Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, Thi, and the DT have made :-)

I used a Cross Stitch Stitch Tag Die and Lip Balm Window and Frame Die and Lip Balm Shaker Pouches

Cross Stitch used to be a hobby of mine so it was lovely to pick up a needle and Embroidery Floss again and make these tags!! I have to say, I love them and will definitely be making more of these!

I used the partial die cut technique, ie, hang the lower edge of the die over the edges of the cutting plates and then moved it down a bit to elongate the tags.

I actually bought several lip balms, there are 10 pouches in the pack so I fully intented to use them all. However, I now know that not all lip balms fit into these pouches! I have a bag full of Nivea to prove it ;-) My advice would be to take a pouch with you to the store and check to see if they will fit, these are Blisteeze and they are a perfect fit. To make them look a little more festive I wrapped them in scraps of Christmas paper ;-)

I am going to make up 'Pamper Hampers' with lotions and potions and used these to decorate the baskets for my family and friends, I am so excited!!! I am sure they will love them!!

So now it's YOUR turn to get out your crafty supplies and join in!!
