The Make

The Greetings of the Season dies are my product of the month for December, I've used the rectangle tag here instead of a circle. '25' has been cut from a new die set, Birthday Celebrations, I think this bundle of dies and stamps is going to be so useful for lots of occasions.

Each tag has been stamped with a little Balmy Blue 'snow' and then the main image element stamped and/or die cut to sit on top. The little snowflakes are stamped in Misty Moonlight on white and embossed in silver on Misty Moonlight and white on Boho Blue.

The dsp is from a wonderful new set of more masculine check patterns called Timeless Plaid, there are 48 sheets of 6x6 papers with 12 double-sided designs.

I added some tiny red die cut stars and a few Rainbow adhesive-backed dots then used a piece of Boho Blue Jute Trim to string the tags together. I thought about adding a 'Merry Christmas' at the bottom of the card but quite like it without, what do you think?
