10 Easy Christmas Gift Tags and Cards

November 5, 2012 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 6 Comments

We love to make Gift Cards from  recycled supplies or items already in our craft stash. Since we began A Spoonful of Sugar back in 2008, we have made a variety of Christmas gift cards. It was fun going back through our archives to see all the different styles we have used over the past few years. That is what we love most about blogging – keeping a record of all of our crafting and baking.
We have grouped all of our Christmas Gift Tag and Cards ideas together in this post as some of our newer readers may not have seen them all. We hope we can inspire you to get your crafting on for Christmas!
Get the kids involved – many of our ideas are perfect for kids or for when you need to mass produce cards/tags. We think it adds a nice home made touch to your Christmas gift.

    I love all your tag and card projects! I was going to make that paint chip tag when you first posted it, but I could never find a tree punch. Now there are so many on the market that I might have better luck. I have made the recycled card tags, which was quite fun. Definitely want to try more of these for this year’s round of gifts.

A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun look A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun looking back at where I was in 2016 and how far life has come since then. Swipe for a little trip down memory lane.Back in 2016, my priorities were firmly centred around family. I was working full‑time, sewing in the guest room, sharing tutorials on my blog, and slowly dipping my toes into selling a handful of patterns on Etsy. It was a busy, full season — and creativity was something I fitted in around everything else.  Fast forward to 2026… I’m now retired and living the creative life I once dreamed of. My kids have grown up and are living in their own homes nearby. My husband and I are free to travel, explore, and enjoy this stage of life. And I get to spend my days designing, sewing, and connecting with this beautiful community.Life looks different now — in the best possible way.Were you following me back then, or what has changed for you over the past 10 years? I’d love to hear your story too.Tagging the lovely makers of my quilt: @arabesquescissors @ministryoffabric @belloquacity @alittlepatchwork @sameliasmum coleandtaffy @quiltymamaof4 @shequiltsalot @downgrapevinelane @lizzierosesews @lovethatfabric @sew_mimi.k #2026isthenew2016 #10yeartransformation #sewingjourney #sewingcommunity #aspoonfulofsugardesigns
