Anyone else love adding a little holiday theatrical flair to their gift wrapping? I sure do, and the new Nutcracker Tags Kit (166226) feels like opening night of your very own Christmas crafting production!
Just like the classic Nutcracker ballet, this adorable kit brings Christmas magic to life. You’ll create 12 tags, 3 each of 4 designs, each one starring its own charming nutcracker, complete with glittering gold accents and festive holiday colors. With precut pieces, printed sentiments, twine, and even the adhesive included, you’re ready to begin crafting the moment you open the box.
And here’s a charming twist, the kit materials make the most adorable Christmas cards! So, your creativity can dance well beyond the tag stage. If you love your gifts to look extra magical under the tree, this kit is sure to become a holiday favorite. And grab an extra box if you’d like your cardmaking to join the performance!
Nutcracker Tags Greeting Cards
This was my favorite card of the whole crafting session! It comes together by layering three assembled and fussy cut nutcrackers from the Nutcracker Tags Kit onto a cheerful plaid pattern from the Traditions of Christmas 12″ x 12″ Specialty DSP. The Granny Apple Green tag back helps anchor the trio, while the glittery “Believe in the Magic of Christmas” sentiment takes center stage. It’s a quick, whimsical design that brings all the charm of the Nutcracker ballet right onto your card front!
This bright and cheerful card features one of the Nutcracker Tags Kit characters layered over a stitched scalloped rectangle for a sweet focal point. The Shy Shamrock tag back, accented with glittery gold ends and holly leaves, creates a playful backdrop. The floral pattern from the Traditions of Christmas 12″ x 12″ Specialty DSP frames everything beautifully. The “Sending Joy” sentiment finishes the design. It’s a quick and festive layout that delivers big holiday charm!
The above quick and festive cards all begin with a richly textured background embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing folder, each one in a different bold holiday color to let the Nutcracker Tags Kit characters shine. A coordinating tag back anchors the nutcracker, while glittery gold banner ends and punched holly leaves add sparkle and dimension. Each design is finished with a bold sentiment, making every card feel joyful and gift-ready. Simple layers, bright colors, and those charming nutcracker details come together to create a set of cards that’s merry, magical, and wonderfully easy to make!
