For embellishments I used Darice snowflake stickers and American Crafts peppermint ribbon. Because I used paper that was too porous, the markers bled through the back of the tag so I covered it with another scalloped square of paper that I embossed with the Sizzix snowflake embossing folder that comes in a set with a few other images.
The back of the tag now looks prettier and more interesting but was a little lumpy to write on so I added a Martha Stewart label (120 in the box!) I bought from BFC. I am very happy with how this tag turned out, but I might layer two pieces of adhesive foam next time to make more room for the beads to shake around in or use a thicker foam piece. I hope that you'll take the time to make a pretty tag for those special gifts. I often use a fancy tag in place of a bow (especially for mailed gifts) and suggest that the recipient recycle the tag by using it on a card next year. Thanks for reading this rather long-story post. I'll be back soon with another Christmas idea. Holiday Hugs!

Great idea using those mylar like beads...The snowman in the blog is cute too....
Cute idea, Lynn! I always love snowglobe cards!
Love the idea, Lynn. Whoever receives your beautiful tag will very likely turn it into an ornament for their tree!
Where did you get the snowglobe stamp from Lynn? I want to get one. Your tag turned out really nice. So funny cause I didn't know that snowman was a Hero stamp!
