Gift of Tags in a Handmade Bag With Faux Wooden Handles

I wanted to make a special gift bag full of tags for some gifts this year and I found a tutorial for a gift bag with faux wooden handles here on the Mixed Up Craft blog. I wanted to use two sided patterned cardstock but found it was not strong enough to hold up the handles so I added an extra layer of thick cardstock inside and decorative elements by the handles and was thrilled with how my gift bags turned out. One of the tags I made is tied here and here are the rest of the tags I created: 

You all know I am die cut crazy and I love 3D embossing folders too, so I had fun creating all these different tags for my gifts. 

Wishing you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too!
