SANTA STOP HERE! and take a peek at this tag


Welcome to my blog and I am sharing how I made the SANTA STOP HERE tag pictured below.

Products you will need

A shipping tag or chipboard tag
white acrylic paint
red ribbon
trim from Hobby Lobby (in Christmas wrapping area)
Lace trim
Gecko Galz O Christmas saying stamps & St. Nicholas collage set
Festive Berries ink by Ranger Distress Ink
Jingle bells
Scotch fast drying liquid glue
red line tape
small crafting clamp






print out "santa stop here" digi stamp and Santa image sized to fit tag center, ink stamp in red and cut around all images.
Paint your tag in a shabby chic style (leaving some of the natural color to peek through) and let dry. take santa image and stamp and dry brush white paint to look distressed.
layer at bottom of tag your lace trims using your red line tape then brush with white paint and let dry.
adhere the Santa image to center of tag and using festibe bead trim create a wreath around him, it is easiest to do a small section at a time using your crafting clamp to hold it in place as it dries.
Now take more of the trim and tie around top of tag them brush all trim with white paint in a shaby chic manner.
take your ink distress tool and brush lace with red ink (not allot) then layer on your sentiment using a pop ot to raise up "Santa".
To finish tie ribbon and trim through hole and add jingle bells to end of trim and brush with white paint. On back of tag stamp "to" and "From" and now you are ready to use!
