Christmas in July Die Cut Gift Tags

Jul 23, 2019 | Christmas, Rubbernecker, Tags | 3 comments

Today I’m celebrating “Christmas in July” with a fun assortment of die cut gift tags.  I’ve created a masculine tag with a wildlife theme, a snowman and train tag perfect for the kids on your gift list and finally a beautiful and feminine poinsettia tag.  These tags will look beautiful on gifts and can be used as ornaments on the tree.  Over the years I have made gift tag sets like this to give to my friends for Christmas gifts.  They are always appreciated.  All the dies I used were made by Rubbernecker Stamps.  Scroll down to each tag for a list of dies used.
