Snowman Gift Tag

Snowman Gift TagThis Snowman Gift Tag was printed on a 2″ by 3.5″ business card and designed with resources from My Digital Studio.

The left image is the Snowman from the Holiday Blitz brush set, in Night of Navy, with a default drop shadow. The effect is a frosty look on the snowman part of the image. On the right, I used the Snowflake from the Best Wishes & More brush set, also in Night of Navy, set to 19% opacity.

The “Ready, Set, Snow!” sentiment is Sentiment 3 from Best Wishes & More, in Night of Navy. The “To – From” sentiment is from A Holly, Jolly Christmas, also in Night of Navy.

Santa’s Sleigh Gift Tag

Santa's Sleigh Gift TagThis is another gift tag sized to print on a 2″ by 3.5″ business card. You could add a piece of Sticky Strip to the back or punch a hole in the corner and add a string to attach to your present.

The background is Cherry Cobbler at 70% opacity. The borders are Dots from the Christmas Jingle Border at 78% opacity (to mute them a bit. 100% was too harsh). The snowflakes are Dotted Snowflake 1 from the Old Saint Nick Brush Set. They were in the original Basic Black, as stamped, but with opacity turned down to 18. I stamped and rotated them slightly. The sleigh is the Sled stamp from the Old Saint Nick Brush Set in Cherry Cobbler at 100% opacity. The label is from the Winter Post Brush Set in Basic Black.

Island IndiSnow Holiday Gift Tag

Island IndiSnowThis gift tag uses Island Indigo, hence the play on words for the name “indisnow.”

The ribbon on the bottom is actually a red color, but changing the opacity resulted in that deeper shade. For the snowflake, I maximized the drop shadow to give it the glowing effect, using an effect like the one for Coloring Paper Daisies.
