A great gift to make up that can be left out year round! I took this photo out back on my little spruce tree and then I thought if I cut the wood down into smaller squares, oh what cute ornaments this would make???!!!
Glittery sparkler!
Happy Crafting!
I had so much fun with the rockstar tags I posted the week before, that I just had to make some rockin' cards! The photo does not pick up the details all that well, but I did the same design as the tags, but on kraft cs with shimmer pink ink. There wasn't much room to add a sentiment so I came up with the idea of just ripping and distressing a small piece of kraft cs...makes it a little rugged! Lastly, I did a little sewing and added the polka dot ribbon....LOVE IT!
For the guys! No fancy embellishments or sewing, just added some brads. 
All tags were made with a set from CTMH that is on loan. I kept the same design for the boys and girls, just switched up the colors. I like the idea of splitting the tag in half on the design...polka dots on one, and ink splats on the other. The sentiments are from Enjoy the Ride.
Since I can't tie pretty bows on the boy tags, I opted for kraft natural ribbon and knots. For the thinner threads, I used kraft threads from The Cat's Pj's. This thread is super nice and even as much as I tugged on it to tie, it never split! The sentiments came with this set.
I will be making more tags, this is a good start to my stash for an upcoming craft show. Have fun with these tags...if you make some, link it here and we will share with everyone ;) Happy Crafting!
I stamped all the trees directly on to patterned paper. This tree is fairly large, as you can see, so keeping the layers to a minimum is best.
A little doodling, jumbo eyelets and sentiment from papertrey ink. I've had this vintage lace from a trip eons ago to the fabric store. The lace is not super fluffy and lays flat...perfect for cards!
These little birds crack me up! Catch my boo-boo?? I put a baby bird in the tree that is not resting his little feet on a branch...catchin' air! I didn't realize it until later...eh, I will consider him "special".
Manly option! I punched a bunch of hearts out with my small su! heart punch and adhered them with foam tape. The natural twine I wrapped around the bottom is from Cat's Pajamas. This is my first time to try twine and I must say I LOVE IT! The twine is super flexible, won't rip, and it's not bulky. I just enabled you, didn't I?
