Today’s tag is more than just a gift tag…it would do a great job as a gift card holder too! (Watch the end of the video for that!) I’m picturing a bunch of these hanging on the family tree on Christmas morning with movie theater gift cards in them…a family outing, courtesy of Santa?!
Video
Enjoy the video below, or click HERE to watch it in HD on YouTube.
Measurements:
- Cut a sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock in 4 strips (8-1/2″ long x 2-3/4″ wide)
- Score at 3/4″ and 4-3/4″
If you’ve missed any of the previous tag videos in the series – I’m adding them all to one playlist HERE.
As promised, closeups of the tags…multicolored first:
All white lights, with Glossy Accents….
Red and green bulbs only, with white pencil highlights…
And oh so pretty peacock feathers ink! YUM. And do you see that one bulb where it crosses over from one panel to another and the bulbs seem to align? That was totally unplanned, but WAY cool!
From the response thus far, it seems this tag series is going over quite well….couple more days to go!

Great idea for hanging gift cards on a tree. Love the glowing lights.
These are so cute and I love the “glowing” lights.
Hi Sandy, my name ismLasona Roberson from Alabama, have a super tool for crafting making shaker cards haven’t seen it used but it’s a awesome tool for making dimension. I would like to share at this time I am unable to post pics on my blog lasona1.blogspot.com which would seem to sat there since my blog is still in ghost land soooo I have tried a few others because it is just the best and it’s super cheap so I don’t use my email u could also text me at [DELETED] or leave a comment on my blog. God bless
I don’t give out my phone number – and I’ve deleted yours from your comment, it’s not safe to do that. You can leave me a link to the product and I’ll look at it.
Oh ok sorry about the number thing..the product I am talking about can be bought at just about any store, made by Duck, home smart earth friendly weatherstrip seal, self adhesive foam 3/8 wide x 3/16 thick x 30″ long, it has 2 rolls in it, this does not have adhesive to both sides but my atg gun glides over it with great success, my shakers some of which are quite full never leak even glitter, it is strong and the perfect dimension it’s just great I love love it so easy to use, I can throw my cards (shakers together very quickly) hope you are able to give it a go..God bless
Now why didn’t I think of something like this for my nephews’ gift cards?! Will have to remember this for next Christmas. 🙂
Very cute tags and great idea for hanging gift cards from Santa on the tree!
Wow…the glow of the twinkling lights is fabulous. Thanks for showing the technique.
Love this technique! Beautiful tags!
Your tags are wonderful – love the special touches with the lights!
Lovely little tags and a wonderful idea! Being in Australia where its summer, the Christmas lights are more practical! Could do with a little bit of snow though. Thanks for all the inspiration Sandy!
I love the use of the white stamping and the use of the distress inks rather than die inks. I always look forward to seeing what you bring to the table next.
Sandy, these are wonderful. It ws fun seeing you use ink stamping vs Copics.
these are super cute…and I will be making these for my grands gift cards!!! The fun thing is I can personalize each one.
Cute tag and great gift card holder rolled into one. Love the bulbs the way you did them.
whoa these are amazing!!! I can’t wait to try it <3
such a great idea for the glow on the Christmas light bulbs. Great tags. Thank you for them
The white under stamping is new to me Love the look!
More wonderful tags! I could watch your videos all day. Thanks so much!
as always, super cute and just awesome!

Sandy you amaze me with your talent as an artist! I love these tags! Thank you so much!
These are amazing, love the use of the white ink to create the glow of the lights! Really like how you can use these to hold gift cards as well, just adorable!
These are so fun and festive! You make anything look realistic!!
LOVE this, Sandy! And for those who might have Amazon Prime, they also have that little bottle for the Glossy Accents/Crystal Effects. It’s a bit more expensive, but no shipping cost if you’re a Prime Member.
Very cute! I love the shine you created by daubing the white over the bulbs.
These tags are by far the best! I love that they can be used for gift card holders too! I also love the colors you used!
This technique really makes the lights shine. What are the dimensions of the tag? I might have missed this on the video. You do such amazing things. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. Going to try this …. this afternoon for the one and only gift card I purchased this year.
It’s listed in text in the post above 🙂
Great tags/gift card holder. You do amazing coloring Sandy!
How cool are these!! I really like all the different ways you did the lights. The fact that they can be gift card holders is just the icing on the cake!!
Loving all of the tags! 🙂
Oh, Sandy! These gift tags are so lovely! I love the Wplus9 stamps, too. Thank you so much for the inspiration and the wonderful video. I’m inspired to make them tonight! ♡
Sandy – these craft tags are great !!! I love the christmas lights !!!
Commented on youtube, so won’t repeat myself. Wondering where you got the bottle for the glossy accents. I’m not seeing it in the supply list. Would love to know, as I fight with my glossy accents always!
Oh shoot, I’ll get it added to the supply list, sorry!
These look so fun. That stamp set looks like fun also and worked great for this purpose.
What an amazing technique for the glowing light bulbs!! Thanks so much for sharing your talent!!!
Day 4 already? Time flies when you’re watching a genius at work! 😉 Love these bright, beautiful tags, Sandy! Such a fun design for a gift card holder! ♥
