Santa Gift Tags: 16 Christmas Designs in Color and Coloring Versions, 8 Pre-Signed From Santa

Santa gift tags for the presents that are meant to come straight from the North Pole. The set has sixteen designs on soft pink, sage green and cream, each framed with a double border in deep red or pine green, and every one is about Santa himself or something he would be carrying.

Signed by Santa

Designs 01 to 08 are written as if Santa filled them in. The heading says who sent the gift, and the From line already carries his name in a looping script:

• From Santa: a white parcel tied with a red bow and holly (01), a red wax seal with ribbon tails (04), and a postage stamp with Santa’s face (05)
• North Pole Workshop: a little workshop cottage with a wooden sled (02)
• Nice List: a rolled scroll with holly and a gold star (03)
• Shh… From Santa: Santa winking with a mittened hand to his mouth (06)
• From Santa and his reindeer: Santa on a snowy rooftop holding a star and his sack (07)
• Checked Twice: a red mitten holding a list (08)

You write the child’s name on the To line, and the handwriting on the From line is not yours.

Merry Christmas, and two with no words

Designs 09 to 14 all say Merry Christmas and leave both lines open. Their pictures are Santa’s things: his red hat, his face, his black belt with a gold buckle, Santa from behind with a green sack, a red and gold sleigh, and a bulging red sack. Designs 15 (a red bow with holly) and 16 (gold bells with a bow) have no heading at all, only the picture and the To and From lines.

Santa appears in person on five tags (05, 06, 07, 10 and 12). The other eleven show his mail, his list and his gear.

Shapes, sheets and versions

Six shapes are used. Circles (02, 04, 10) are 2.5 inches across, the ovals (01, 03, 16) are 2.5 inches wide and 2.25 tall, squares (08, 11, 15) are 2.5 inches, cut-corner tags (05, 07, 14) are 2.25 x 2.5, trapezoids (06, 12) 2.5 x 2.5, and the rounded rectangles (09, 13) 2 x 2.5. On a US Letter sheet they sit eight to a page, two across and four down, all upright.

The line-art version keeps the headings and the Santa signature, with the pictures as clean outlines to color. The PDF prints eight of them on one page; the PNG folder has all sixteen. In the wordless versions both the heading and the signature are gone, which turns designs 01 to 08 into plain picture tags anyone can sign. The PDF has one wordless color sheet of 01 to 08, and the PNGs cover all sixteen in color and in line art.

Printing and the cut files

Print at Actual Size (100%) on paper that matches the file, then cut along each tag’s outline and punch at the small circle near the top. A first page on plain paper shows how the pink and sage grounds come out on your printer before you switch to card stock.

The SVG and DXF files carry only the outer shape and the punch hole of each tag at full size, numbered to match the designs, for a cutting machine to cut the tag shapes from card stock.

Questions

Which tags are already signed by Santa?

Designs 01 to 08, in both the color and line-art versions. Their From line reads Santa in a looping script, so you only fill in the child's name. The Merry Christmas tags and the two picture-only tags leave From empty, and so do all the wordless tags in the Blank folder.

Can I add the names on a computer?

Yes. START-HERE.txt and the last PDF page link to two Canva templates, one for US Letter and one for A4. Sign in to your own Canva account, open the link, create your copy, change Recipient and Sender, and export as PDF Print. A long name may need a smaller font size.
