Created this New Year Pocket Watch Tag using a Sizzix Original die, Pocket. Used Denim scrapbook paper for the pocket. The Pocket die has a faux stitching as part of the die. Used Kraft americana dark blue cardstock as base of tag cut with scissors. Red tape used to seal up around the edges of the Pocket except for top where the pocket watch is placed hanging from inside of the pocket. Added eyelets to Pocket Tag using Crop-A-Dile. Stamped a Basic Grey New Year stamp. Distressed the edges with TH Paper Distresser.
Used Cricut George and Basic Shapes cartridge for 2 1/2" circle of Kraft cardstock that I stamped the Tim Holtz pocket watch on. Used gold link rings attached to the pocket watch and have it hang from inside of pocket.
