Christmas Tag

I LOVE thinking of ways to make my own embellishments using my stash. For this Christmas tag I made the embellishment using metal stamps and a bottle cap. First I ran the bottle cap through my cuttle bug to flatten it out. Then I stamped the word "Jolly" using a brick, hammer and the metal stamps. 

  I think using the brick makes it easier to stamp a clear image. After I stamped the letter I took white craft paint and dabbed it over the letters. I used a paper towel to wipe the excess paint off. Lastly I put a Tim Holtz star below the words, punched a hole in the top and tied it with bakers twine. I got the Santa image from the Silhouette store, the tickets were from my stash and I punched out the white boarder. I used Tim Holtz mini attacher to staple the ribbon on the top and lastly I inked the edges of the tag. I love how it turned out, and it's my favorite vintage style ta boot!

Happy Creating,
