Each month my good friend and Australian Demonstrator Ann Lewis and I get together for a joint live. We call these lives “Let’s Create Together” because we want to create with you in real time. We supply a measurements list so you can prepare ahead of time, or cut and score the card stock right alongside with us during the demonstration. Ann & I take turns alternating each month with who creates the design so it’s a surprise for us too.
This month, I designed the project. Most month’s are cards, but since the holidays are fast approaching, I thought a Christmas project was in order. You can easily change up the papers and decorations and turn this box of tags into a birthday, thank you or floral theme.
Enjoy watching and creating with us!
Pictures of my Box of Tags and the template & measurements for cutting.
You have the choice to close your box with mini velcro or a belly band, both options are shown in the video.
