Simple {Graphic 45} Christmas Garland Tutorial

To make this project I used the following Graphic 45 papers from the Christmas Past Collection:

Start with a 12×12 inch piece of chipboard and cut six 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ rectangles.

To create a tag from each rectangle:

Cut off the top right hand corner of the chipboard rectangle and then use the cut off edge as a template to reverse cut the opposite side. Afterward, punch a hole in between the two cut-off corners.

Using the “Jolly Old St. Nicholas” paper, cut two 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ pieces featuring Santa (I cut off the postage stamp edges first, it made this process much easier).

Cut out one 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ piece from the “Ode to Joy” paper featuring the angels.

Punch out the three 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ frames from the “Christmas Past Frames” (these are pre-cut to the exact size you will need).

Attach all six of the 3-1/2″ x 5 -1/2″ pieces of Graphic 45 papers on top of the six cut chipboard pieces.

After the Graphic 45 paper is attached to the chipboard, re-cut corners and re-punch holes in the tags.

Chalk the edges of each individual tag using Liquid Chalk.

Trace around your favorite part of each tag using a Sparkle Gelly Roll pen.

Examples of the Sparkle Pen:

Attach ribbon or lace to the bottom of each individual tag (in this case I used a lace that has tiny pom-poms).

Using your “Glad Tidings” paper, punch out six 1/2″ circles and then punch a hole in the center of each circle. Afterward, use liquid chalk around the edge of each circle.
