					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is July already and that means we have passed half of the 2016. Also, this is the month when I start making Christmas Projects: cards, tags and gifs <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> I hope this month posts will be inspirations for you to create something specials for Christmas.</p>
<p>Today, I am sharing 3 tags I made with <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8181">Merry, Merry stamp</a> set from Close To My Heart.</p>
<p><a title="Merry, Merry Tags" href="http://wp.me/p1DmW0-2t3"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c7.staticflickr.com/9/8726/28168580366_0926c220cc_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="Merry, Merry Tags" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>I cut out the tags put of White Carstock and stamped the wreath with MISTI. This is great tool for mass produce cards and tags. For the wreath I use <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8704&amp;ci=6173">Fern Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad</a>.</p>
<p>For the banner, sentiment and bird, I stamped them with <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=6846&amp;ci=6093">Ruby Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad</a>. Them for the pinecorns I stamped it with <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=725&amp;ci=6078">Chocolate Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad</a>. I fussy cut the banner and bird with <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7190">Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors</a>. This is the best scissors I have for fussy cutting images, even intricate ones. Love them so much!</p>
<p>I punched a 0.25&#8243; hole on each of the tag for the <a href="http://helengullett.ctmh.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8599">Fern Extra Thick Twine</a>. And I finished them with some Clear Gems assortment for some extra shine and sparkle <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
