Christmas tags

There's a challenge on Papermill Direct's website to create Christmas tags.
I've made a few different ones, here's the first and probably the most simple; I don't always want the tag to compete with the wrapping paper!

Using a Nestabilities die I cut one circle from brown card that I had first embossed with a folder and then one from shimmery white card. I used a scalloped circle die at the top of the white circle to make the 'icing'.
An old Sizzix die cut the holly from glitter card and then a smidge of Glamour Dust to finish.

I've attached a piece of cord at the back and cut a smaller circle of white card to hide this and give a nice writing surface.

Gifts

I've been using stash to wrap some small Christmas gifts. I don't have time to do it for every present and probably most people I give to wouldn't notice if it was hand-crafted or bog-standard wrapping. For my crafty friends though I know they will understand :)
