Morning readers,
Yes, Christmas is nearly here and, yes, I AM still making Christmas cards! What IS that all about? It's not like I'm making them for this year, far too late for that! we'll soon be approaching the last posting dates for mail within the UK. Today's make is a batch of three Christmas cards. It got to use up some more washi tape which has been languishing in a drawer, unloved, until recently!

| My batch of three cards, showing the front/back of my cards and envelopes |
Materials used:
- Kraft, 300gsm, 4" square cards (3) and matching envelopes
- Kraft, red and blue card, cut to fit, for my card fronts and inserts
- Washi tape, taped on to a 3¼" strip of white card
- Hampton Arts "tree die" SC0178 (a stamp and die set) used to cut my "trees" and the co-ordinating stamp used to stamp my insert and envelope using Versafine Clair shady lane ink
- Paper Artsy sentiment JOFY 85 for the "Merry Christmas" sentiment on the reverse of the tag, stamped using Versafine Clair tulip red and paradise inks

Super cute tags that everyone is going to want on their presents this year! A great use of washi! I don't see the sentiment on the tags? Is the sentiment on the back of the tags that we can't see? Thank you so much for playing along with us at Retro Rubber! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Ooops, thanks so much Jane ... I've now added a photo of the reverse of my tags, showing the stamping
