How to Sparkle up Your Holiday Gift Tags

Hi it's Colleen! Today I'm here to share how to sparkle up your holiday gift tags! It's never too soon to plan for the holidays, am I right? So let's have some fun and create a few easy, sparkly gift tags!

I started with 3 backgrounds that I made with my gelli plate, acrylic paint, and WOW! Starry Night stencil. Next, I took the same stencil and placed it over the card panel, slightly offset from the original stars.Then I went over the card panel with WOW! Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Pad and a blending brush that I use only for stencils and embossing. Then I applied WOW! Hope & Positivity powder over two of them and Candy Floss over the 3rd card panel. Candy floss is from the Fairground Trio set.

Can you see the shimmer in the photos below? Adding shine from your embossing powders can bring your creations from average to WOW! No pun intended!

When my embossing was finished, I die cut each card panel using a Gina Marie Designs oval die cut. I thought that would give my tags a unique look rather than going with a traditional tag! I die cut an extra oval in white and glued it to the backside of my tags so that the tag was a bit sturdier. Then I stamped my sentiment on the front and backside of the tag using Merry Sentiments and Christmas Sentiments stamps.

The last step was to cut a tiny hole on top and add ribbon to my tags, and that was it! These were so easy to make
