This month's hop is all about Christmas, which is my favorite holiday and my favorite time of year!!  I love that my friends and I use Christmas as an excuse to get together to bake and visit. I love that my family is all together on Christmas Day. 

 

I am finally getting around to wrapping gifts, and found that I need more tags, so I whipped up a few more, and my card was inspired by one I found on Pinterest. I love ornaments, and my tree is all red and green.

 

 

The card base is Old Olive, the papers used for the ornaments are from a K Company pack that I purchased at a local store.  I punched various sized circles in a piece of white cardstock, then punched out circles a size larger from the patterned paper and placed them under the white. I drew the hangers with a marker, the ornament topper is punched from the Modern Label punch. The sentiment is from the newer Six Sayings set and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I added some sparkle with a few sequins.

 

 

On to the gift tags.....

 

 

The Santa suit tag is made with Cherry Cobbler, with a black strip for his belt, and a white strip for the bottom of his coat. I cut a tiny square out of silver glitter paper to make a shiny belt buckle, the buttons I stamped using the eraser on my pencil which I inked up with Memento black ink.

The tree tag is cut from craft paper. I drew the tree on with an Old Olive marker, cut a star out with my Perfect Pines framelit.

The snowman is white cardstock, with a Pool Party hat. I added some sparkle with some silver ribbon on his hat, along with an orange button to match his nose.  I again used my pencil eraser to make his eyes and mouth, drew on a carrot for his nose.

All tags are 2 inches wide, and cut out with the tag topper punch, but any shape would work for the top of the tags, I think. Some coordinating ribbon, and you are done!!  :)

I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas goodies. 
I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy 2016.
