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.

Comments

  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: Embrovia

Embrovia is a cross stitch designer with a lot of funny designs, plenty of ghosts and cats and other fun things for you to stitch. Let’s take a closer look. 

I love the story of this shop, which I hope is true and not made up by AI, that it’s run by a husband who made cross stitch designs for his wife and then opened a shop. We’re just going to believe it’s true, OK?

The biggest category on their storefont is called “funny,” and that makes sense because there are a lot of funny designs here. From a duck with a knife to a dog on a toilet, there are lots of options here to stitch for that person on your list with a slightly off sense of humor. 

When I saw this caution: floor is lava design I knew that was the one I needed to share with you all. It uses six colors and measures 130 by 135 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 9.3 by 9.6 inches, or 23.7 by 24.6 cm. It only uses full cross stitches. 

Another big section is the one devoted to cats. This includes some more realistic looking cats, cat ghosts and superheroes, cats in coffee cups (or with coffee cups) and cats at computers. Other animals also feature in their designs, including bunnies, dogs, birds, capybaras, butterflies and more. 

There’s a pretty collection of floral patterns, and a nice set of patterns designed to be stitched on dark canvas (mostly black or red). Rounding out the offerings are designs focused on gaming, mountains, abstract/modern designs, patterns and mandalas and designs for the nursery. 

Check out all their fun designs at Embrovia on Etsy.
