I love gift bags for the convenience, but I want to dress them up a little. People love personalized items, and that’s something you can’t easily buy. Look through your own holiday stamps and dies to create fun tags.
I’m using a very old Sizzix Originals steel rule die (Tag, Super Scallop) to cut tags, but there are a million options for die tags. Pre-made tags are also reasonably priced.
I cut a number of tags in smooth white and textured kraft paper, then used small (3/4” tall / 2 cm) alphabet dies to cut names in each white tag. I adhered leftover wrapping paper behind the letters on the white tags, then adhered the cut-out letters onto the kraft tags. I decorated the kraft tags with die cuts of holiday greenery, dried citrus slices, and pine cones and the white tags with line art stamps and greetings.
