Time to be Merry!

Happy December, friends!  Can you believe this year is nearly over!?! Whoosh!  Time seems to speed by even faster the older I get!  I am doing my best to savor every single day of this wondrous season!

I'm here today with a fun project, another alternative to a card and another $ pocket!  This one is made using the largest of the Tim Holtz tags collection.  It's my first time using Craft Consortium's Scorched Wood designer paper and I am already in love!    

I cut one tag from a folded piece of card stock so that the piece opens like a book, then cut a circle window in the front of it.  Then I cut another single layer tag to fit inside the first.  Embellished with designer papers and stamps, then tied together at the top with Christmasy ribbon, the inside tag swings out and reveals a little money pocket that was hidden inside.    

Here's a close-up of the front...the layered die-cut greenery from the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens Mini set work so well with our Seasonal Wreaths bundle!  I cut the greenery from white card stock, colored it with Copic markers, then generously splashed and splattered it with diluted white acrylic paint "snow."  I just love the way it turned out!
