These little chipboard ornaments were from a kit by Melissa Frances (Impress store). You could make these easily enough with some of the house templates on the internet. Ornaments were painted with acrylic paints, added glitter and mini trees. A hole was cut in the bottom so I can pop a Christmas tree light on the inside of the house, windows are covered with an acetate sheet for a glass look. Can't wait to put these on the tree!

Snowman Gift Tags
I found a stack of these retired Stampin' Up snowman images all colored up and glittered so I completed the half started project after all of these years, turning them into tags. I don't know the name of the set as I don't have it any more. I have boxes and boxes of things waiting to be finished! I used various scraps of designer paper, ribbons, fibers, and embellishments to complete.
