For my card I cut the patterned paper into strips and then turned them on an angle for added interest. To balance out the sentiment strip, I filled the white space with a rick-rack border by Papertrey Ink.
For my tag, I diecut a heart from kraft cardstock, inked edges and then outlined it with a white gel pen. I cut my houses from patterned paper (but you could easily substitute with diecuts or stamps) and then adhered them along with a diecut heart topped with glossy accents.
After stamping my sentiment, I finished it with a hole punch to the corner, threaded with ribbon and a bakers twine bow. I thought this tag would even make a cute ornament afterwards. I might have to make a few more of these... They would go even faster making several at once. ;)

Mendi- Do you send the cards you make to family and friends or do you hold on to them?

I mail the cards out. In past years I've picked one design to mass produce, but I made many of these cards for specific magazine submissions earlier in the year so now I am mailing out one of a kind Christmas cards. :)
