New Year Pocket Watch Tag

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year 2013 !

Created this New Year Pocket Watch Tag using a Sizzix Original die, Pocket. Used Denim scrapbook paper for the pocket. The Pocket die has a faux stitching as part of the die. Used Kraft americana dark blue cardstock as base of tag cut with scissors. Red tape used to seal up around the edges of the Pocket except for top where the pocket watch is placed hanging from inside of the pocket. Added eyelets to Pocket Tag using Crop-A-Dile. Stamped a Basic Grey New Year stamp. Distressed the edges with TH Paper Distresser. 
Used Cricut George and Basic Shapes cartridge for 2 1/2" circle of Kraft cardstock that I stamped the Tim Holtz pocket watch on. Used gold link rings attached to the pocket watch and have it hang from inside of pocket.

WILD WEST Pocket Tag

Created this WILD WEST Pocket Tag using a Sizzix Original die, Pocket. Used Western scrapbook paper centering the boot image to cut pocket image. The Pocket die has a faux stitching as part of the die. Used Kraft cardstock as base of tag cut with scissors. Red tape used to seal up around the edges of the Pocket except for top where a note can be placed inside of the pocket. Added eyelets to Pocket Tag using Crop-A-Dile. Had bought the Crop-A-Dile this yr but only used it to punch holes. Well, now I can say I used it to put the eyelets in place. Stamped a Tim Holtz WILD WEST stamp. Distressed the edges with TH Paper Distresser and TH Distress Ink.
