Adhere the other note piece 1/2" from the right on the right hand page. Staple the cheesecloth piece overtop of the note piece.

Warm Hugs Gift Tag

Happy Saturday!

Christmas is only 5 days away and I'm starting to get my Christmas presents wrapped. For today's project I've created this quick and easy Warm Hugs Gift Tag perfect for adding to your gifts. To create my gift tag, I've used a variety of dies from the Paper Flower Collection and stamps from Sue Smith. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my gift tag at home. 

To start, you'll need to die cut the large tag from the Planner Essentials - 2 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

From the Strawberries die, die cut the two swirls twice out of a gold coloured cardstock. 

The next two steps use the Stamen Flowers Die. 

Die cut the two swirls once out of a gold coloured cardstock.

Die cut all the flowers twice out of a piece of red cardstock. Die cut all of the the flowers once out of a piece of green cardstock. Die cut the flower centres once out of a piece of gold coloured cardstock. You'll only need three centres.

From the Hugs stamp set, you'll need the Warm Hugs stamp. Apply Emboss It Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped sentiment. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Once the embossed words have cooled, fussy cut around the hugs word and cut the warm word into a strip.

Choose one of the reinforcements from the Reinforcement Variety Pack. Die cut one reinforcement out of green cardstock.

Adhere the reinforcement to the hole at the top of the tag.

Adhere one of each of the different sized flowers together of the same colour. Repeat the previous step for the other two flowers. Adhere a centre to each of the flowers. Shape each flower as desired.

Adhere the swirls as desired to the left hand tag.

Use foam squares to adhere the green flower to the middle of the left hand side of the tag. Adhere one of the red flowers to the top and bottom of the green flower.

Use foam squares to adhere the Warm Hugs words to the left of the flowers as desired on the tag. To finish the tag, tie a piece of twine through the hole at the top of the tag.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished gift tag.
