New Year Banner

Here is a quick and fun project to do. Firstly choose a selection of dies, ribbon and cardstock.....
Do all your cutting out first.....
Make sure that you have contrasting designs and cut out 8 of every die....
Make 4 flags with a front and a back. The back will be quite plain and will have 2011 on.....
On the front will have 2012 and can be decorated to your design.....
.......and a Happy New Year.

Tags with old Christmas Cards

Welcome to my tags with old christmas cards ......some fun after the holidays.  Choose a card you like and add some Kanban cardstock....
Next I chose some ink, a selection of Clarity stamps and Spellbinder dies.........

Oh and a great selection of ribbon...............

Firstly I cut all the tags ans shapes I intend to use....... oh and dont forget the back of your tag....

Stamp and make your back up.  Then stick all of the main tag layers together..........
Arrange your toppers that you cut from your Christmas card and stick down.  Next rummage through all of your lovely ribbon and make a bow for the front...........
Thread your chosen ribbon or tape through the top and embellish with the gold holly we cut earlier
Lovely, what a great tag for a very special persons present or just keep it to use as a decoration.


Bring along your Christmas cards and make a beautiful tag.  Free workshops on Wednesday 4th, Thursday 5th, Friday 6th and Saturday 7th January. 11.00 till 15.00 every day.
