Good Monday morning. I have a fun tag to share with you today made using the Impression Obsession Santa and Fir Trees paired with a precious village scene from the Pink Paislee Snow Village pad and using the Inkssentials Tag for the base.
The tag is about 1/4” wider than the designer paper so I cut a small section, matched up the houses and attached together to make it long enough to cover the tag. You can see it if you look closely on the left side.
I cut a strip of white cardstock with my deckle scissors, crimped with my wave crimper and attached it to the tag with mounting tape.
I cut several fir trees and crimped with my straight crimper to add dimension.
I applied small pieces of mounting tape to the back of the trees and tucked them in behind the snow layer.
I cut the Santa and reindeer and applied color using distress inks and a Sofft mini applicator. I also used a fired brick and a peeled paint marker to apply a darker shade of green and red to the sleigh and Santa. It is hard to see in the photos but I applied versa to the sleigh runners and reins with a versa marker and embossed with gold embossing powder.
I attached small pieces of mounting tape to the back of the sleigh and the first two sets of reindeer and attached them to the tag. I allowed the front set of reindeer to be free and pop off the edge of the tag so they would appear to be going up, up and away. 
I love the sweet village paper and thought it would be a perfect background for Santa. I think this is so fun.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Yes Kittie, this is FUN!
You are a really artist! Fantastic ideas do you have!
Thank you that you show us where you placed the mounting tape on the back of the trees or the Santa.
Have a nice day Kittie…

This tag is fabulous. I just love it.
I sure love this tag and the designer paper you used. I thought at first, you had stamped all of those houses. I don’t know how you come up with such beautiful ideas every day. Thank you for sharing.

This is really fantastic! The way that background paper’s pattern lays out is just perfect with these gorgeous die cuts. Love it!
My favorite die (for now) is that IO Santa tks to you. I love how you teach how to color those intricate dies. You also brought that paper to life. How amazing you are.
Awesome tag Kittie! Love the snow village paper background!
Kittie, this is so darned cute….. What a clever way to use that paper… never would I have ever thought to do it…. I absolutely loved this card… thank you for sharing your creativity
Such a cute, darling tag! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me.
I have been making Christmas cards this weekend and used the Santa with the reindeer on every one!
good Afternoon, Kittie. MY!OH!MY! what a clever tag. Outstanding in design and concept putting it together. and A+. I thought at first you made all these houses as you do them so well. WOW! thank goodness, you used the print paper. Another A+
a really gorgeous, tag, a keeper…..have a nice day….hugs
A masterpiece. Just beautiful…you should frame it…better yet, send it to me and I will. Make sure you autograph it!
Kittie, this tag is amazing, it makes me smile! I struggle to use printed paper, so this is a very inspiring technique for me. I buy the printed paper because it is so beautiful and then I mostly use my plain cardstock. This project has given me the creative inspiration I need. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tag and the excellent tutorial.
