‘Christmas Tags’ by Heather McMahon

Heather McMahon has created these stunning Christmas tags using the digital version of our new-release White Christmas pack by Maja Lindberg!

Heather leads us through her step-by-step process so you can create your own tags:

1. Using the digital “White Christmas” pack, print the first page of the pack (the one with the snowman) at a quarter size. I used an A4 sized pack, so I printed the page at A6 size. Also print out a full page of the green background page with the white snowflakes and the page with the words. Print both of these at normal size (A4 or US letter size).
2. Cut out each image, leaving a white border, then use a pen to trace around the images. Aren’t these gorgeous?
3. Cut out the four “Season’s Greetings” words from the words page, keeping them a similar width to the images.
4. Cut out rectangles from the background paper as the base for the tags. The length of my tags is half the width of the full sheet.  Use a corner punch on two corners and create a hole with a hole punch.
5. Ink the edges of all the images, the words and the tags.
6. Adhere the images and words in place. Use a sewing machine and, with a zig-zag stitch, stitch the ends of the words, leaving long tails on the threads.
7. Add ribbons. I picked out a colour from each tag and added a coordinating ribbon plus a fine green one that matched the tags.

Here are some close-ups of some of the tags:
