Tutorial: Creating Gift Tags with Documenter Kit Add-Ons with Maggie Massey

Hey everybody! Maggie here today with a quick and easy way to use pieces from your Documenter Kits and add-ons to create fun holiday (or anytime!) gift tags!

I started with my Highlands Documenter add-on, the Baking Tag stamp set and Jasmine Jones' Big Alpha Card Set (love this!) and then I grabbed a few more tools:

*some ink pads
*some adhesive
*a corner-rounder
*scissors
*a stapler
*& (not shown) a hole punch

Now comes the fun part...

I laid out all of my add-on pieces and then just got to work layering and embellishing the documenter cards with frames and transparent pieces and stickers to create my tags.


Once I adhered all my layers together, I punched holes in the top of each card and "addressed" them with the alpha stickers from the add-on.

I LOVE the simplicity of those big alpha cards! A little snip in the bottom of this "M" card turns it into a darling little banner... and the "Merry Everything" transparency on top really makes it awesome!

This little snowglobe transparency was so cool on it's own...all I did here was add a name.

For this little tag I used some of the stamps from the Baking Tag stamp set. These are some of the most adorable stamps EVER! And, because I plan on making a whole bunch of cookies this holiday season, I'm sure it will get a ton of use!

This is probably my favorite tag. More stamps from the Baking Tag set in a variety of colors complete this little card.

And finally, this tag definitely makes a statement. The little mint alpha in the middle makes the bold black of the card and letter really stand out.

These tags are were so fun (and so quick!) to create...and I can't wait to use them!

Do you have some Documenter cards you may not get around to using in your pockets scrap spreads? Why not use a few for your holiday gifts this year? Layer them up with some embellishments and your done! Quick, easy and fantastic!

    This is a fantastic idea! I've got the digital file for those large alpha cards, so I'm going to use those for sure!! Thanks to the Black Friday sales week, I've got some of those Canyonlands digital cards as well now, so I can put those to good use for sure. Thanks for sharing!!
