'O' Christmas Tree



Wishing You Cheer All Year

 Today I am sharing a tag I made with gold glittered burlap over a manila tag.
 I found this glitter burlap and a pretty red 5" x 5' roll at my Family dollar, (wish I would have picked up more than 1 roll each while I was there!)
 I cut out a Christmas tree template I found on the web and adhered it to sturdy card stock and covered with designer paper from Kaisercraft. Added little gold stamens with tacky glue. Tree was adhered with pop up dots to tag.
Embellishing with gold trim, a vintage button and a little hand cut tag-stamping the holiday sentiment with jet black archival ink.

#8 Tag
Glitter Burlap
Card Stock
Designer Paper
Gold Stamens
Vintage Button
Gold Trim

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
They are green when summer days are bright,
They are green when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
O green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.
Your boughs so green in summertime
Stay bravely green in wintertime.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.

Fa la la la la la la la la.
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel
Troll the ancient Christmas carol,
Fa la la la la la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus.

Follow me in merry measure,
While I tell of Christmas treasure,

Fast away the old year passes,
