Holly Jolly Ornament Gift Tags

Hi, everyone! I'm back today with more craft-show ornament gift tags, this time featuring the adorable Holly Jolly stamp set from Paper Smooches.



Stampin' Up! crumb cake and cherry cobbler
Paper Smooches holly jolly stamp set
inks: SU mossy meadow and cherry cobbler, Memento bamboo leaves; Stickles
card bases cut using Creative Memories circle cutting system
bows: SU bow and owl builder punches
loops: SU linen thread, attached using WRMK Sew Easy needle
Recollections foam adhesives; Zots glue dot
 
In my attempt to expand my craft-show wares, I'm making a second set of ornament gift tags. For this group of ornaments, I cut out some crumb cake card bases. The crisply stamped sentiment was stamped with my Misti. However, the less-crisply-stamped To/From on the reverse side was not. LOL I then stamped pine branches and holly leaves around the top layer. Embellishments include an SU-punched bow to add a 3-D effect. Since I've had trouble with the middle strip of the SU punch staying glued, I used an SU owl builder circle for the center of each bow. Finally, I added touches of Stickles to the center of the stamped berries.
 
Linking these ornament gift tags up to the following challenges:
12/5/2015 Update - I'm linking these ornament gift tags up to the January Paper Smooches Guest Designer search! Wish me luck... LOL!   :)





Parting Thoughts
 
A quick reminder that our Words 2 Scrap By challenge ends tomorrow and Cards in Envy's current challenge ends tomorrow. Would love for you to play along.  :)
 
Believe it or not, I'm just now having a chance to watch videos from the recent Watercolor Online Card Class. With any luck, I'll have enough success to be posting a watercolor card or two these next couple of days.  :)
 
Have a great week! Thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
