I chose to keep it super simple, as I usually send out 60 photos or more during the holidays. I know we are all busy with shopping and planning, wrapping and entertaining, so I wanted this to be an easily replicated project.
Here is another example. This is a very inexpensive project, because you can have 4x6 photos printed for about $.10 each, and the stamps of course you can use over and over again.
And on the back of the tag, I stamped some swirls from the set and signed it, "Love, The Flanders".
I'll show you how I made these! First punch circles from white cardstock with a 2" paper punch. Grab an ink blending tool (this is the one I use), dip it in your brown ink pad and swirl the brown ink around the edges of the tag. Using the blending tool will give you a nice soft effect.
The envelopes are stamped too with a saying in Smokey Shadow ink, holly in Ripe Avocado ink and berries in Pure Poppy ink. The top candy cane lines are from the Candy Cane Christmas set that you saw a few days ago on my blog.

I have another quick card to show you. I used a Pink Paislee's 6x6 paper from the Vintage Vogue line and added a small strip of Melissa Frances crepe paper in the center, the fringed kind of crepe paper. Then I hot glued a few tiny ribbon roses inside the crepe paper and stamped a sentiment and swirls on top.
Peace and Joy card:

Nice tag! I like your creative card. I like the flourish and sentiment stamped from the new set. The tissue fringe and roses add interest, as well. TFS your creations. :)

amazing!!! I really want to get a jump start... these sets look worth the investment!!
Love your peace and joy card!!! So pretty!
Love your card idea and the beautiful envy too!
The envelopes definitely look much more festive, and I love the tag and twine added to the card.
WOW! Beautiful!!!! I love your work so much - you are simply amazing! great photo too! I made a "prototype" for my Christmas Cards too. Heavy stamping/paperpiecing (using Lawn Fawn Stamps & Crate Paper). Here's a peek at my 1st sample: http://heathersscrappiness.blogspot.com/2011/09/first-ever-lawnscaping-blog-hop.html
The updated version (except the picture - which will be taken in November) is on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/heathers_scrappiness/6146832669/in/pool-lawnfawn I added my hermit crabs to it ;).
Great tags and cards, but I especially love your twill roses and the wonderful envelope. Very cool. Thanks so much. BeverlyHBL
You and I have totally different styles, but I love checking your blog. So much inspiration here. The little stamping details on the envelope flaps, for example. Love love love!
I love the x-mas card idea, simple but yet has a big impact! Thanks for sharing the tutorial for the tag- I'll have to try that!
Love the holiday photo idea, Danielle! The tags are gorgeous. :)
Looks fantastic and really adds to the photo. And the decoration of the envelopes is so clever
What stamp was used for the red slanted lines on the envelope? I don't see that in the stamp set you referenced.
Thanks.
Andrea Mette
