I created the base for this tag with the Coved Rectangle Stitch and Cut die using the middle size to cut 1 from 110lb cardstock and 1 from red cardstock. I adhered these together to make a sturdy layer to add the rest of the sections.
Using the next size down in the set of Coved Rectangles I cut a layer from red checked paper and attached it with spacers between.
To add texture and detail I tucked in a section of Gauze Border that I snipped to fit and dovetailed. It's held on with glue and a funky giant paper clip.
Christmas flowers are the funnest to make and these were a (slightly messy) blast. I created the Poinsettia with matching red cardstock and accented the tips with Sugar Glitter Paste before assembling. The center is pieces clipped from a berry pick and given a light coat of alcohol ink to color it to coordinate. The white flower is the Gardenia cut with crisp white. Every flower arrangement needs leaves so why not use Holly shaped leaves with a little inking on the edge and Stickles to make it extra festive?
A few last details like this Tiny Kaleidoscope Doily , chipboard sentiment and pearly accents are perfect for this tag and finished off with some snappy red and white stitched ribbon.
