Isn’t this a cute tag?  It’s inspired by a card that Nicole Picadura made.  I used the main element (the tree!), turned it into a tag and added some bling – okay, lots of bling – and a little tag.  The little jewelry tag punch say “a very” – that was done by just using a marker on a stamp from More Merry Messages and inking only those words.

I think I’ll make a matching bag now

These cute little bags are cased from Connie Babbert.  I made lots of them for a Christmas party- some will hold peppermint sticks, cinnamon sticks or marshmallows.  This is where I used up the last of my “googly eyes” cello bags.  To make more I cut some other cello bags that were the same width, just longer, to 5 1/4″ tall and then used the pinking hearts border punch to finish the top. 

Supplies
Stamp Set – Happy Hour
card stock – Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Be of Good Cheer DSP, Red glitter paper
Ink – Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler
Etc – Snow Flurry die, Gumball Green ribbon, Crystal Effects, 1 3/4 circle punch, circle #2 die

Thanks, Connie, for some great inspiration!  Hugs, Fran

This cello bag has a little topper made with the single stamp Bold Snowflake.  Again, it’s Bashful Blue and doesn’t want to photograph correctly.  The bag is embossed with the Petals a Plenty embossing folder – which is really pretty in real life. 

The center of the snowflake uses a stamp from Delightful Decorations and has a 1 1/4 scallop of silver glitter paper behind it.  I used the Two-Way glue pen on the bottom of the flake to make a temporary adhesive to hold the bag close. 

Supplies
Stamp sets – Bold Snowflake, Delightful Decorations, Itty Bitty Banners
card stock – Whisper White, Silver glitter, Bashful Blue
Ink – Bashful Blue
Etc – cello bag, Petals a Plenty embossing folder, Banner framelit, 1 1/4 scallop circle punch

This card uses all the items from the Ornament Keepsakes Big Bundle that was offered last month.  It always amazes me how much paper piercing adds to a card.
