Make it Monday, #34

This week's Make-it-Monday challenge over at Papertrey Ink is to create a project by making your own thick chipboard accents. I was super excited about this one since I had to actually start recycling my cereal boxes because my storage for them is maxed out. I went to work right away. The first thing that came to mind was to create some Christmas gift tags. Thank you PTI for helping me get a jump start on my Christmas crafting!

I love the little snowflake dies from Peace Be Still by Heather Nichols. I ran one of them through my Cuttlebug with the cereal box and adhered 5 layers together using Glossy accents. I then stamped the image onto white cardstock in Versamark and heat embossed it with Stampendous Tinsel Embossing Powder in Red. I love the glittery-ness of the powder! Then I attached it to my stacked die cut image. I die cut Pure Poppy with Limitless layers and heat embossed the wreath image from 2008 Holiday Tags Collection in the same red powder. It is a little difficult to see the image, but  I just wanted to have more of the embossing powder on my tag. I attached this to my Fillable Frames #1 image with foam adhesive and then I heat emossed again. I stamped my sentiment from the 2008 Holiday Tag Collection in True Black ink and flanked it with the smallest snowflake from Peace Be Still in Pure Poppy onto my Double ended banners die cut. This was all attached to my Tag Sale #3 die cut with Stamper's Select White cardstock. I tied some Pure Poppy Satin dots ribbon on top. Now to get ahead on Christmas shopping (wink).

Here is the side view of the tag and thick chipboard. I love it!
