Joy Tag

This tag took me a few days, in small bits of time to put together, since I now have a broken leg. My craft room is a bit of a disaster, so it’s hard to maneuver with a knee scooter, but I’ve had this tag on my mind for a week or so, so I wanted to attempt my idea. The pine leaf sprigs and the word joy were cut from a Carta Bella die set called Joyful Pine. I cut the word joy out from both plain red card stock and from some DCWV red glitter card stock. I adhered the glitter die cut over the other die cut to give the word some depth. I had run a piece of Neenah Desert Storm Card stock through my Gemini Junior using an embossing folder (Woven) and then used MFT Jumbo Fishtail Banner Stax to cut a tag from the embossed panel. I also cut a tag from white card stock, using the next smaller banner die so that I could adhere it to the back, to write on as well as reinforcement. I cut the pine cones using Spellbinders Fall Foliage Shapabilities die set. I used a Copic marker to add shadows on the pine cones. I added some Cranberry Trendy Twine and some gems from my stash.
