From the beloved movie The Polar Express, I made this fantastic gift tag for Christmas.
It is my favorite tag that I created this year!

I had sooooo much fun creating this tag on Cricut Design Space!
The details that make this tag special:
The smoke coming out of the frame
The texture of the dark gray paper that looks like metal and shimmers in the light
The finishing touch - the snow all over the tag!

Notes:
I used White Vinyl for the Polar Express lettering because it is very small and harder to cut out with paper.
I found a Dark Gray Paper that had a metal look to it (from Michaels) that really looks great! It picks up the light and shimmers like metal.
I used Gray Pastel to add the detail to the smoke.
The finishing touch that really pulls the whole thing together is making the snow with a white paint pen! Dotting different sizes all over everything gives it a 3D look!

I had extra space on the back of the tag so I added a quote from the movie.
