Santa Tag

Hi dear friends!  For those that celebrated Thanksgiving this past week, I hope it was wonderful.  Now is time to forge ahead with Christmas preparations.  I know a lot of people have already started.  I had planned to make things well beforehand but never did accomplish much.  So, crunch time begins for me!

A few weeks ago, I was off to a good start and made a tag using papers once again from the beautiful Pion Design.  This one features a vintage Santa image.


The base of the tag was covered with a pretty piece of paper and a border strip.  I layered the sweet Santa image onto red cardstock, tucked some cheesecloth underneath and attached it to the tag with foam squares.  A bit of red trim was adhered to the bottom of the tag.  Various snowflakes were made with Martha Stewart punches and K&Co gems attached to them.  The one snowflake has a pretty satin flower attached to it.  Some red seam binding and ribbon was placed at the top.


If you click on each image, you can see the details better.  I really love this Pion paper collection.  There are so many beautiful images to choose from.

Now, it's time for me to decorate the Christmas tree.  My husband and I got most of the decorations up outside with just a couple of things to finish there.  It's a lot of work but so rewarding when everything is done.  Thanks so much for taking time to stop and visit my blog and for the kind comments you leave.  I hope the week ahead is a wonderful one for you.

  1. Sweet tag, and great image of Santa climbing down the chimney. Wow, Patty, you are ambitious going straight from Thanksgiving to Christmas decorations! We get a live tree, so usually wait until daughter's b'day on the 15th.
