Let's get the fun started with Christmas TAGS from DT member Shellye McDaniel
*** *** ***
Hello! Shellye here with some fun tags featuring a few of pieces from Simple Stories' "Claus & Co." Collection and various florals and trim from Petaloo!
I started with three of the Interactive Elements and layered them onto larger mats of 4X6 journal cards and patterned paper.
The first tag includes the "matchbook" interactive piece. The red Tinsel Trim was glued to around the back edge of the book before it was attached to the journal card. To the bottom of the book, a cluster of pine cones, sugared blooms and textured pieces were added.
The second tag includes the pull-out pocket and tag as the focal point. One of the cardstock stickers from the Collection Kit was attached at the top. The tag was further embellished with a small bow of red metallic cording and two of the red Burlap Poinsettias.
The final tag features the tri-fold interactive that was trimmed with a piece of red ric rac at te bottom. The Pine Cone Pick w/ Berries was taken apart; the greenery was glued in place followed by one of the green textured layers. The berries were snipped from the wire and glued to the center of the flower with fabric glue. A large metallic bow and sticker sentiment completes the tag.
The tags can be added to gift baskets, bags or packages and then used for an ornament by the recipient. These were so quick and fun to put together!

The flowers are really great. I like how they aren't evenly colored. What a great look.

I love these sweet old fashioned tags and the Petaloo flowers and pine cones are SO awesome as embellishments! The poinsettias are my favorite.

Christmas tags achieve a higher level of art with this combo of Petaloo and the simple stories "Claus" paper. So special.
