Framed Snowmen Tags
Hello there! Shellye along with a set of "FRAMED SNOWMEN" tags that can also double as ornaments after the gift-giving is done!
[1]To start, I grabbed a few of the "Claus & Co." Chipboard Frames [2]. For each snowman, you'll need a large and small square, as well as a round chipboard shape for the head.
[3] Next, I backed each of the frames with a matching-sized square of patterned paper from the 6X6 Paper Pad [4].
[5]The heads were covered in an off-white pattern from a section of the "Ho Ho Ho" paper [6]. For the noses I used smaller sized hearts from the "Wood Veneer" [7] pack and inked them with a burnt orange chalk ink.

[9] The cheeks were given some blush with pink chalk and black enamel dots were used for the eyes.
To adhere the small and large frame together, simply use a scrap piece of heavyweight cardstock or chipboard piece. Make a bridge at the back with the material by gluing one end to the large frame and the other half to the smaller frame.

[12]Now for the fun part...embellishing! I added different Wood Veneer pieces (that I inked with various chalk inks) and then accented the centers with Bradz [13]. The smaller alphabet stickers from the "Expressions Cardstock Stickers" [14] were used to personalize with the snowmen.
[15]To give a nice, finished look (as well as make into a gift tag), I traced the entire snowman onto a piece of cardstock and then trimmed out and glued to the back. Use stickers or fancy hand-writing to add your To and From :)
[16]With a small hole punched at the top, tie some string or twine through and your tag-ornament is framed and ready to go!
I hope that you enjoyed this fun Christmas craft and will give it a try!
