Christmas Wishes hostess card features a gift tag in a pocket

 

This quick card uses the Santa image from the Holiday Catalog hostess set Christmas Wishes. I made a tag using Real Red and Old Olive ink pads, a circle punch and some taffeta ribbon and linen thread. This was one of the designs at Ginette's 10-card class Tuesday. I posted the first one yesterday.

The card has a 4-1/4" x 2" piece of Polka Dot Parade dsp layered on a scallop trim border punched strip of Real Red card stock. The adhesive is only on the sides and bottom of the patterned piece of paper.
