I was going to give you a break from my Christmas projects, but this was just too cute not to share today!  It was designed by Stacey Buzbee, and I saw it on the blog of the #1 Demonstrator in the US for 2011, Tami White.  You can look it up and get the directions – or you can come to my super cool end of the year Christmas party on Dec. 3 or 7 (both at 10 a.m.).  Here’s what it looks like.

It’s a cute little tag that you can add to gifts.  But, look what happens when you pull that little “bead.”

Isn’t that cute?  And it’s so easy.  It looks better in person.  Once I get my tree up, ornaments will be easier to photograph.  Seriously – this took me less than 20 minutes to make.  Here are the supplies I used.

Stamp sets:  Pennant Parade, Serene Snowflakes; Very Vintage jumbo wheel; Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi classic; Paper:  Very Vanilla card stock; Holly Berry designer series paper; Other:  Pear Pizzazz 1/8″ taffeta ribbon, sponge, stamp-a-ma-jig, Simply Scored scoring board*   (*available in the Holiday Mini Catalog; all other products are available in the 2011-12 Stampin’ Up!® Idea Book & Catalog)

You’re supposed to add a bead to keep the tag closed (or the ornament open), but instead of buying one (or bumming one off Rachel or Steph!), I made a paper one from designer paper.  It’s kind of dorky; I need to reread the directions for making those.  But I love the ornament, and I can see these on lots of gifts in the future!  They’d be cute for other occasions, too.

Tomorrow I’ll show you the anniversary card I made for my sweetie (and by that I mean Mike, of course).  We’ll celebrate our 29th on Nov. 27!

Have a wonderful weekend.  Don’t forget to check in on Monday for the Online Extravaganza!  Thanks for stopping by.
