I did my very first swap ~ a tag swap with my design sisters at The Bug Bytes and She's A Sassy Lady! There were 15 of us who participated and this is the tag I created to share. I included all of the tags at the bottom of this post!!!
As a Cricut Circle Member, I got several free CCR Exclusive cuts on my Gypsy in July. This tag is cut from Teresa Collins Christmas Sentiments. I cut it at 6 inches.
I cut the tags out of burgundy cardstock.
The tag base is also from TC Christmas Sentiment sized to 6 inches.
I cut these out of kraft cardstock.
I cut out the stars using paper from Imagine Vintage Papers. I printed a full sheet on my Imagine then cut the stars using my Gypsy and Expression.
I inked all of the pieces with Vintage Photo.
I added these red pearls to the star.
The chevron green paper came from Hobby Lobby and I adhered it behind the cut out 25.
I wrapped up my tags and mailed them to Pam!
Finally, I received this package below:
Pam stamped and colored this beautiful bag that the tags came in!! She also made us each a card with a very nice message inside!!!
Here are the gorgeous tags I received!!!!
I love the purple one - my favorite color!!! The penguin is a wobble - so cute! Look at all of the different designs!
The elf is also a wobble!! I can't believe all of the pretty details!!
Here are the rest!!
This tag even flips open!!
Thanks so much for organizing this swap Pam and Sheila!!! I had a lot of fun and it felt like Christmas when I opened my package!! I think I will display these in my craft room this Christmas :)
