This cross stitch parcel was another piece of holiday stitching and used snippets of perforated paper and threads - perfect for making into a gift tag with more card and paper snippets.

To make this tag I used:
Creative Expressions 'Pierced Tags' die
Catkin & Lillie 'Mini Presents' cross stitch chart
DMC red, green and black threads
Snippets of white card, Wild Rose Studio 'Painted Poinsettia' paper and perforated paper

I attached the paper to the white card and die cut the middle size tag before embossing around the edge. After stitching the cross stitch present I used a sharp pair of scissors to trim around the stitching and used strong tape to attach the present to the tag. To finish, I used more oddments of the same red and green threads to attach to the top of the tag.
I am entering the following challenges:
Allsorts - Anything Goes
As You Like It Challenge - Favourite Non-card Crafting Project (I always use recycled brown paper to wrap presents so like to make colourful tags for them - this one also has a cross stitch element which is my other favourite craft)
Daisy Chain Challenge - Christmas in July
Snippets Playground - Challenge 510
Tag-Along (and ATCs) - Anything Goes

Getting ahead of your tags for Christmas... I can't face myself but well done! Thanks for playing with us at Allsorts challenge.
Beautiful tag, Kath. The stitching is so neat and I love how you’ve used the thread at the top of the tag too. Thank you for joining in the Allsorts Challenge.

I love the cross stitched present on your lovely tag Kath, and the background paper is very pretty and the added pieces of thread through the top of the tag are just perfect. x
A wonderful tag, I do love Kat's patterns, particularly the stacked snowflakes. Thank you for joining in at allsorts. Sarah
Hi Kath
Such a cute tag - definitely not one that would be parted with.
Apologies for being a stranger .. .. .. life has been very "full on" here but hopefully it will start to calm down again soon.
You have been posting some beautiful cards in my absence.
Hope you had a good time away.
Love Jules xx
What a wonderful Christmas tag Kath - featuring one of your lovely stitched works of art.
