Wow, you turned the gorgeous tags into fabulous Christmas cards, Bonnie! I love the colors and effects of Inka Gold Smoosh background. The scored frame is a really nice touch.
ReplyDeleteThe marble patterns of the second card/tag is beautiful and Emerald Envy is perfect for the AI colors used. The tree is sooo pretty! I could hear the joy of the tags, getting a new life!

I just realized I didn't comment on this the other day when I first saw it. I clicked over and watched the demo video again and got sidetracked. This is just truly stunning. That smooshed background knocks my socks off and the colors are so gorgeous. I love the glitter frame and lovely silver cord.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Bonnie! My tags always seem to find their way onto cards. Your glittery tag is stunning and a stand out. Love the emerald colour... very refreshing! xx
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas! Hugs, Trina
Such beautiful, beautiful colors!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I need a few cards today (Christmas Eve) -- wow, you sure came to the rescue. I have some tags made so just need to do a quick conversion. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou have turned these tags into two beautiful cards Bonnie using that lovely strong green as a background card and that dry embossed framing really works. x
ReplyDeleteWow Bonnie! This is so beautiful! I love all the sparkle and shine on that layered snowflake tag! and the fab inky background!
ReplyDeleteSuch excellent use of tags that you did not use. It's a beautiful idea for Christmas cards. I love the background of the first tag. WOW !!
