I love this cute Christmas Tag. The sequins are from my own stash. I have a ton of them and am on a mission to use them. The Celebration Tags dies make this cute pocket. I cut out the front and added some acetate to turn it into a shaker tag. The paper is the Storybook Gnomes and I love this Pacific Point blue with the little snowflakes.

Below you can see a different version in Garden Green. Which do you prefer?

This is a good size box. It will fit at least 4 crackers with treats. I’ve used a memory and more journalling card from the Santa Express suite to decorate the box. The little hearts are from the Cracker & Treat Box die set that I used to make the crackers in the previous post.

Aren’t these lovely? They are super easy to make with the cracker and treat box die. It takes all the hassle out of making your own crackers. It measures and scores everything for you. All you have to do is fold and glue. The kids can even get involved.

There are two ways to make up these crackers. You can either make them so they have a boxy shape or a more rounded appearance. The choice is yours. I show how to do both in the video tutorial below.

These fat-bottomed gift bags are easy to make. This one has a magnetic closure. The magnets are hidden behind the patterned paper. I’ve used a sentiment on the front but you could equally stamp a name and use these as place markers at the table. They would be lovely with some homemade fudge as a goodie bag as well.

measurements

  • Evening Evergreen Cardstock – 10 1/2″ X 8″ scored:
  • Long side 3″, 5″,8″, 10″
  • Short side at 2″ from each side.
  • Painted Christmas / Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper
    • 2 3/4″ X 3 3/4″ X 2 pieces
    • 2 3/4″ X 1 3/4″ X 2 pieces

This looks so good, doesn’t it? You can add a ribbon to hang it or add it as a topper to a gift box or even a napkin ring. These rosettes are very easy to make. There are dies that can be used to make these but you don’t need them. I just used my scoring tool and bingo there you go.

Measurements

  • Painted Christmas / Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper – 12″ X 1″ X 2 strips. Scored at every 1/2″ on the long side.

Make a Large Christmas Tag With Me

I like big tags such as this one as they can double as a Christmas card as well. Two for the price of one, can’t be bad. This tag is actually the size of an A6 card front. I’ve rounded the top edges for some extra interest.

I’ve used the Painted Christmas designer series paper which makes a great background. The flowers and leaves were all stamped in one go and cut out together which means making this tag is easy and simple.

Using a Simple Design

This panel design is very simple design and easy to tweak. Here I’ve divided up my background piece into three equal-sized panels and placed a different word on each one.

I’ve done this type of card before but this time I’ve tweaked it by adding the little wood veneer elements. These are called Textural Elements. They are coloured using a sponge dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink pad. I’ve let them dry and then added some Wink of Stella for some Christmas bling.

Look!! Cute Christmas Card For You Today

Look!! Cute Christmas Card For You Today – Caroling Mice – Watercolouring – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Aren’t these little mice so adorable? I love them. They remind me of the little mice from Bramley Hedge. They create a traditional Christmas card that anyone would be happy to receive.

I coloured these mice using my water painter and ink pads. It’s a very simple and easy way to watercolour. One thing to note is to use the correct paper. I used Shimmery White which takes water very well. You could also use watercolour paper but remember that it’s textured and therefore more difficult to stamp on.

measurements

  • Pacific Point Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Shimmer White – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Basic White – 14.35cm X 10cm
