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
