Elizabeth Craft Designs October Monthly Challenge - Use Tags

It's that time again for Elizabeth Craft Designs Monthly Challenge. This month's challenge is to make a project or card using the newest tag dies. For this challenge I immediately thought of this card to showcase the tags. You can find the complete instructions here on Splitcoaststampers.

Instructions:
1. Create card base from gold snowflake paper. Cut it down to 8.5"x 11". Follow instructions as per Splitcoaststampers on how to fold card.
2. Cut white paper 4"x 5 1/4" and cut it on an angle as shown. Cut Ornament paper 3 3/4"x 4 3.4" again cut it on an angle. Adhere both papers using Double-sided Adhesive.

3. Cut out tags using Tag 1 (3"x 5") and Tag 2 (3"x 4") dies using gold metallic paper. Apply Ornament paper to gold tag an cut it out again using Tag 1 die. Cut out reinforcements that come with Tag 1 and Tag 3 using gold metallic paper. Apply gold Ornament Peel-Off along with Gold Holly Peel-Offs as shown. Cut out bow using bow from Ornament Set 3 using Red Adhesive Velvet Sheet. Add Red Glitter dots as shown.
4. On Tag 2 cut out white paper 2 3/4"x 3 1/2" and place in Pinecones Embossing folder and emboss. Apply Frayed Burlap Distress Ink over the embossed area.
5. Cut a piece of vellum 2 1/2"x 3 1/4" and adhere it over the embossed paper using Double-sided Adhesive. Add Black Merry Christmas Peel-Off along with gold Holly Peel-Offs as shown. Adhere Red Glitter dots for berries as shown. Add ribbon to finish off tags.

6. Front of the card cut out 2 pine branches from the Candle die using white Velvet Adhesive sheet. Add red Glitter dot Peel-Offs as shown. Place 2 Gold Ornament Peel-Off onto white cardstock with double sided adhesive on top. Cover Peel-offs with Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter and polish glitter with your finger. Use a brush to brush off the excess glitter. Follow Els’ step by step instructions for this technique HERE. Colour it using Copic Markers using the following colors. Use 1 ornament for the front and 1 for the inside of the card.

7. For the inside cut white paper 4"x 51/4" and adhere to base. Cut out gold stripe vellum 3 3/4"x 5". Cut out tag 2 using the Decorative Overlay using gold ornament paper. Cut out 2 pine branches from the Candle die using white Velvet Adhesive sheet. Add red Glitter dot Peel-Offs as shown. Add gold ornament as shown.
