DIY Christmas Gift Tags With Scrapbook Paper Scraps And Free Cut File

DIY Christmas Gift Tags With Scrapbook Paper Scraps And Free Cut File by Simply Kelly Designs #gifttags #Christmas #Silhouette #cutfile #holidaycraftparty

On Day 2 of the #HolidayCraftParty with Weekend Craft, we are sharing Christmas gift tags!

HolidayCraftParty

I started paper scrapbooking 11 years ago so you can imagine the amount of scrapbook paper scraps I have. I store the scraps in folders and always look for ways to use them. When I had the idea for these Christmas gift tags, I knew using paper scraps would be perfect! There are four different tags featuring a star, Christmas tree, round ornament and gingerbread man.

Supplies:

  • 4 2 inch x 1.75 inch scraps of scrapbook paper
  • 1 8.5×11 inch piece of white cardstock
  • Silhouette Portrait (affiliate link)
  • Silhouette mat (affiliate link)
  • printer
  • paper adhesive

Directions:

1. Download my free Christmas Tags cut file for Silhouette Studio. This file is only for your personal use. I cut the small rectangles of scrapbook paper with my paper trimmer but I also included rectangles of that size in the cut file.

2. Use the Silhouette machine, mat and white cardstock to print and cut the tags. Here are detailed print and cut directions for Silhouette Studio version 2.

  • Open my Christmas Tags cut file in Silhouette Studio (SS).
  • Place cardstock into the printer.
  • Select File->Send To Silhouette from the SS menu.
  • Choose Click here to print in the Print Image window.
  • Select Continue to cutting page.
  • Place the printed paper onto a Silhouette mat and load into the Silhouette.
  • Select Continue.
  • Select Detect Automatically. The Silhouette will now detect your registration marks so it will know where to cut the design.
  • Select Cut.

Remove the tags from the Silhouette mat.

3. Pick one tag. Add paper adhesive to the back of a piece of of 2 inch tall by 1.75 inch wide piece of scrapbook paper. Hold it underneath the opening in the tag and line it up as desired. Fold the other side of the tag down and press down on the scrapbook paper. The scrapbook paper should now be adhered to the inside of the to/from part of the tag.

4. Add adhesive to the inside of the cutout part of the tag. Then fold the tag and press the two different sides together to seal the adhesive.

    Do your designs come in SVG? I have a Cricut Explore 2 and would love to use your adorable designs! I’d like to learn how to download into Cricut’s Design Space.

    Does this work only with the silhouette or can I cut them on my cricut?
