Quick Tips for Last Minute Gift Tags

December 19, 2024December 18, 2024Leave a comment

Hello there! My tutorial today is not on construction of a file but is more about time savings! We are all busy this time of year so I am going to show you how I whip up a few cute Lori Whitlock gift tags in minutes!

I chose a set of tags that were same style, different design. That’s not necessary but makes for fast tracking your project if your time is limited and you want to add a special touch to your gifts. I doubled all the pieces to make 2 sets of tags.

Christmas Tag Santa (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Penguin (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Polar Bear (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Snowman (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

In the Lori Whitlock Store you can also buy all of these tags as a bundle HERE.

Christmas Tag Bundle

I opened each tag file and made a copy of each one. (Ctrl + arrow button). One of them I keep grouped and resize it very small and pull it off to the side(will use for reference only). The second one I ungroup (rt click on file, choose ungroup)

Once ungrouped, I pull each color off to the side. Repeat 3 more times with the other files.

You can see above that I have all 4 grouped files resized to a very small size and set off to the side for reference. This allows you to refer to them after cutting so you can re-group the misc pieces back to the Santa, penguin, snowman and polar bear tag. In this instance, the bear is the only one that has ears, so he’s easy to spot! All the other tan backgrounds are exactly the same size and shape. Very convenient!

By doing this, you can cut one mat of tan and another of white, pink, orange, and black. You can see I also used four different colored 6×6 patterned papers on my first mat -all my hats done at once. Another space saver! I normally have two mats ready for a project so that I can have the second mat ready to load and cut while I am clearing the other mat off. Quite a time saver.

As usual, I always make duplicate of the small pieces in case I lose one. Never fails something disappears! Also if you want your hat bands to be white, add them to the white group.

From there just match up the pieces of each different design and glue up. It takes minutes to glue them all up. I timed myself to see how long it took me- literally less than 2 minutes for each one, and that was while being distracted watching a Hallmark movie LOL! I think it took me 15 minutes to glue up all 8 tags.

I hope you can find a few minutes to make some cute little gift tags-Lori has so many cute sets to choose from!

Adorable 4×6 Vertical Mini Album with Pockets and Tags

January 9, 2023January 9, 2023

Hi there paper crafting friends! It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the Lori Whitlock blog to share a mini-album I made using the Farmer’s Market collection that Lori designed for Echo Park Paper Co. I used the 4×6 Vertical Mini Album with Pockets & Tags (SVG, Silhouette) to make the mini-album. The album was easy to put together and can be decorated with your favorite stickers and embellishments to make the project pop.

The project includes four pockets and tags as well as four rectangular pieces that can be used to frame your photos on the back of each pocket. You can easily include a picture on the front and back of each tag. I added an extra piece of cardstock to my tags for more color along with a few embellishments.

Until next time,

Colorful Christmas Tags with Traci

December 21, 2022December 16, 2022

Hey there friends! Traci here and today I’m sharing a project that is something we all use this time of year – gift tags! These are simple, so much fun to make, and add a sweet little handmade touch to your presents. They’re also a quick craft project if you’re short of time this holiday season.

I used Lori’s Essential Christmas Tag Bundle cutting file (SVG, Silhouette: Tree, Snowman, Gift, Snowflake) and it’s awesome! There are 12 designs to choose from and I love them all.

The Christmas tree tag might be my favorite. I added lots of enamel dots in a variety of sizes for the ornaments and included some yellow twine at the top.

The snowman is so handsome with his plaid scarf and top hat. You could use this one any time during the winter season … like for a birthday, thank you, get well, or thinking of you.

Tie these colorful tags to a gift bag, a bottle of wine, a basket of goodies, a wrapped box, or maybe a plant or poinsettia you’re giving someone.

You can also use these in your scrapbooking. Add them to a page for decoration or use the backside for journaling or as a photo mat for small pictures.

I chose a plain textured card stock for my tags but patterned papers would look great too. Add rhinestones, stickers, die cuts, or any embellishment. Have fun with these!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll visit Lori’s shop for more amazing craft ideas. Happy holidays!
