1. Christmas - 1. Cut Christmas tree paper from the pack to fit the centre of white tag and ink the edges pink before adhering. Trim a long triangle shape from glitter card for the tree and wrap with silver wire. Attach self-adhesive gems for baubles. Glue the motif to the tag using 3-D foam pads and add a star on top.
   
   2. Wrap a length of pink ribbon around the bottom edge of the tag. Create a computer printed ‘Merry Christmas’ greeting to say, and cut out. Ink the rims green then adhere. Knot a small length of pink ribbon to the tag top to complete.
