Graphic 45 make some wonderful paper packs and 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' is no exception. Beautiful double-sided papers to make loads of Christmas greeting goodies. I have made a start with a selection of Christmas cards but as I come to the end of the stash, I have used up the smaller off-cuts to make some really sweet Christmas Tags.
After covering some regular 6" x 3" manilla tags with Graphic 45 stock, I used memory box Foral Square die cut and then painted using PaperArtsy old gold metallic acrylic paint. This gives such good, even coverage (and dries pretty quick too!)
I gave the edges of the covered tag a quick brush over using vintage photo distress ink, added two of the die cut floral squares and then added a few Mark Richards red metallic studs - some small and some a little bigger.
I stamped some JOFY holly leaves onto some of the Graphic 45 paper, cut them out and added a small red bead to each them. Finished off the tags with red ribbons.
A quick way to use up some of the 'bits left over' and back to Birds in the Barn for more goodie supplies.
Merry Christmas xx
