Gift Tags by Esther



The scraps were used to make gift tags from the papers of the DT kit. I like to cut a tag to the desired size (large) and decorate it with layers of cardstock. This was cut on the Cricut by enlarging the tag. The flowered side of Signature by American Crafts was used as a tag for the first tag. Buttons were adhered to the right side. Brown ribbon was used around the top and as the hanger. The rickrack trim was cut on the Cricut and layered with Hotfix jewels added on the brown. The Chomper was used to round the corners.


For the second tag, green was the dominant color with the peach and gold patterned cardstock as accents. The swirls were free-handed and the stripped side of "Many Thanks" cardstock were used in the center. There are those shiny green jewels again. ScrapbooksPlus has a variety of colors and they are so easy to adhere with the heat tool. the word "Spring" was welded with the Gypsy so that it is a continuous diecut of the yellow patterned cardstock in the kit. They are ready for gift-giving. The to and from can be written on the back.

Love the Spring tag with the cute birdie-I have stickers like that & never know what to do with them!

Just a little touch to remind that spring is coming. Combine stickers for small accents.
