Christmas Tags 2010

I decided to make Christmas tags this year and make them so that they can hopefully be used over and over again. To help make these, I bought a Scotch Thermal Laminator from Walmart. I paid less than $30 for it and it is awesome! Best piece of office equipment I have bought in a long time. I also used my Corner Chomper on the white cardstock, but used small scissors after laminating. I also used the following materials:

Basic White Cardstock

Archival Inks Jet Black

Hampton Arts Stamp Sweet Home Tag

Le Plume II Marvy Marker – Yellow

Le Plume II Marvy Marker – Brown

Le Plume II Marvy Marker – Leaf Green
