12 Weeks of Stampin’ Up! Christmas - Tags, Tags, Tags...Week Nine

Hello everyone!  It’s WEEK NINE of 12 Weeks of Christmas - Stampin’ Up!!  I hope it gets you’re creative juices flowing!

Tags, Tags, Tags…

All images © 1990-2019 Stampin’ Up!®

Supplies: 

• Stamp Sets – Tags, Tags, Tags Bundle (153042)

• Card Stock – Whisper White (100730)

• Stamp Pads – Versa Mark (102283)

• Misc. –Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder (107129); Gold Glimmer Paper (146958); Whisper White Bakers Twine (124262); Wrapped In Plaid Designer Series Paper (149596); Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Markers (147155 - This is for the full set of Regals Stampin’ Write Markers); Take Your Pick Tool (144107); Heat Tool (129053); Embossing Buddy (103083); Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755); Die Cutting Machine

​

Measurements:  

• Whisper White Cardstock: approx. 3” x 5” (These measurements don’t matter if you are making a bunch of tags)

• Gold Glimmer Paper: Scrap for snowflakes (Die measures 1 ½” x ¾” and cuts 2 snowflakes)

• Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper: 1 ¼” x 2 ½” of various patterns 

​

Instructions :

1. Use your Embossing Buddy on the piece of Whisper White cardstock and then stamp the Christmas trio of stamps using Versa Mark ink.

2. Sprinkle Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder on the image, tap off excess then heat emboss with your Heat Tool. 

3. Die cut using the Trio of Tags Die. 

4. Die cut the snowflakes using the die for the desired number of snowflakes you need for your tags. Assuming you are making a bunch for gifts.  HERE’S A TRICK: Getting a good cut using the Gold Glimmer Paper can be tricky in your die cutting machine. Try putting the Glimmer Paper face down and use the die on the back and it should cut through very nice. I also peeled the backing off the Glimmer Paper after die cutting to make adhering to my tags easier. 

5. Dress up your tags: Add a snowflake to the center of the Season’s Greetings tag with liquid glue, color the elf tag with Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce markers, and color the birds with Cherry Cobbler marker on the Merry tag. 

6. Each tag is layered on top of a 1 ¼” x 2 ½” piece of designer paper. I used the Take Your Pick Tool to pierce a hole in the designer paper to match the hole in the tag then I threaded the baker’s twine through with my Take Your Pick Tool as well. 

7. I flagged the designer paper on two of the tags at one end and both ends on the last one. The tags are not glued to the designer paper. They are only held on with the baker’s twine and move freely back and forth.

8. I also added a Gold Glimmer snowflake to two of the tags on the designer paper as shown under the tags. When they move back and forth you can see the snowflake peeking through. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a GREAT rest of your day!!!

November Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop

Hello Every and WELCOME to the November Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!  This months kit is FABULOUS!!! I hope you hop along with us because you're gonna find lots of GREAT INSPIRATION!!!

I decided to use my kit to create home decor gifts for the holidays!  Once I started, I couldn't quit!  My mind was overloaded with ideas...but after FIVE projects...I decided I had to take a break and start getting ready for my December classes!

Here goes...I hope you enjoy my creations!!

My first idea was to make a banner with the tags.  I used the Hand Lettered Prose dies to cut the "J" and the "Y" from Sparkle Glimmer paper.  The "O" is created by stacking a couple of snowflakes that are include in the kit!

This cute frame is from IKEA.  It is a frame for two photos and sells for $1.00...what and AFFORDABLE project this would be for a gift or class!  I cut the star with the Stitched Stars Dies and the background designer paper is from the Let It Snow paper pack.

This fun project is an 8" x 8" shadow box. The background is an 8" x 8" piece of  Mossy Meadow cardstock with a 6" x 6" piece of Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Paper.  The Pool Party background is two tags cut down to 2" x 4" and put together.  I LOVE this designer paper so much!!

My next shadow box has an 8" x 8" piece of Let It Snow designer paper as it's background.  All of the other supplies are from the November Paper Pumpkin kit except the rhinestones.  Isn't is FABULOUS?  It's really a GREAT kit!

My last project just might be my favorite!  I used the Woodland Embossing Folder to emboss and ink a 6" x 6" piece of  Thick Whisper White cardstock then mounted it onto a 8" x 8" piece of Whisper White cardstock.  The snow is cut by hand, using the Sparkle Glimmer paper and I added a cute little Jingle Bell to the Reindeer!
