Look at these CUTE Holiday Tags that I made for my Bags & Tags class last week!
I saw on Pinterest a photo of some stickers and thought I bet I can make those with my punches and dies and they would be so super cute. I stayed up late one night finishing these cute things because once I got started I was so excited with how they were turning out. I have one more that I want to create but haven’t had a chance to sit down yet to do it. And guess what I created a tutorial to share with everyone! Merry Christmas from me to you! The link will be at the bottom of the post. Here are some close up pictures for each tags.
Mr. Snowman
Cute Penguin
Rudolph the Reindeer
Santa
Aren’t they the cutest tags? I loved them and so did all the girls that came to class last week.

Merry Christmas!

Hey – I’m back with some more cards for you. I hope this gives you ideas if you still need some. You do have a couple more days to get them in the mail. I know when I mail something locally it gets there the very next day so that should give me until Saturday to finish up my cards. I did get a big batch of cards out already – about 50 – those were the MDS cards mostly to family and family friends. Now I’m working on some stamped cards to send.
Here we go –

I have more Christmas card ideas for you – are you ready?
So you don’t even need a Christmas stamp set to make a Christmas card – this was a swap card by Joyce Pandolfi (from at least a year ago – but I love this idea). She used Circle Circus and a 3/4″ circle punch and made a tree! How clever is that?
This is a little cheat sheet for creating the base of the tree. Stamp, then cut as shown, layer on a piece of Chocolate Chip and cut to create the mat.
Early Espresso Core-dinations card stock, Woodgrain Embossing folder, Festival of Prints paper stack, Scentsational Season stamp set, Red Glimmer Paper
This is my slightly altered version of Cindy’s card that I already posted.
Star Tree, More Merry Messages, Be of Good Cheer Designer paper, Gold Embossing Powder, Northern Flurry Embossing Folder
swap card by Carol Sandison
Broadsheet Alphabet, Scentsational Season, Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, Apothecary Accents Framelits
Swap card by Elisabeth
Perfectly Preserved Bundle, Scentsational Season Bundle, Be of Good Cheer designer paper
Swap card by Jennifer DiMarco
I’m trying to decide when to post the last 5. Tomorrow I have the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge – come see – I have sneak peek items!! And I have a super cute set of tags I want to share too so you have time to make them. So I might (not for sure but might) post the last 5 of the 25 cards later today. That leaves Friday for tags and Saturday another tag idea. Ok off to do some other crafting and a bit of cleaning in the craft room too.
See ya…..

I had lunch with my brother today and then went shopping. The longest line I stood in was actually at Panera to get lunch. It was standing room only and the line was out the door. The high school kids added to the lunch time crowd. Today was exams and they got out early. I also waited in line at the Post Office but at the stores where I shopped not so much – which was good for me.

Sorry I forgot to post this earlier on Sunday so here it is now. The day just got away from me. It rained pretty much all day. Ryan had his last driving lesson with the instructor and she took him on the course where he will actually take his driving test for his license. He did it all in the pouring rain including all the parking and she said he did great on every thing. His test is Friday afternoon. Then I came home and wrapped Christmas presents – I’m almost done with everything that I already bought. Now I just have a little bit more to buy.
More Christmas card ideas for you.
Scentsational Season Bundle, First Edition Designer Paper, Early Espresso and Sugar & Spice Embossing Powder.
Card idea from Kimberly van Diepen
Two things I did on this card – I mixed the Early Espresso and Sugar & Spice Embossing powders together and then used them on the Gingerbread Men. And I used a sponge to rub Crumb Cake ink on my white baker’s twine to give it a more vanilla/vintage look to it.
Scentsational Season Bundle, Red Glimmer Paper, Woodgrain Embossing folder.
