Craft Templates: Tag Template Gift Tag Patterns

Instructions:

1. Print out the tag pattern below in 2 sizes or use your tag template to create a tag out of white cardstock in 2 sizes. Cut out a white tag that is larger than the blue tag. Glue the blue tag onto the white tag.
2. Tear a piece of the white fiber paper and glue it onto the blue tag. It does not have to be a perfect shape.
3. Using the decorative edged scissors, cut out a strip of scrapbook paper that fits the width of the blue tag and glue it on as seen in the picture.
4. Punch out 2 small flower motifs and a larger flower motif out of the blue cardstock.
5. Punch out a circle out of the scrapbook paper.
6. Use the Sizziz Sidekick and the butterfly Sizzlet and cut the shape out of the blue cardstock. Now use the “friends” template and die cut this motif out of white cardstock.
7. Cut out of blue cardstock a rectangle larger than the “friends” word and glue the motif on this shape. Punch 2 holes at the top corners of the rectangle and insert the small brads.
8. Glue the small circle on the larger flower and also punch a hole in the center of the circle, flower and through the tag. Insert a brad in the holes and attach the flower to the tag with the brad.
