Count-down to Christmas has started - part 2

Hello hello!

Work, work and no time for creative me-time at the moment but hey, that's what we all struggle with from time to time.

So I'm continuing my Christmas count-down with 2 more tag-cards and all credit to Cari Fennell for her design inspiration! Goodness how much is hidden in my stash but as Finnabair said at one of her workshops - I work with what is on my desk and what I cannot see, doesn't exist.

When it comes to cards, I always leave out sentiments from the cover, I write them on the inside instead thus getting a greater flexibility. The first of the below cards could very well be used as a birthday card for someone who has her/his birthday in the winter for instance.
