Fold-Up Christmas Tags

Inspiration: Little Red Wagon #473 (No Cards Allowed)

I was eager to try out the new Fold-Up Tags Die-namics from MFT. I liked the size and the idea of having a fold to hide a message inside. I pulled out some paper scraps (Merry & Bright from Carta Collection, a 6" x 6" pad I've had and used for years and that still have quite a bit of paper left in) and tested the dies out.

The next day, I started looking for images that could be added to them. I spotted an older Stampin' Up! set called Color Me Christmas and decided the bold images would look great on tags AND be fun to color with my newly-acquired Polychromos pencil set.

I stamped To: and From: inside the tag using the Signs of Santa stamp set, and I added some gems (including some clear gems over the ornaments in the Christmas tree), twine, ribbon and a mini jingle bell. I also put some highlights on my colored images using some Copic Opaque White paint.
