Final Countdown for the Holiday Catalog

We are counting down the final days of the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog.  Many items will be gone once this catalog ends – some are on sale, some have already sold out, don’t miss out on something you wished you had.  I wanted to share a few more projects with you and some of the products in the Holiday catalog.

Starting with this card that was part of one of my Holiday Stamp a Stack classes this year.  It was a card idea shared by Erica Cerwin which I changed slightly.  You could use any color with it – I decided on Delightful Dijon for mine.  And it features the wood Snowflake Elements which are retiring from the Holiday Catalog!

Snowman Jar filled with tags

I saw a snowman jar filled with peppermints somewhere – either Facebook or Pinterest. It was simple with a black hat and scarf on a jar.  I decided I wanted to create one and fill it with tags.  So now what to do for the tags – I had a stack of 1″ Whisper White strips of card stock on my craft table left from another project – well my stamp a stack class so I had a bunch.  I decided to use those and make some abstract snowman tags.

Everyone in my Wrapping up the Holidays class got to make one of these jars and a dozen of the tags.

The hat on the jar is made with the Circle Framelits – a brim and a top and then a strip to wrap around for the side of the hat.  I decided to put a hinge on the top of my hat so that you could just lift it up and pull out the tags without unscrewing the lid.

The tags are my favorite part and so simple.  I stamped the three dots from the Snow Place stamp set.  I guess they are 3 little lumps of coal.  I cut the hats from the framelits and just punched a little hole in the top.  I strung the hat on the baker’s twine and then through the tag.  The hat swings.  To finish tie a piece of ribbon around the tag and stamp the back with to/from.

Cute and quick and simple.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I still need to wrap presents for Christmas and I have yet to mail out any Christmas cards – yikes!  Maybe Christmas Eve will be the day they go out.  That is pretty much the norm for me though.

Home for Christmas Santa Tags

The Home for Christmas Designer Paper from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog had a fun print filled with Santa’s.  I used  most of mine by cutting the Santa’s out and adding them to projects.  This is a quick tag that I created.

Each of the different Santa’s give the tags a variety of looks.  I fussy cut them out and added them with Stampin’ Dimensionals to my tag.

Cut the label with the Big Shot, add a strip of Designer paper across the bottom, stamp the top and then put Santa on with dimensionals.  Punch a little hole and add some Baker’s Twine.

These will be perfect on some gifts as I finish wrapping!

Thanks for visiting.

Vellum Peace Tag

Another tag idea for you.  I love the layered vellum on this tag.  I used those same framelits again too – it’s just such a nice size for a tag.  The photo is just from my phone in my stamp room – so you can see a bit of my messy desk.  Honestly if you waited on me to get a good photo you may never get to see this.  The next 14 days we are supposed to get rain – right through Christmas and New Year – yuck.  Anyway I’m just going with the photos that I have.

vellum-tag

I cut two labels the same size one out of White card stock and one from the Vellum.  I did my stamping on the white which is underneath.  I pierced the vellum using the piercing template, pad and piercing tool.  The front of the vellum is decorated with the die cut silver foil – Peace – some silver thread and a little word window punched with “& joy” stamped on it.

I bought some white and silver wrapping paper to use these on.  I think I also have some that is silver and blue with snowmen – I think they would work with that too.

Yes this year I made tags and then went in search of wrapping paper to match.  I probably should do it the other way around.

Have a nice day.  I need to get on with my day.
