Yes, it's a Christmas card for you today, and made using the super cute Disney Tinker Bell dies and paper. There have been a ton of Disney papercraft collections released over the last year or so, and I just could not resist getting a few bits from the Tinkerbell collection!
The Tinker Bell image was die cut from the Colourful Creations pad, which was teamed up with the sentiment in the same die set cut in red and green and layered up onto some backing paper. As I stuck the sentiment and character image down flat on the card, I thought it was a little lost on that busy paper so I used a pale grey Graph'It marker to give an outline and make them stand out a bit.
Materials Used:
Disney / Create & Craft - Tinker Bell Season of Sparkle die set, Colourful Creations paper pad, Backing paper pad
Hunkydory - white A6 card blank, 3mm gemstones
Stampin' Up! - Real Red card, Lemon Lime Twist card
Graph'It - marker 9501
Goodness - where have the last couple of weeks gone?! I've had a busy couple of weeks at work and home, but I have managed to squeeze in a little bit of crafting!
So, the card I am sharing with you today is for the men in your life (or anyone that likes drinking beer). It is based on a couple of cards I saw on Facebook (sorry I did not make a note of the designers), and this is my take on it.

Designer Series Paper - Urban Underground (retired), Neutrals (retired)

I
have some fun Santa Suit gift tags to share with you today - I seem to
have a bit of a thing for making tags at the moment - they are quick to
make and fun too! I made these for the craft fair that I did recently,
and even though it was in July I did sell a few of these Christmas tags
all packaged up! You can also find them in my Etsy Shop.
I
have used the retired Tag Topper punch for these tags, but you could
also use the Scalloped Tag Topper punch in the current annual catalogue
if you don't have this one.
Each
tag was cut to 4.9cm x 8.3cm, and I added the white strips before using
the tag punch - that way you get the hole in both layers. I cut out
the buckle from silver foil card using by Brother Scan n Cut - I created
the shape in Canvas using a square and two rectangles - then threaded a
strip of black card through each buckle before adding to the tag. The
buttons were stamped using an image from the Sweet Home stamp set.
Stampin' Up! materials used:
Stamp sets - Sweet Home, Forever Evergreen (for the packaging)
Card - Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver foil
Ink - Basic Black, Real Red
Punch - Angled Tag Topper
