Gems in Gold layered on the snowflakes were the perfect way to do that!
Do you make holiday tags for gift giving? Or do you tend to stick to Christmas cards?

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Good morning Heather.
Love your tags! Years ago I started making tags for ornaments and sending them instead of Christmas cards. My friends and family save them and put them on their trees each year!
Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Have a blessed holiday season.
