Just sharing a few Christmas-y, sparkly, festive-ish things with you today. I created an assortment of tags made on bases like recipe cards, envelopes, and chipboard, and added in all sorts of things I love to top them off.
I pulled out my favorite Melissa Frances cardstock stickers and chipboard, tea-stained fabric, and envelopes.
The base for this tag is a Melissa Frances chipboard snowflake painted and then covered in glitter with a doily and cardstock sticker as the background. Melissa Frances pom pom trim was used around the outside edges.
This tag was made on an old recipe card and uses a Melissa Frances cardstock sticker and resin applique, and Papertrey Ink stamp sets including Holly Jolly and 2008 Holiday Tags.
Another tea-stained recipe card and some old chipboard letters I found hiding in my stash...they are by Rusty Pickle....how I loved Rusty Pickle.
This tag was built on another recipe card and uses Melissa Frances paper and flashcard, Tim Holtz metal bookplate that has been painted and covered in glitter.
Lastly, this tag was made on an envelope and is covered in Melissa Frances paper, a Tim Holtz ticket stub, vintage bottle cap, and some trimmings.
The scrunched seam binding is all from My Craft Spot and the twill tape was stained here at home.
Thanks for visiting!
Melis
**Edited to add that the Christmas Countdown Chalkboard kit is now available HERE at Frost it Pink!**

*Gasp!* Melissa, these are exquisite!!! Each and every one is a treasure. I love how you combine all of my favorite things in such beautiful ways. Thanks so much for sharing these - you have definitely inspired me to get crafting some tags (and to look for some unconventional bases to build them on!). Have a wonderful, Christmasy weekend!
