#G45Tags: Last Minute Christmas Magic Gift Card Tags Tutorial

Hello, Friends! Happy Friday! Let the Christmas countdown begin. I’m just popping in with a last minute Christmas Magic Gift Card Tags Tutorial today. It seems that everyone wants gift cards for Christmas these days, so I feel that we should at least make the packaging feel like a gift! This set of 8 tags can be made very quickly using Graphic 45’s Christmas Magic Collection. They can also double as ornaments on the tree, which is extra fun.

Do any of you have any of the Graphic 45 Alpha Tags in your stash? That’s what I used as the base for these adorable tags. If you don’t have those, you can use any of the Graphic 45 Regular Tags and ATC tags instead.

The front of each tag contains a little “book” that is tied shut with ribbon. On the inside you’ll find the “B” side of a Christmas Magic ephemera card and a little gift card pocket. To maket he tags feel even more festive, I’ve tucked in a Brach’s miniature candy cane.

Here’s a look at each of these Christmas Magic Gift Card Tags:

Graphic 45 Christmas Magic Easel Card for the RRR Blog Hop

Hello, Ribbon Lovers! It’s time for the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop! You should be coming here from Karen’s lovely blog. Today I have a cheery and festive Graphic 45 Christmas Magic Easel Card. It’s been decked out with several of the beautiful ribbons from the October Ribbon Club Assortment.

Easel cards are probably one of my favorite fancy folds to make because they can double as home decor. This 6″ x 6″ Graphic 45 Christmas Magic Easel Card has some fun features inside, too.

This collection and Red Taffeta Ribbon just go together like Santa and his Elves. You can see another card created with this collection and this ribbon HERE. In addition to the Red Taffeta Ribbon, I’ve used white crochet lace, Christmas Dots and Red Ovals Satin, and Christmas Green Zig Zag on White Satin Ribbons.

When the holidays are done, you can fold this Graphic 45 Christmas Magic Easel Card up and put it away until next year. Gotta love that!

I had fun creating the stopper for this card. These Christmas Novelty Buttons added just the right touch of fun to the card design.

This little treat pocket is also sized to hold a gift card. I always like it when a card can double as a gift!

From here, you should hop on over and see what amazing creation my sweet friend Linsey has prepared for you this month. Be sure to finish the hop over on the RRR Blog so that your name will be entered into the drawing for your very own October Ribbon Club. Look how gorgeous these ribbons are!

Christmas Magic Card Folio for Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello, Ribbon Lovers! Have you had a chance to play with the gorgeous ribbons in the RRR October Ribbon Club yet? This Christmas Ribbon Assortment looks like old fashioned Ribbon Candy, and it inspired me to create this Christmas Magic Card Folio.

I don’t know about you, but I am loving this color combo! The Graphic 45 Christmas Magic collection is the perfect playmate for the 5/8″ Red Taffeta Ribbon that comes in the Ribbon Club.

This 5″ x 7″ top fold card has a 1/4″ spine. It’s a super quick and easy make, but the colors and images just pop! Gold metallic string adds just the right touch of holiday sparkle.

If you haven’t worked with taffeta ribbon before, you are in for a treat. It ties crisp, beautiful bows and is very , very easy to work with. I can see myself turning to this red taffeta ribbon again and again for holiday cards!
