I bought some nice wrapping paper recently, whilst in IKEA, to wrap a specific Christmas gift ..... now thinking it looks a little "ordinary" for Christmas so decided to bling it up with a posh tag using the set above .....

| wrapping paper |
 |
| My tag |
- 2" strip of white card cut to tag size and the corners taken off with a Fiskars corner punch (not used in an absolute AGE)
- 1.75" strip of white card coloured using a blue alcohol marker and stamped with Recollections sentiment in Ranger Archival jet black ink, an Inkadinkado snowflake repeat stamped using watering can ink
- Black card for matting
- Snippet of white card on to which I stamped my MFT Santa using Memento tuxedo black ink before colouring with alcohol markers, blinging up with diamond stickles and applying Mod Podge dimensional gloss over the fur and beard areas. Once dry I fussy cut this image and attached to my tag
- Crop-a-dile (ALSO not used in an absolute AGE) used to punch a hole and set an eyelet (3/8")
I'll be entering this tag over at Go Tag Thursday, challenge No. 20 - YOUR FAVOURITE THEME ... my fave theme is CHRISTMAS and Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas challenge, No. 305 - ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES

You've had great fun with your Santa Stamp! Terrific bright fun cards and tags love them. XOXO
Really love that new image kathy, fab card
Your Santa is fantastic Kathy and he certainly does look like he's saying "Woo hoo". Love seeing jolly Santa images at Christmas. Such a great idea to use the image on a tag too as it really brightens up the present. I must say that the North Pole ribbon on the card is particularly lush. Thanks so much for joining in our 300th celebration at Less is More xx
I love the cute Santa on your fabulous tag.
