Santa Gift Card Tag Tutorial - Lori Whitlock

 Hello friends.  Christmas is creeping up. I am a big fan of giving gift cards so my recipients can pick out their own gift but I like to make gift card holders to put them in. I selected the Gift Card Tag Santa (SVG, Silhouette) to make for my gift cards this year.  There is a pocket on the back side of this tag that holds the gift card. I used Lori's Have a Holly Jolly Christmas collection to create my tags.

These are really easy to assemble. Let me show you how.

1. Cut out the pieces from desired pattern paper or cardstock.

2. Fold the tag along the score lines folding the flaps up. Apply glue to the flaps and adhere to the back of the tag to form the pocket.

 

3. Adhere the white beard and Santa suit trim to the top of the tag.

4. Slip the black belt through the belt buckle and adhere to the bottom of the tag. Add the two black buttons above the belt on the white trim.

 

5. Add ribbon or other embellishments as you wish.

Check out Lori's other gift card holder designs in the store and make some of your own. Thanks so much for stopping by.

25 Days Of Christmas Tags

Hello blogging friends!

I am so excited to be participating in the 25 Days of Christmas Tags. This fabulous event has been organized by the talented Tracey McNeely. As in past years, she has lined up some amazing sponsors (and prizes!). You will want to hop over to her blog (link at the end of this post) and check out the prizes and all the awesome tags! I created these adorable penguin holiday tags, but there is lots more Jillibean Soup inspiration for you today.

I used three different penguin digital cut files from Jillibean Soup that are available in the Silhouette store. It's actually the same penguin but dressed in different outdoor winter wear. Jillibean Soup just came out with fun new dots and plaids paper pads and I used these for the hats, mittens, and scarf. Then I stamped the sentiments with brand new Jillibean Soup stamps sets. You will find these sentiments on the new coffee and ice cream stamp/shaker sets. "You Warm My Heart" and "You're the Coolest" are perfect penguin sentiments too, don't you think?

Check out all these sponsors!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Are you ready to get your craft on and make some Holiday tags now? Hop on over to Tracey's blog (HERE) for more inspiration.
