Barbara <\/a>got into the Christmas spirit and created two tags using different die cuts: Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Winter Wishes Thinlits Dies<\/a> and Simon Says Stamp Home For Christmas Wafer Dies<\/a>. She used various stamp sets to complete the tags, including Home For Christmas by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous<\/a>.

Emma<\/a> created a background on her Etcetera Tag<\/a> project using the snowflake die from the Sizzix Vault Winter Wishes Thinlits Die Set by Tim Holtz<\/a>.
