Free As A Bird - Christmas in July quick & simple

Here are the details for our first Christmas in July project using an image from a stamp set called Free As A Bird.

You might have missed these little Kraft Pillow Boxes in the Annual Catalogue (page 172).  Which would be a shame because these little die cut boxes are perfect for many occasions and all sorts of gifts and goodies.  Even better, they take just seconds to assemble.

To make the tag you need a piece of Whisper White (thick) card that measures 9.5 x 5.1 cm.

Create the tag top with the new Deligthful Tag Topper Punch and round the bottom corners with a corner rounder.  This punch is going to get lots of use in the run up to Christmas - I might even be organised this year (maybe)!

Stamp the single bird image onto thick Whisper White card with Memento ink.  Colour with Stampin' Blends and fussy cut.

I used a sentiment from a stamp set called Delightful Day and adhered the robin with Dimensionals.

I used the Sprig Punch with some Garden Green and Old Olive card to give the robin something to 'stand on' adding some pearls for extra decoration.

Happy crafting!
