Christmas Mice Tags


With Christmas fast approaching, I always like to keep tags on hand for adding to gift bags. I'll purchase just plain bags and then decorate them. I made these tags using ScrappyDew's Christmas Mice. They are so cute!

After cutting all pieces, I added flocking to ears, nose, tummy and trim on hat and tassel. You really can't see it in the photo. I also made some berries for the wreath by welding 3 circles together in Make the Cut and adding flock to those also. 

I embossed the tags, wreath and gift box. Applied some Glossy Accents to the lights. I used Scotch Foam Mounting Tape to pop the mice. Inked the tags in gold and the mice in black. 

Supplies Used: 
Inkssentials Glossy Accents - on Lights
Flocking - Pink, White, Burgundy
ElmersCraft Bond Glue Pen  for Flocking
CardStock- Red, Burgundy, Green, Grey, Black, Blue, White
Scotch Mounting Tape
Ink- Gold, Black
Yarn for Tie
CuttleBug Embossing Folder - Paper Lace II 
Pink Chalk - Cheeks

Thanks for looking,

Lantern - SleddingSnowmen


Today for my project I'm going to show you a winter themed lantern I created.  I used ScrappyDew's Sledding Snowmen  (scroll down to view all the patterns) cutting files to decorate my lantern.
Lantern pattern by Sandra's Scrapsels, converted to cut with MTC.
This is the first side, as you can see he is winding up for a snowball fight.


This is the second side and this guy is in a race to avoid them! LOL Some additional photos.


You can see just how small I cut these snowmen and they still cut great on the Expression. I love Rob's files because they are arranged in layers according to color and also 1 layer has the file completely put together. Which is very useful if you like to do Print n Cut's. Just open the file, size and print. How easy is that!


some added greenery


Side view, you really can't see from the photo but there are many layers to this lantern. You have the side of the lantern, then a vellum layer sandwiched in between the face of the lantern, a top decorator piece and then the icicle layers.
