Hallmark makes some beautiful Christmas cards and I had a couple cards left from a year or so ago and decided to use the image on it to make another Christmas tag.
The finished tag is about 4 x 6 inches and I made it by cutting a 4" wide strip off 12 inch cardstock, folded it in half, cut the angle at the top and punched the hole at the top and then curved the bottom corners using a punch (I had to use the punch before I glued the front and back down, so my punch would cut the thickness). I used DecoArt's Metallic Lustre in Gold Rush to "ink" the edges. The cardstock was from my stash and I don't remember who made it. I used my Crop-a-dile from We Are Memory Keepers to punch the holes. And to make the circle hole reinforcer, I punched a hole in the gold glitter paper with the Crop-a-dile, then lined my 1/2 EK Success hole punch over it to punch a little circle with a hole in the center. I used the Zip Dry paper glue to add it to the tags.
Using the same process, I made a little 2 x 3 inch tag to use for the To/From. Usually, I would use a piece of double sided tape and add some cardstock to write the To/From's on, but this cardstock has this lovely raised gold design that would make it impossible to write on smoothly, so that will have to be added later.
