Back with one final bonus Christmas in July themed project … I decided to join in with the UK stampers forum swap and made mine Christmas in July themed using some more of that fabric paper that I used on the final cards of the month and also another vintage Santa stamped image.
What I discovered was that the fabric papers are already adhesive backed and I hadn’t realised! So once cut I could just peel them back and add them to the tag!
I coated the full hardboard tag with the striped stitch pattern then added smaller bits of the others to create some interest.
I then stamped and watercoloured Santa and die cut him out. I chose two die cut light strings from the stash to go behind him and then glued it all down.
I then realised I hadn’t used buttons in my crafting for sometime so chose six buttons to add to the tag in colours that coordinated with the tag.
I also chose two sentiments which were already stamped and die cut ready for using!
I then went through ribbons to choose ones that would work and added them to the top hole.
A fun project and hopefully the recipient won’t mind this oddly out of season tag! At least it will mean they have some decor ready ahead of time!
Ok really finished with Christmas in July now- there will be a video sharing all the makes coming to my YouTube in the next few days but for now – thank you and goodbye to Christmas in July … oh hang on tomorrow is Festive Friday … perhaps I won’t tidy away the Christmas supplies just yet! 🤣
Happy crafting!

That’s brilliant! I’m sure got some of that paper in my stash too!!
I can’t even think how long I’ve had it for – so good to get a chunk of it used up!
