Cross Stitched Gift Tags for Christmas or Whenever

by

cross stitched holiday gift tagsI am pretty much in love with these cross-stitched gift tags from Craft and Creativity. They use purchased gift tags with holes in them, but you could punch holes in card stock tags to get a similar look.

The ones shown in the pattern (which is in both English and Swedish) have holiday/winter motifs like a snowflake and a reindeer, but you could use the same idea to make any simple little design you wanted for any gift-giving occasion that needed a little more handmade flair.

Is this something you would make? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

  1. I really want to purchase these gift tags, but when I went to the site to purchase it was all in Scandinavian. I could not figure out how to. Any suggestions? I just think they are adorable and would add such a nice touch to all my gifts. Thank you!

  2. Google Translate did a good enough job that I can see they are out of stock. A quick search on Amazon (looking for gift tags to cross stitch) came up with a couple of things, but they aren’t the same.

  3. I been looking all over to purchase these kind of things for stitching, where can I find them?

Designer Spotlight: Haunted Frames

Cute spooky and fantasy cross stitch patterns is how the designer behind Haunted Frames describes their shop, and I have to agree with them. These designs are cute and Gothic and a little bit spooky all at once. There’s a heavy focus on book themes, which you know I am a fan of, so let’s get into it. 

Stopping first in the books section, there are lots of designs that are literally on book shapes, but if you know my love of both books and cats, you’ll know I had to share the Midnight Book Cart cross stitch pattern. As the name suggests it’s a design with a witchy book cart, complete with a spiderweb, bats flying out of a book and what it describes as a ghost cat (though I would have to make a black cat instead of a white one since I have a black cat, and that fits with the vibe). 

The design is 65 by 97 stitches and is worked in 17 colors. It’s shown on 16 count fabric, which makes it 4.1 by 6.1 inches, or 10.3 by 15.4 cm. 

I also love the winter themed little free library design, which would be perfect to stitch up for the little librarian in your life (or to drop at a neighborhood book space). 

Projects with a book theme make up the majority of the patterns that are categorized in this shop, but you’ll want to scroll through all their patterns to see what else is available, since it doesn’t look like everything is in a category. You’ll find castles and dragons, more cats of course, some more obviously Halloween and Christmas themed projects and those that would suit for spooky season or any other time of year.
