How to Create a Festive Gift Tag with Sizzix by Katie Skilton

Hello…

I am looking forward to being back on Hochanda on the 9th November and bringing you some of your festive favourites!

I will be bringing you a variety of dies from Bigz to Thinlits.

Today I want to share a quick tutorial with you, looking at how to create a gift tag and makes those festive gifts a wow factor.

Materials:

Sizzix Bigz Die - Reindeer
Sizzix Framelits Die Set - Tags
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set - Holiday Words
Cardstock
Patterned Paper
Distress Ink - Walnut Stain
Mica Spray - Bronze
Pipe Cleaner
Twine

Method:

Step 1

Die cut 2 tags and layer together to make it firm.

Step 2

Die cut the reindeer and add Distress Ink. Spritz with the Mica Spray and heat dry.

Step 3

Trim strips of card and die cut the words, distress with Distress Ink.

Step 4

Distress the edge of the tags and adhere the Reindeer using 3D foam pads. Back the letters onto gold card and adhere to the tag. Add the pipe cleaner.

Step 5

Thread twine through the top and tie the twine in a knot.

Hope you like this little project. It will certainly add detail to any gift!

For more festive inspiration join me on 9th November at 10am, 1pm & 5pm.

Until then…

Katie

Meet the Presenter - Matt MacNamara

1. How did you first get introduced to crafts? I’ve always loved craft and had such great respect for anyone who makes and creates crafty items. At craft fairs it is always me that holds up everyone else in the group while I chat to the people on the stalls about what they have made. My wife Karen, or Mrs M, is very crafty too. She’s into the classic decoupage, upcycling old boxes and furniture. She also makes her own jewellery and I sometimes help her run the stalls at craft fairs.. 2. What have been your highlights so far on Hochanda? We have a very talented pool of guests, so there is always something so creative going on in the studio, so honestly, every day is highlight. I’ve also had the good fortune to have tried several crafts for the first time ever. It’s pleasantly surprising to discover that to be a good crafter you don’t necessarily have to be artistic, you just need to be imaginative and creative. We all have our own...
