We made these Quick Christmas Gift Tags at Class yesterday. I pulled out a bunch of retired punches and some Christmas Designer Series Paper and we had fun! I was inspired by the sketches in the upcoming January Mini Catalog. I will be putting these on the stockings from my Paper Pumpkin Kit and giving them to my younger grandchildren.

Cardstock: Real Red cardstock

~White Rectangle Word Strips: 1″ x 2″
~Long White Word Strip: 1″ x 4″. Cut a notch at each end.
2-General Instructions:
~Use a Tag Topper Punch or Punch a Hole at the top if you want to use Ribbon
~Choose a design to copy.

~We used a Green Pen to write “To” and “From” on a white Tag or Rectangle.
Have fun making lots of Quick Christmas Gift Tags!
