Christmas Joy Card!

It's the holiday season and I have a "Christmas Joy" tag card just for YOU!

Card sharon

First I started with a tag. Tags are so fun to make, but I run out of ideas of what to do with them...so I added it to a card base!

Then I grabbed a few of my favorite things: doilies, punches, a date stamp, Ranger tissue tape, twine, and LOADS of Prima!

You know I save all my scraps. Do any of you do that? Well, I picked out all of the ones that fit this color scheme and used them here and there on the tag.

Remember the "Got Flowers" jars filled to the brim with gorgeous blooms? I found a bottle, pulled some out, and added crystal centers to them. I also punched stars out of the bottom of the tag to let the red-striped Prima paper peek out.

A velvet trinket and a touch of twine add the perfect finishing touches.

Top off your tag with a white bow and adhere it to a card base (I just used coordinating paper for the base.)

Next send your amazing card to your FAVORITE person in the whole wide world! They will love you forever!

Merry Christmas to each of you! ~Sharon

This week we will look at creative ways to use doilies, Comfort Craft Chalk Inks & Prima packaging to create this wonderfully inexpensive Christmas Ornament that can be customized to match your home.

As a bonus my daughter used the tips in all 3 videos to create her own ornament! (I think hers is super cute!)

Brittany created a washi tape hanger, sandwiched a doily (colored with chalk ink) and lace in between her papers, AND added a punched photo (instead of patterned paper) to make a one-of-a-kind ornament!
