As an added bonus, each tag in the video features a different Tim Holtz Christmas Stamp & Stencil Mixed Media Set, which includes two stencil designs in one and slightly smaller versions of his classic red rubber stamp imagery—perfect for tags and cardmaking.

The three tags I made all use similar techniques, but I kept them together in one video to show how you can get different looks with just a few supplies—and how easily they can be turned into cards for your stash.
