It was easy (but somewhat tedious) to cut the parts from red card stock, clear acetate, foam sheet, stamped and Copic colored card stock, and printed card stock. Then it was simple to use Fabri-Tac glue or Martha Stewart glue pen to adhere the parts together. Don't forget to add the Martha Stewart mica flakes!
Red and white twine (purchased at HM BFC) was added between the last two layers to form the ties and also around the edges to give the tags a clean finish. Mini leaf garlands and red pips (from HM BFC) were glued in place.By clipping off the corners of a mini Vippies calendar, it will fit on the back of the tag. I think I might tie some of these tags to simple cards so that the recipients can take them off the card and use them as tree ornaments. During the holidays, I like to give tiny gifts to those who I think of during the year. Sadly, because of the pandemic, I will probably not see most of them during this holiday season. I hope you take the time to do a little mailable crafting and give someone jolly holly happy mail! Holiday Hugs!
This is a cute and clever way to gift a calendar! Oooh, die cutting all those tiny pieces and coloring, and making each shaker snow globe sounds like it was a labor of love... but definitely worth the effort; they turned out really CUTE!
