Printable Valentine’s Day Gift Tags

Free printable Valentines Day gift tags

It’s an exciting “first” today, guys: I made you some free printable gift tags to use for Valentine’s Day, or really any day you’ll be giving a gift to someone you XO or <3.  We’re keeping them really simple and minimal, which is a lot of why they can be used for other occasions, and even more simple is that all you need to do is print and cut them out.  Our mantra yet again applies: simple is best!

Another cool announcement is that this project was made possible through a new partnership with Canon that I can’t fully describe how terribly excited I am about it.  !!!  This is the first of a series of projects I’ll be sharing using printing capabilities, which means more printable freebies and personalized projects that will take us to new places in DIY territory.  In short, it’s going to be fun :).

I scanned my doodles with the PIXMA MG7720 Wireless Photo All-In-One Printer and created the gift tag template in Photoshop.  I printed it out on card stock and it looked like this!

After cutting them out and punching holes where the black dots are, I strung on some black hemp cord onto each tag.

If not for packaged gifts, these tags would work for tying around treat bags, or even a wrapped bouquet of flowers.

Bonus tip: I printed mine on this cardstock with a faux wood design on the back.  It adds on another interesting design element that I highly encourage you to experiment with.  Double sided cardstock could also look really cool as well.
