Design team member Wendy Sue Anderson also used the Tree House collection to create this fun and festive holiday card. Here's what Wendy Sue had to say ... "To make the little Christmas tree on my card, I cut apart the strips from the Merriment paper and used the green, red, and brown patterns. I cut various lengths and arranged them from smallest (on top) to longest (on bottom). I didn’t take too much time making everything perfect – I kind of like that it’s a little wonky. I added Candy Dots to act as ornaments ... and what’s a Christmas Tree without a star on top (even a beautiful yellow flower)? To create the sentiment, I placed the large stickers down, then added “to you” by using letters from the “thank you” sentiment sheet. And of course, I had to use lots of foam dots to add dimension!"

Love the tags and the card. I create my own cards for Christmas. May even create some tags this year.
I love these beautiful creations! You proved me that you can also use non-Christmas themed papers to make a Christmas card with. I do create my own cards every year. It's a lot of work, but these handmade cards are always truly appreciated:)
I usually try to create Christmas cards thoughout the year so that by the time the holidays arrives I'm not madly trying to get more done.
I don't generally make my own tags....not enough hours in the day and they just get thrown out anyways.
I love that tree card and the tags are cute too! I am making my Christmas cards for the first time this year! I have been making tags for a couple years. Thanks for the chance to win!!

Lynn, these tags are just the SWEETEST creations! Love 'em. And yes, I make holidays tags and cards every year. I also give sets of my handmade cards as gifts to family and friends, and I send them to our troops overseas as well. Happy Holidays to you and yours!!

I always make my own christmas cards but rarely make tags, I don't really know why, I always think they look so cute, but never make them, I shall make more of an effort in future
Oh Lynn those are so cute!! I LOVE Wendy's card as well!!!! Such inspiring project!! Guess what I found at Archiver's last night!!!!!!!!! Pebbles papers and buttons and candy dots for the new baby boy and girl line! Yay!! SO very excited about that one!!
I love to make cards as gifts for the holidays but often run out of time!
such cuteness!!! I really think the "noel" snoman is my fave!!! Believe it or not I am STILL making cards....such a slacker I know!!! Next year I am starting Jan 1......lol. Seriously!!! Every card challenge I do I am gonna make a Christmas card so I am better prepared!! I am also still working on teacher and grandparent gifts......I think I am gonna ask Santa for more hours in the day :)
I handmake my own cards but not my own tags. I enjoy doing the cards but I try to keep them simple so I don't get overwhelmed.
I love those tags!! I do make my own cards and tags now that I have gotten better at it.
What cute tags!
Yes, I make my own Christmas Cards utilising a family photo that I take and normally some Ali E dowloads. Last year I made gift tags too.
Would love to win!
Love the tags! So cute! I've never made any, but these sure would encourage me to try! I have done Cards though!
Wonderful tags and the card is gorgeous. I love the look of the tree. I make my own cards and started making my own tags last year. I really have fun doing it!
Beautiful tags and card. I normally make all my own cards and tags but this is the first year due to have to lay flat on my back for over 2 months that I have not been able to. I have really missed it and could not wait this week to be free and able to craft again lol.

I love making my own cards and tags... especially at Christmas time! I just need to remember to start these in January so I actually get them done in time!!

I don't give out many Christmas cards, but the ones that I do are handmade! I love making my own cards and tags! Love the projects here! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Wow! Those are so cute! Fabulous prize!!
Oh, I just love these tags! I do not create my own cards, but I am going to create some of my own tags this year.
Your tags are fabulous!!! Yes I have started making my own cards, tags and a few gifts, Just feel like these are more from the heart!! Thanks and Happy Holidays!!
I often make a few tags for special gifts, but have not started doing handmade cards yet. I have seen so many cute examples, that I might decide to start.
Yes, I do make my own cards and tags for the holidays...it really helps me get into the spirit! Thanks so much!
I do make some of my own tags, but I have to confess that I order my cards from Snapfish :) We simply send out too many cards to make them all from scratch.
Awww love the tags and the cute christmas card- i think it look exactly like a tree! very clever!
I love Christmas because it's the one time of the year I have an actual deadline to finish projects. Like cards and gift tags.
Those tags are so adorable! I do make some of my own tags and cards for the holidays but I don't mass produce them. Just small quantities for those special people in my life!
I hand made gift tags last year~but this year it just didn't happen!!! Thanks for a chance to win all of this cool Pebbles goodies!!!!
love your work...even the cake, sorry I meant tree (LOL)
I make my own cards and we send about 60 to family and friends. Our list grew when my husband re-connected with his Navy buddies.
Lynn, Those frolic tags are too adorable!! And I love that card is so cute. Its great to see some quick projects that we can play with :O)
Last year I made my cards, but this year I just ran out of time! Hopefully next year I will be more successful again!
at Christmas I optfor store bought because I have soooooooo many---but other holidays/occasions I do handmade
I love making my own tags, cards, and even some ornaments for Christmas. It's a great way to use up the left over scraps from the layouts the year before and people always gush over your cards when they are handmade ;)
I love these tags and cards - I usually only make about 10-15 cards each year
Lynn, your tags are so cute! i love to make my own tags and cards.
Cards yes, tags not as often because it breaks my heart to see them go in the trash with the wrapping paper. All of these tags are too cute!
-Kristin
Love the tags and the card!!!! I make my own tags each year. I feel it gives the gift a personal touch. Happy Holidays!
I made some tags for some of the presents this year. However, as I look at my desk, everything I wanted to use to make cards is still sitting in a pile. I better hurry.
Wonderful tags and cards, Lynn and Wendy!
I do make my own holiday cards, but I usually use printable tags to save time. Now hopefully I have a little more time to scrap! Thanks for the chance to win!
Very cute ! I try to make my own tags if I have the time--they look much nicer than bought ones !
Yup! I make all my cards and tags! I love it!
I usually make a few cards for close friends or family. Not this year though. Everyone keeps getting sick.
I normally handmake my cards. I wasn't in the mood this year. This year I bought my cards.

