Santa Sleigh Christmas Tag

Created this Clean & Simple CAS Christmas Tag by simply printing the BugABoo digi, Santa Sleigh Tag, fussy cutting it out with scissors, embossing for snowy effect, die cutting a Tim Holtz tag for background snowflake look, embossing the background tag with snowflake embossing folder, punching a hole in smaller tag & adding a scrap piece of white yarn. No sparkle was added since it is for a Black & White challenge and I wanted to keep it CAS. It can be used for male or female and young or old.

Supplies List 


digi: BugABoo Santa Sleigh Tag
embossing: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots, the Paper Studio Snowflakes
machine: Sizzix
paper: cardstock -  white
