Welcome back, crafty friends! Today’s video is a bit different – and a lot of fun. I’m playing with some of the new Simon Says Stamp DieCember® dies to create a set of holiday gift tags that are quick, easy, and perfect for using up scraps.

I walk you step-by-step through the first super simple tag, then we’ll step it up with a three-snowman tag, and finish with a fun Shaker Snowman tag. Each project is completely die-cut – only the sentiment is stamped, no coloring – we use pattern paper for that, just cut, assemble, and go.

I’m also excited to introduce a new series on my YouTube channel called Cut & Create, where you’ll find all my upcoming die-cut project videos in one place. Be sure to SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss a thing!

How to create the Step-by-Step Snowman Gift Tags:

There’s a video for today’s project, so instead of listing all the steps here, you’ll find a quick overview of the tags along with photos below.

These holiday gift tags are almost entirely die cut, with white heat-embossed sentiments on black cardstock as the only exception. The sentiments are optional – the tags look great even without them.

In the video, I also decorate the backs of the tags with die-cut snowflakes leaving room for the To” and From: if needed. patterned paper helped guide my color choices and adds a fun pop of detail to the snowman’s hats and scarves.

Step-by-Step Snowman Gift Tags – Tag 1

I used the largest two dies to create the tag base, Cutting the base from Audrey Blue cardstock and the inlay from a dark blue patterned paper.

Next, the snowman is assembled using pattern paper from the Snow Much Fun collection for his hat and scarf and Green Apple cardstock for the brim and snowflake accents.

TO finish, I created all the sentiments at once by white heat embossing them onto black cardstock. A single Prism Pawsitively Dazzling Gem was added to the center of the snowflake on his tummy for a touch of sparkle.

Step-by-Step Snowman Gift Tags – Tag 2

The basic steps for each element are the same as Tag #1, with just a change in color and three adorable little snowmen instead of one. You could even give them family member names to make the tag extra fun and personal.

Step-by-Step Snowman Gift Tags – Tag 3

Tag #3 is my “over the top” shaker gift tag, and it’s perfect for special holiday gifting.

TO create the shaker frame, tape the two largest tag dies together and die cut six frame panels. Stack them to form the shaker frame, then fill them with your favorite sequins and clay bits for extra sparkle and movement.

Finish it up by adding the acetate cover, and finally, the purple frame. This layered design highlights the stitched details and interior scalloped edge.