I create handmade tags....it's a great way to use up scraps. :)
I make some tags for the food gifts I give, but use store-bought for the ones w/in the family.
I used to make all 150 Christmas cards each year. My goal for my life this year was to simplify. SO this year I made about 50 cards and ordered photo cards for the rest. It was liberating :-). Love all of the blog card ideas...they are all darling.
I am actually cutting my own tags as I write this. It is a first for me, and I am really excited to see how they turn out!
Cute creations!
I make my own cards for friends & family. Like to make gift tags that match the wrapping paper too :)
I make my own cards, and I'd love to branch out into tags. I was really tickled with all the cards and tags on the blog - so cute and fun.
I haven't crafted for this Holiday season. Shame on me!
But next year my scraproom will be finished and I'll do a lot of beautiful thins the whole year long.

I am making tags this year with my Christmas supplies. Did not have the time I thought I would to make my own cards. There is always next year!
Oh, I love those cute tags. The tree on the card is fab too. I do make cards and tags for the holidays. I love to give a little bit of handmade love.

I hand made tags and cards, mostly hybrid cards using photo-cards.
I do make homemade Christmas cards, love the projects, its great to find new things to check out. Thanks for sharing and a chance to win a great prize.Jeanette Ramsdell
I make my Christmas cards, several of one design. And if (like today) I luck into a snow day, I personalize some for individuals.
Yes I totally make my own holiday cards and scrapbooking. I would LOVE to have these goodies to craft with!! Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!!
It depends on how busy I am. This year, I have taken on a second job and my crafting time has not been much, so I had to go the store bought route.
Wow those tags are so cute, and that card is fabulous! I love the tree :) I make my own cards, but not tags usually.

Love the projects! I do make my own cards every year and I made tags for the first time this year!

I made my own Christhmas cards every year and I love it!! It´s amazing to receive a handmade card, isn´t it??
I make some but buy some! Too busy with my husband's art shows sometimes! :-) Thanks for a chance to win!
I do make my own cards and tags for da holidays ... this year I didn't make as much as I wanted, but I always enjoy making each one of them, different :)
Thanks,
Clouds :)
Oooh what fun goodies! I make *some* handmade cards, but certainly don't make them all, and I don't even try to make Christmas cards. I knitted a stocking for my niece this year--that was enough! But I'm hoping to do more cards in the coming year.
I do make my own holiday cards and unfortunately I am still working on them!
Yes, this was the first year that I made all my own cards, gift tags, and gift bags. I had so much fun making everything!

What sweet tags and cards. I make all of my Christmas cards (and some for people in my office) and tags. I love doing it.
Love the tags!! I didn't craft my own tags his year. Just set up a craft area in thebasement - so maye later this week I'll do some!!
I did half and half. For the people I care most about, I made the cards myself. For the others I just bought a card. Since we do not use tags, I did not make any. Would love to win this package. Looks so yummy
Love the tags and card. Thanks for the giveaway!

I have every intention of making cards and tags every year. I'll even buy all of the supplies. But I've yet to do it! Maybe next year. Haha!
Love those tags!! They are so sweet! Also love this card!!
I made christmas cards for my daughters this year and today was my little girl's birthday, so I made a birthday card for her, too.
I do make a few cards for the holidays, but mostly I make scrappy gifts for friends and family :)
Love to get all these helpful ideas. Thank you, so much.
Thanks for all the gorgeous inspiration this week. I love making my Christmas cards - I always start early & make way too many, then leave it 'til the last minute to write in them & post them out!
Oh I love all of them, I have not done this yet bc i just got into making things alot this year.
Yes I make and design my own card each year you can take a look at this year card on my blog

I have made all my cards & making great progress on my tags too! (although mine are much more simple than these fab creation!!!!)
Thanks for the chance!
I love those tags and the card is very pretty, too. I don't typically craft my own tags or holiday cards, but this year (if I stay ahead of the game this week), I might try my hand at making some tags (cards are already bought and mailed) - maybe next year for the cards. ;)
I make my own cards but don't make the tags. I'll add that to my list to try next year!
I make my own cards but haven't tried tags yet. I'm thinking that might change though! ;)

Cute tags! I try to make a few cards and tags...not this year though. Not enough hours in the day!
