Made this card with a whimsical twist on the Starbucks Red Cup. Used Cricut for Santa SVG. When I went looking for an SVG of Santa Stuck In the Chimney there were $0.99 ones, $1.99 ones, on up but came across this one for free from Cut That Design. The stencil & Distress Ink was a great combo.

Changed from Mozilla FireFox browser to Google Chrome. Mozilla was no longer allowing printing of emails (would print part of page 1 but not any other pages successfully). Imported my bookmarks from Mozilla to Google Chrome. Getting use to the looks & way things work in Google Chrome. Anyone else using Google Chrome?
Made these Tags and gave them to the morning Baristas at the StarBucks. Had asked one of the Baristas if StarBucks was going to have the scented cup car freshners like they gave out in the drive thru last year and was told no so I decided to make these and they can hang on Christmas tree or from their car visor if they like.
Had some wonderful help on how to use the Slice function on the Cricut to cut the lid off the image so I could make a white layer to stamp sentiment on and pop up.
Used mostly CTMH items which include Artisty cartridge and All Buttoned Up die.
Supplies
cardstock/paper: gold foil
CTMH: cardstock/paper - black, red, white
Cricut cartridge - Artistry Mug #M40FC2A 5"
die - All Buttoned Up stamp - Warmest Wishes sentiment
ink: VersaFine Onyx Black
twine: red/white
