Video: Quick and Easy Monogram Gift Tags

Hi everyone, Karen Brown here! I am one of the new members of Hero Arts Creative Team and I am excited to share a new video with you today. I am loving the new Letter Dies  and I thought they would be fun and festive on my gift tags.  

If you are having trouble viewing this video, please watch HERE on YouTube.

These tags combine some favorites of mine:

  • Die Cutting
  • Bright Bold Colors
  • Rub-On Hero Transfers
  • Interesting Die Cut Accents

Using the Nesting Tag Infinity Dies , I die cut five tags from Paradise , Cherry and Dove White  cardstock. My first tag I call "Joy to the World" and I chose to use the "J" die from DF167 Letter J-N Fancy Dies . I cut the "J" three times from Cherry  cardstock and glued them together for a nice substantial element. For a quick sentiment, I trimmed "Joy to the World" from the White Holiday Collage Hero Transfers  set and then rubbed onto the bottom of my tag. I think it is the kid in me, but I just love doing this!

R is for Robert and I used DF168 Letter O-R Fancy Dies  to die cut the R. For interest, I also die cut two linear accent strips using the new  Hole Punch Edge Fancy Die .  

B is for Brown (my last name) and since I love rub-ons so much, I covered the top tag with a White Holiday Collage Hero Transfer with text from A Christmas Carol.  The "B" die is included in the  DF165 Letter A-D Fancy Dies  set.

Here are links to the Alphabet Letter Sets:  A-D , E-I , J-N , O-R , S-V , W-Z  Or, you can buy the entire alphabet  at a discount!

Other products that I used on these tags:  Compact Cutter , Metal Snippers , Hero Arts Handy Tool Holder , Precision Glue , which you can find linked below.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and video!
