Guide to create easy gift tags | American Crafts DT

Hey everyone! Its Bea here, and I’m sharing a super easy tag-trio with you

today! Gift tags are a great way to put a handmade touch on our present. Not to

mention that playing with pretty papers and scrapbook supplies is so fun! This

time I used the stunning Willow collection by 1 Canoe 2. I love the bright, natural

colors as much as the gorgeous floral elements in this line! It's super easy to mix

and match the papers with the embellishments and the whole collection has a

lovely countryside atmosphere.

My favorite technique to create an easy tag is layering! I started my first tag by

trimming a 2.5x5” tag base using white cardstock. Then I trimmed a tag with

almost the same size using patterned paper and machine-stitched them

together. I punched a hole to the top and added a tiny paper ring to protect the

hole. Next, I layered patterned paper pieces on the tag and adhered a beautiful

ephemera flower on the top. Adding fussy cut butterfly and enamel dots was the

perfect finishing touch.

Thinking in monochrome color scheme leads always unique result! To create my

second tag, I picked yellow papers and embellishments from the collection. I

trimmed down the tag base and placed a sentiment sticker to the center. Then,

I layered the yellow embellishments around the title. To add more interest, I

attached a wood leaf and a white eyelet to my tag.

You can never go wrong with adding a pocket to your tags! On my third tag, I

added a tiny vellum pocket to the bottom and placed sequences and tiny labels

inside. So pretty!

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. I hope I have been able to show

you how easy it is to create tags using the Willow collection.
