I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful and you got to spend it together with those you love! I’m finishing out the week with my Paper Pumpkin alternatives with a fun little gift card. I haven’t made this type of gift card in a while – I first saw it made by Dawn Griffith. It’s a…
I could not pass up making a gift tag with the stamp set from the November Paper Pumpkin kit. This time, I paired up the stamp set with the dies from the Creative Haven bundle. I went with some bold traditional Christmas colors – Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, and Crushed Curry. I cut two tags…
The stamp sets from Paper Pumpkins are truly a gift that keeps on giving. I’ve been subscribed to Paper Pumpkin for about 10 years and I have saved all the stamp sets from those kits. They are really useful – you’ll never run out of holiday, thank you, or birthday stamps – that’s for sure….
I think I say it every year but I’ll say it again – October and November Paper Pumpkin kits are pretty much my favorites every year. It’s because they are usually Christmas-themed and one of them is usually great for gift-giving. This year’s November kit is call Wrapped in Cheer and the treat boxes they…
Here is a tag that was probably the easiest to make during my Tag-a-palooza class. It uses the Everyday Arches dies, a corner rounder, and a ‘splat’ from the new Cake Day dies. I used the Bright Collection as my color palette and we made 5 different colored tags (Coastal Cabana, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple…
Here is a third tag we made at my tag class this past weekend. This one used the Patterned Tags Dies and the Christmas Words Hybrid Embossing Folder. I used Very Vanilla and Misty Moonlight for my colors: The Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder will give you so many sentiment cutouts that you’ll be…
Here is another tag made at my Tag-a-palooza get together this past weekend. We made it using the Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder, the Jolly Delivery Photopolymer Stamp Set, and some of those cute Delightful Decorative Dots! The 3D Embossing folder made blending some color on the tag so easy! And the look is awesome…
Do you use tags for your holiday gift-giving? Or do you test your mental strength by trying to remember which bow you put on who’s gift? I held my Tag-a-palooza event this past weekend and my attendees left with 25 handmade tags. The best part – we had a lot of fun! Here is the…
Have you purchased the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar from Stampin’ Up!? If you have, have you opened it yet? (I did – I just couldn’t wait until December!!) It’s full of great Stampin’ Up! products to craft into the new year. And it’s an all-occasion type of bundle – it’s perfect for so…
One more card for the week using the Pop-Up Petals Bundle from Stampin’ Up! And this time, I used the dies that help make cards even more fun by creating a pop-up mechanism. If you take a look at the picture of the bundle above, note the two dies on the lower left that are…
