12 Days of Christmas Tags Series; Day Two

Day Two and these are easy ones. Super cute, but easy. I stamped and die cut these simple gingerbread men and women. I also used my Creative Memories circle cutter to cut three different size circles to stack on top of each other.

I swear that I'll use the paper scraps generated from those for another project soon! You gotta hold me to it!

12 Days of Christmas Tags; Day One

It's that time! 12 Days of Christmas Tags Series is starting now. Before I forget, make sure you leave a comment here, my YT channel, Facebook and/or Instagram to earn an entry for the giveaway.  

At the end of the series, one person will get a set of one of each gift tag made this year.

Day One, I am using my Cricut to create a beautiful decorated jingle bell. As noted in my Design Space project, I took the design from another Cricuteer but made some changes.  You can find the file HERE.

These tags have four layers of cardstock and are very thick and sturdy. I added the white circles to the backs so I could stamp To and From. You could skip this if you prefer. 

Watch the YouTube process video for more details.
