Last year, we (SBC) did the one sheet wonder cards and were able to make 12 Christmas cards using various techniques. You can find the You Tube videos for those on our channel HERE.
But first who doesn't like blog candy?! We will be giving away one November Card Kit to one lucky follower. All you have to do is be a SBC follower and leave a comment below. At the end of the hop, we will add up all the comments and randomly choose 1 winner. Here is our November Mini Card Kit...
You can find more information about our monthly card kits HERE.

Now for the crafty fun!
This year, we are going to feature Christmas tags so for SBC this is the 12 Days of Tags. Each day, we will showcase a tag or more using fun and easy techniques that we promise look good on any Christmas Package.
Today we are making a tag with: a decorative top
I don't know about you but for me, it was hard to come up with something cute for the top of the tag other than just a straight edge. I have two go-to techniques to show you.
First is using a corner punch with a little trimming, just like below.
The second is using a rounded corner punch or even the envelope punch board like this one. I even made the cute bow using the board.
(stay tune for an upcoming bow tutorial)
I hope you like our kick off project! I can't wait to show you tomorrow's tags.
