This Christmas Tags & More Ornaments Card is easy to make with the versatile pack of 6″ x 6″ designer series paper called Christmas Tags & More! Besides the pretty holiday designs and tags in the paper, there are some sheets of diecut ephemera images you can use any way you like on cards or scrapbook pages and other projects for the holidays.

This card starts with a card base of Real Red cardstock, although you could use another color that matches the ornaments. There is a layer of Basic White cardstock for the background because I felt like I wanted the card to be very simple.

For the string holding the ornaments, I used a recently retired green baker’s twine. You could use whatever you have. A gold trim would be pretty, too. The ends are adhered under the sides of the white cardstock. Make it fairly tight going across but you want a little dip in the string. I chose three ornaments from the ephemera pages in the designer series paper, plus two pieces of mistletoe. To adhere the ornaments I put a Stampin’ Dimensional on the back of each one at the center to bottom and then a Mini Glue Dot to adhere to the string. The mistletoe is adhered flat on the card. Then I tied three small bows to adhere with a Mini Glue Dot to the top of each ornament.

Before I added the greeting, I had to play around with papers and layers trying to find the right thing for the bottom of the card. All of a sudden, the right combination came about! I added a strip of the red and green plaid pattern with a layer of Real Red under the greeting to highlight the gold foil wording. But I didn’t want it covering up very much of the plaid design.

The greeting is found in the Greetings For You Ephemera Pack. I have loved this pack with all kinds of gold foil greetings for the holidays that are ready to go and even are backed with adhesive. Just peel off the backing and adhere to the paper. Or if you’d rather use some other adhesive or pop up the greeting with Dimensionals, just leave on the backing paper and do it your way.

For just a tiny bit of embellishment, I added two gold Traditional Sparkling Sequins at each end of the greeting. I think they highlight the greeting a little bit and even a little on a card is nice!

Just get out all the papers and the diecut images and play around with all the possibilities!
