I was asked a question about making the little snowman gift tags in my Gift Tag Boxes so I thought I’m just do up a quick little tutorial for you and try to answer any other questions out there. They’re easy to make once you have the hang of what to do.
.

I used a bone folder to fold a piece of Whisper White cardstock in half. The bone folder gives a nice crisp fold which you really need for this since you’re going to be putting the folded cardstock into a punch.
.
.
.
Insert the folded cardstock into the Stampin’ Up! Small Tag Punch making sure you can see the fold in the “hole” so you’re not punching on it.
.
.
In other words, once you’ve punched the tag out, you want the remaining hole to look like this.
.
.
And you want the tag you punched out to look like this.
.
.
Stamp the outside as desired. You can do the stamping before punching as well but with the tag from the Two Cool Dudes Stamp Set I find it easier to stamp after punching.
.
.
Punch another tag without any folds out of cardstock using the Stampin’ Up! Tag Punch (this one is larger than the other we used with the white.) You’ll notice I’m using Night of Navy Cardstock here, however, in the first picture you saw I used Whisper White, you can do whatever suits you and your style.
Layer the stamped tag onto the larger tag and then attach ribbon or cord as you desire and write a little message inside. It’s that easy! If you have further questions please don’t hesitate to ask by leaving a comment or using the Contact Me button here or at the top of the page.
Really cute idea! Thanks for sharing.
Becky, Thank You so much for sharing this with us. Yes it helped a lot. It is so cute. I just love snowmen.
What a fantastic little tutorial Becky, loved the pictures and your explanations! This is a great idea. I like the tag punches and sometimes don’t use them as there’s not enough room to write anything………….now you’ve given me the perfect solution.! TFS!
