Dove Gift Tags

Inspiration

Today's post has two gift tags - they use the same stamps from the Christmas Cheer Collection from Heartfelt Creations, and the matching Christmas Cheer Die - a great way to cut out a stamped image! And they use the same basic layout, but very different paper and ribbon to create different looks. Either would add an elegant touch to a special package.
