Welcome to the weekend. Every year, I plan to make some special tags for my gifts but then run out of time. So this year, I have tried to get a start on them early. I am feeling inspired by the challenge at Splitocoast this am from the Harry and David Gourmet site. Wow...beautiful gifts and lots of yummy food. I saw this peppermint bark and hence my tag was born.
I began by cutting my tag from heavy white cardstock using a tag die from MFT. I stamped the Nordic pattern from Simon Says Stamp down one side of my tag using Fired Brick Distress ink. Love that crisp and clean pattern. Reminds me of a cozy warm winter sweater. The snowflake is from Lawn Fawn which I die-cut and stamped with the same Nordic pattern.
I had a piece of old sheet music that I distressed with ink then cut to make into a bow and attached using a button. Stamped the sentiment from PTI and done.
There is Christmas music playing on the radio. I can't believe how quick it is coming. Phew...better get going and make some more tags.
Adding my tag to these challenges:
