Our Challenge in my stamp group this month is to use ATC's (Artist trading cards) or Tags. I went with two of each. I went searching through my dies trying to see if I had one that is a trading cards size, which is 2.5 x 3.5. I finally came across these frame dies and the center portion that falls out of the frame just happened to be that size. I had put the frames to them aside, but later colored them a little darker with some markers and glued them to the base of the card, I had already popped up the Center bits.
This first one I went with making a little winter scene using some small die cuts, I did a little inking on the deer and then added some white dots to his back because he looked like a fawn to me.
- BasicGrey - Blitzen papers
- Michaels - Rounded Rectangle frame die
- Taylored Expressions - Central Park dies (snow, deer and small trees) Evergreens die(large tree) and Sun and cloud dies ( I only used the clouds)
- Hobby Lobby - Country tags chipboard sentiment
- Spellbinders - A2 matting basics A die
Here is a little closeup of the scene.
Next I just used some snowflake punches and gems to decorate.
- BasicGrey - Blitzen papers
- Michaels - Rounded Rectangle frame die
- Martha Stewart - Snowflake punches and snowflake border punch
- Paper Studio - Gems Border
- Crafter's companion - Little gems center snowflakes
- Hobby Lobby - Country tags Chipboard sentiment
The last two uses some old tags that goes with this paper pack. I added some die cuts to the top of the tag along with a brad and some washi tape at the bottom of the card that says Merry Christmas.
- Daisy D - Papers and tag
- Bazzill - Brad
- Recollections - Washi tape
- Tim Holtz - Funky Festive dies (Branch and flower)
On my last card here I added the washi tape sentiment right to the tag above Santa and added some more die cuts at the top.
- Daisy D - Papers and tag
- Bazzill - Brad
- Recollections - Washi tape
- Tim Holtz - Funky Festive dies (Leaves and Holly)
- Red Gem to go with the Holly
I would like to share my card today with the Peace on Earth Challenge
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Adorable cards!
I love how you took the tags, and added little details to make the cards so special! Great to get a headstart on the Christmas cards! Happy Memorial Day!
Love them all! I don’t think I could pick a favorite. But that little deer you made a fawn is so adorable!! ❤️💚
Oh what fun! They whip up in no time and become these little works of art. Well done, you have quite a Collection here. If this helps, playing cards are actually 2.5 x 3.5 inches! Buy a cheap pack at The Dollar Store to have on hand! ;)
These are all darling, Connie! The little deer scene is so sweet and I like the simplicity of the snowflake card. The scalloped edge gives it nice texture. Of course, your vintage santa's stole my heart. Happy Memorial Day my friend.
Oh Connie, these are all just awesome! What fun you have a stamping group to create with! Well done my friend! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Peace on Earth challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

Lovely cards. First one is my fav.
I love them all and if I had to pick one, I'd pick the adorable winter scene with the deer. Lots of pieces and so lovely!
Gosh, you're doing so great with your Christmas cards, Connie! The papers served you well for each card, and you had all the right dies and tags to build on them!
These are all beautiful, Connie xoxo
Such wonderful variety—and all of them, once again, so charmingly designed. You’ll understand why the first card is my favorite; as a dweller of the woods, I recognize scenes like this from real life.
What a lovely collection ... well done Connie.
All the best Jan
I specially love the deer one. The little added white dots made all the difference.

Your ATC and tag collection is wonderfully varied with the sweet winter scene, the crisp snowflake design, and the vintage Santa tags, and the mix of dies, punches, gems, and washi tape gives each piece its own personality while still feeling cohesive and thoughtfully crafted.
This turned out so pretty!!! I love ATC"s
