vintage gift tags and stand
I’ve been kicking the card stand idea around for awhile. I would love to be able to display a card easily but alas, I only have one frog. So I came up with this decorative stand design that is easily cut out and then folded to include along with a greeting card. Fun, eh?
But even more fun is playing with these little vintage postcard printable. I found them when I was searching for designs to print on fabric the other day. These were really quite simple and look stunning with the popped up elements and a little bit of glitter. Finish with a bow and it’s a keeper for sure.
I love this old Santa with a maritime scene.
And this little angel is cute, too.
But I love the little snow birds most of all.
Tips for making these gift tags:
-Print them smaller than a normal post card.
-Copy elements to cut out and pop up and print along with the master.
-Glitter before anything else.
-Cut out and add popup details using dimensional adhesive like pop dots.
-Finish with a bow and decorative scissors.
-Don’t forget to include a decorative stand that coordinates.
Behold the loveliness!
I cut mine out of cardstock at 6″ wide. Score and fold in half. Tada! They are ready to use. How easy was that?

Irene – the file included here is in a zip format and included the stand in a bunch of different file types. There are a lot of free programs to open the zip file, just do an online search. As far as instructions, the only instructions are on the post. I hope this helps.
