Happy waltz day, friends!! Today is the 17th and that means a wonderful tour of the friends of Waltzingmouse and tons of crafty inspiration! If you're new to our waltzes, head over to our forum to learn how you can participate next month. You'll also find links to all of the participants today!
Today I have two projects inspired by my new Santa's Coming to Town set which just screams vintage Christmas to me! For these gift tags, I cut two sizes of labels, outlined the red one with a glue pen and added chunky glitter and for the smaller one, I stamped the Santa image and sentiment along with some snowflakes from Compliments of the Season stamped in silver ink. I finished the tags with some red puff balls for the tip of Santa's hat.
To carry on with my vintage theme, I used the same label combo (a coordinating card is the perfect way to use a tag you make a mistake on the back of, lol!) to make a label for the front of the card and used a die cut and some paper from my new Jingle Bells Collection from Pretty Little Studio. Have I mentioned I love vintage? Mid-century to be precise, and WMS and PLS really get it! Love!!
Have fun waltzing along - I'm off for coffee and will join you on the dance floor shortly! :)
