Bless Lauren and Steph, AKA The Jingle Belles - they always have such fun Christmas challenges on offer over at their gorgeous blog! Congrats to them both as this will be their sixteenth year of challenges.
Their current challenge has the prompt No Time Like the Presents and they'd like to see us use wrapping paper on our cards or tags. I had some gorgeous pieces of retro-ish Santa paper, then I began eyeing a chocolate box sleeve with a huge red snowflake and here's what happened!
I'm not sure if this will stay as a tag or become a card, so I've not punched a ribbon slot. I think either could be fun. The red hologram card is so pretty and a few snippets have found their way into my stash with a view to making a Valentines appearance.
Here's the original paper and would you just look at that - I still have a few jolly Santa's left to play with!
Happy crafting, everyone!

That paper has a rather ‘50s vibe going on — love how you’ve used it on your tag Jo. The little bit of red snowflake adds to the fabulously festive feel and the swiftly circle framing looks great, love it!
Just gorgeous Jo. What fabulous wrapping paper.
OH! Great card from Christmas paper, I love the design. x
Oh my gosh, that is truly BEAUTIFUL giftwrap; those are the ideal retro santa images, imo! Great call upcycling the cool snowflake from the chocolate box too... you're definitely in the zone on this challenge! So pleased you could join our giftwrap/tag-centric fun at Jingle Belles! ♥
What a fun idea for a challenge and I love the images you chose to feature, Jo!!
Fabulous make with your retro wrapping paper, Jo! It reminds me of the wrapping paper when I was little. :) You gotta love when a card brings back fond memories. LOVE the holographic paper too ... so pretty!! xx
