Merry Christmas to all of you. I hope you have all had a wonderful time being driven crazy by those you love. It’s time to finish this holiday season and wrap it up with… gift tags! (Get it!?) I had a lot of fun making these and I don’t mind that they didn’t sell spectacularly….

Christmas shaker cards
Using the Recollections Shimmer Noel paper pad and Jillibean Soup small circle shakers I made a bunch of these sparkly, feminine Christmas cards: They all have a glittery silver snowflake die cut to bring in some more sparkle.
