Dear friends, here is a little gift for those of you in need of a breath of fresh air (and free gift tags). I'm sharing some care-free tags for some last minute casual gift wrapping. If you're overwhelmed by the invasion of free gift tags featuring cute Christmas trees, Santa, Rudolf and so on, or if you need a shift from tradition, you can use my alternative gift tags, based of my own photos from the blog. The tags are free to download here.
My free gift tags are less conventional, but they still fit into the Christmas feel. I've made 10 different designs, each one shaped like a bauble ornament. So basically they can be printed and hung in the Christmas tree, why not?! The tags come in different colors, so they can be assorted to many kids of wrapping paper.
For a neat look, wrap your gifts in solid color paper (or craft paper, I bet it would look terrific!) and hang the bauble gift tags by a piece of yarn in a matching color. I went the extra mile and wrapped my gifts in ombre shades of mint. The vivid colors of the gift tags will stand out from the crowd :)
Or you can go crazy and choose a busy patterned wrapping paper and some neon string. Hang a bunch of gift tags on the same present, instead of just one. It looks like fun!
If you're curious to discover from which of my blog posts I've taken the photos, take a peak here:
1. Orange and purple flowers from the Autumn Flower Ball tutorial
2. The inside of a crystal Chalk Paint Vase
3. The inside of a blue vase from my Sand, Sea and Sky shooting
4. Apple shaped gravel from What To Do?
5. Red peony petals from Don't Play With Your Food
6. A snowflake made of mini pegs in Winter Valentine
7. Hyacinth bulbs from How To Force Bulbs For Winter
8. Painted toothpics in the process of making Mad Hatter Cupcake Toppers
9. 3. The inside of a yellow vase, also from my Sand, Sea and Sky shooting
10. A snowflake of paper boats from my Origami Garland

Thank you so much, Vesna, perhaps you'll use them some day! And sorry for the late response - on Friday I thought that my home computer had seen its last days!
DeleteThese are great! I love that you put photos in the ornaments. And I was just looking for holiday tags last night without much success. Perfect timing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you use some of these tags, Elisa! And sorry for the late response - on Friday I thought that my home computer had seen its last days!
Deleteoh these are so cute. i love the pop of color they give to the simple packaging, perfect. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine - did you know that I printed the mint ombre paper myself? I did :)
DeleteAnd I'm sorry for the late response - on Friday I thought that my home computer had seen its last days!
they are all so pretty - like little glass ornaments!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Yelle, that is exactly my intention - I wanted to make the tags look like transparent glass ornaments filled with tiny things :) Sorry for the late response - on Friday I thought that my home computer had seen its last days!
DeleteYou know, if this was a quiz, I would score 9/10! I wasn't sure of no.2, but now I know better :)
ReplyDeleteLove your work!
First of all, sorry for the late response - on Friday I thought that my home computer had seen its last days! And, dear Ana, quiz or no quiz, you deserve a gold medal and a diploma. There is no one on this earth to look at my home pics with such love as you - and remember them better than I can do myself :)
DeleteThank you <3

Thank you so much for visiting and for the kind words, Christy!
DeleteYour tags are delightful and I think I'm slightly in love with your mint wrapping paper.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Magali - so proud to tell you the secret - I printed the mint paper myself!
DeleteLOVE these "not-so-Christmas" gift tags! ;) Your designs are always so creative! And wrapping in ombre shades of mint is like going an extra 100 miles. I love little details like that and never would have thought if it myself!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Amy, I hope you'll use the tags some day!
DeletePS: I've designed and printed the ombre mint paper myself, so you can do it too :)
