CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Christmas Tag

 Good Morning, Stampers!


Welcome to the Create with Stampin' Friends Saturday
blog hop! This week, the team is creating Christmas
tags - the perfect way to tie all your holiday gift packaging together!

There’s something magical about the tiniest details during the holiday season. Long before the wrapping paper is torn open and the bows are saved “just in case,” it’s the Christmas tag that sets the tone — a little preview of the love tucked inside the package.

Whether you’re dressing up a simple kraft‑paper wrap or adding the finishing touch to a handmade gift, tags are the perfect place to play, experiment, and sprinkle a little extra crafting joy this holiday season!


SU!pplies:
Stamps: Delicate Pines
Ink: Pecan Pie, White Craft
Paper: Thick Basic White, Pretty in Pink, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, Old Olive
Accessories: Delicate Pines dies, White Fluffy Ribbon, Baker's Twine Essentials, heat tool. Whtie Embossing Powder, Spotlight on Nature dies, 1/8" hole punch, sponge dauber

12 Days of Christmas - Day 11

 Good Morning, Stampers!


I'm so excited to share 12 days of
holiday paper craft projects with you!
Throughout the month of December, I
will be sharing gift ideas, gift packaging,
treat holders and more to help you
prepare for the holiday season!  


If you are like me and re-use your gift bags, these
super-easy, slip-on tags are the perfect way to 
re-gift in style! Choose colors, patterns or images
that coordinate with your bag and slide the tags right 
on - no tying necessary!


Each tag will need a hole at the top and enough 
ribbon to slide the tag. Wrap the ribbon around the
handle and put both ends thru the top of the hole.
Bring the ends down the backside of the tag and snip ends as desired.


SU!pplies:
Stamps: Greetings of the Season
Ink: Tuxedo Black
Paper: Real Red, Basic Black, Gold Foil
Accessories: Black/Vanilla check ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, Nested Essentials dies, 1/4" hole punch

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #582

 Good Morning, Stampers!

(click photo to enlarge)

The Paper Craft Crew has a #simplestamping
challenge for this week'sWeekly Challenge.
Simple stamping is a great way to introduce stamping to beginners
and also a huge time-saver especially when making large 
quantities at one time. 


I was commissioned to create (200) of these simple Halloween tags for 
an upcoming school fall festival next month. I incorporated a "chalkboard-like" feel 
by stamping all the images using Craft white ink directly on to a Basic Black cardstock
tag. Adding a few banners is a great way to utilize scrap paper strips and
coloring the Black/Vanilla checked ribbon with coordinating Stampin'
Blends gives it a custom look!

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Playful Ghosts
Ink: CraftWhite
Paper: Basic Black, 2024-2026 In Color DSP
Accessories: Iridescent Ribbon, Black/Vanilla Checkedribbon
Stampin' Blends: Highland Heather, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive

Thanks for stopping by - have fun #simplestamping!

rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge #285

 Good Morning, Stampers!


This week's rubberFUNatics challenge is Anything
BUT a Card! This idea is an oldie but a goodie - 
 a tag and gift in one!


I created the tag using the Let's Go Shopping bundle.
then, I added a little strip of cardstock to the bag with a little 
adhesive on each each end - leaving the center open.
This allows me to slip the tag thru the opening to display.
This idea could even work to reuse a gift bag, too!




SU!pplies:
Stamps: Let's Go Shopping
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Basic White, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy, Les Shoppes DSP, , Vellum, Gold Dazzle, Gold Foil
Accessories: Let's Go Shopping dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Night of Navy ribbon, Vanilla/Gold ribbon, Gold embossing powder, heat tool, Adhesive-Backed Metallic dots, Distressed Tile embossing folder
Gift Bag: Hobby Lobby

Thanks so much for stopping by today - I hope you found a little inspiration in this gift bag!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing January Blog Hop

 Good Morning, Stampers!


Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - 
Good Things Come in Small Packages!

This kit is filled with little boxes perfect for giving
gifts cards/cash or small treats. The team is ready
with some fun alternate ideas for you using your kit
contents. We hope our projects inspire you
to get creative with your kit, too!


My project is a tag holder. It's a great way to keep 
tags organized and close at hand! 


I covered the entire crate using the kit pieces 
and tied the crate with a White Frayed ribbon bow.


To create the individual boxes, I simply cut off along the top edge of 
(4) boxes and assembled the boxes according to the instructions. 
Once the boxes were all together, I wrapped the boxes with the 
same wraps included in the kit. I added a label to the front
of each box so it will be easy to find the tag(s) I need. 
The tags were created using the Taylor Made Tags dies 
along with stamps and embellishments from the kit.

They are all organized and ready to add to a gift bag
when the occasion arises! Would make a great gift, too!




Thanks so much for joining us this month!
