Did you see the Stamp A Tag Kit in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog?
It has everything you need to make a pile of tags for your Holiday Gifts.
I decided to use the kit in my Team Meeting this past weekend. So I added a few things so that I would have enough for everyone that attended. Basically each box was shared by 2 people. But I still wanted them to have something cute to put their tags in. This is what I came up with –
Here are the details:
- I pulled out some little square window tins that I had in my craft closet
- Cut a 1″ strip of Season of Style Designer Paper – wrapped it around the base of the tin and secured it with sticky strip.
- On the lid wrap a piece of Brown Sugar Ruffled ribbon. It’s just tied in a knot on the front. and also secured with some sticky strip.
- for the tags – I alternated the stamp images in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive
- to step up the tags I pulled out the Mini Merrys Punch Set and punch from coordinating card stock the star and the tree and added them to each tag with a bit of Stampin’ Dimensional. A very simple addition to these fun little tags.
I hope you like this fun take on the Stamp a Tag Kit.

Today I thought I would share the swaps from my last team meeting. Every other month we get together to share ideas, learn business tips and stamp of course. It is a fun evening for demonstrators on my team and those in the area that need a team meeting to go to. So if you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and you would like to attend my team meetings please let me know and I’ll add you to my Facebook group. If you are not a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator (yet) and want to learn more about joining my team I’d love to talk to you about it!
Now back to the swaps –

Two Thank You cards to show you today….
Cindy Schuster brought these as Make&Takes for my last PAWS team meeting. Everyone got to make one of each. The cards have the same layout and the same stamps but a different look because of the colors and embellishments. One has a Fall feel and the other more of a Spring feel.
So if you have a card that you like try changing up the colors to give it a new look.
Thank you for visiting today!

If you wondered why I haven’t posted in a while – well I went away on a long scrapbook weekend in the North Georgia Mountains. It was a really fun weekend and I spent time working on a scrapbook that I have been planning for years! I just haven’t taken the time to actually sit down and work on it. But I did this weekend. It was so fun to go look back at the pictures of our trip that we took in 2006. Yep it was quite some time ago and we have all changed – the boys have grown into young men and well Greg and I have aged a bit.
I had intended to create blog posts while I was away but after the first day up there the internet stopped working and well I spent the time doing other things and not on my computer. I suppose that is good I’m sure it meant I spent more time scrapbooking and more time getting to know the other people at the cabin – I only new a few to begin with and there were about 20 of us there. It was a fun weekend with lots of crafting and laughing in a beautiful cabin (well a rather large house really) on Lake Rabun in the North Georgia Mountains.
I thought I would share the first layout for my scrapbook that I worked on while I was at the retreat –
I actually made the layout years ago and saved all my designer paper form this collection when it retired. Plus the stamp set, ink and card stock. Pretty much everything I’m using is now retired. And I’ve ended up making a few substitutions (or additions) too. The colors that I saved were Sage Shadow and Really Rust – remember those? I’ve been hanging onto all this old stuff just for this scrapbook. I printed lots of pictures before I left for the weekend so that I could bring them with me.
I had a whole bag of stuff that I had saved from the trip and I was excited to realize that I had already sorted it all by each day of our trip. It was a great trip that started in Las Vegas and we circled through Utah and a bunch of National Parks, across Lake Powell, to the Grand Canyon, across the Hoover Dam and back to Las Vegas. Something different almost every day and I had all my notes and everything saved in my bag.
And don’t forget today is the last day to join STAMPIN’ UP! for only $25!
I have an email going out along with a class reminder for this week – but email service seems to be having an issue getting it out. I am going to set up a duplicate email – so if you get it twice – I’m sorry but since this is the last day I want to make sure everyone sees it. Join my Stampin’ Up! team for $25 – today is the last day. Visit my website – www.monika.stampinup.net and click on JOIN THE FUN. From there you can sign up online and your starter kit will be on its way and you can start placing orders!
