Last week I received a box of Fiskars Large Easy Squeeze Punches. So naturally I made simple holiday gift tags for every gift. And it was super easy! You could even make these with your little ones. The first thing I did was paint water color stripes or lines on a piece of water color card stock. I painted sort of random stripes creating a plaid pattern. One with a mix of reds, the other in greens….it’s Christmas! Once dry, simply cut out using the large shape punches. I love that you can frame exactly what you want to cut out. I cut each miniature painting using the seal and hexagon punches. Simply use a small hole punch to add a piece of twine and add to a gift with fresh greenery or a small flower. I almost always use kraft paper in black or natural and twine that is available everywhere these days. Simple, homemade, done!
It’s easy to see exactly what you are cutting out with these punches. Here we are just framing the random stripes, but if you are using photographs or something with lettering, Fiskars punches makes it easy to frame your design.

This is a great tool. I always make my own tags using Christmas cards from previous years, this would make it look even more polished.
Thanks,

I have a hole drawer of punches and that one (the 2 inch?) is one of my favorites because its so versatile. It really does make the perfect tags, usually when I’m in a pinch!
