Instead of decorating my trees today, I headed to my craft room and made tags. I did get the ornament boxes out of the attic so maybe tonight or in the morning....baby steps I guess. :) I'm having too much fun making tags for the 12 Tags of Christmas With A Feminine Twist over at Ellen Hutson's Classroom blog. Today I was inspired by Julie Ebersole's tag. I liked how she used a felt tree on kraft cardstock with baker's twine at the top of her tag. I have always admired how white looks on kraft cardstock so I heat embossed my sentiments. I cut small red felt trees with a Sizzix Framelit die. Julie attached her felt tree on her tag by sewing. Since my felt trees were very small I decided to staple them on with Tim Holtz mini staples. I topped each tree with a single green sequin. I put a Christmas mix baker's twine in the top of my tags. I cut too many trees and had a couple of white cardstock tags laying on my desk so made them up too with a green ink. You can never have too many tags at Christmas. (My girls like to help themselves to my crafty works). :) These were simple to make but I really like how they turned out. Thanks for stopping by this busy time of year and who knows I might have my trees decorated the next time you visit. ;)
