12 Tags of Christmas

Welcome to 12 Tags of Christmas 2020 + Challenge!

What a year it’s been! In this year of change and uncertainty, we’re so happy to be able to continue to share one of our favorite traditions with you: Welcome to 12 Tags of Christmas 2020!

This year, we asked 12 talented designers to create a tag inspired by a favorite Christmas carol. Their clever – and sometimes humorous – tags are sure to inspire. But their awesome tags are only half the fun; we always look forward to seeing what our designers’ tags inspire YOU to make, and we welcome you to join the fun by creating tags inspired by each day’s song (with a chance to win a shopping spree at ellenhutson.com to boot)!

To make it easy to share your tag, this post will be “pinned” to the top of our blog from December 1st through the 16th, so be certain to click the links below to each day’s post – or keep scrollin’ down – for new inspiration every day!

Let the fun begin…

One of your tags could win you a $100 shopping spree at ellenhutson.com. Link up your tag on this post (below) to enter!

But that’s not the only Christmas treat this year … remember to leave a little love for your fellow crafter each day – by commenting on their posts here on the blog – and you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing for one of three $25 gift codes to our store
