Decorate a plain bag with a cute tag like I did here. It’s Tuesday so I thought I’d share a tag idea – it’s Tag Tuesday right? Oh wait maybe that’s just me being silly.
I use the Card Front Builder Thinlits again. I just love the trees and the little deer. But they are retiring so be sure to order them before they are gone!
I layered them on some Lots of Labels cut pieces. Tie on to the bag with ribbon. And I added twine as well. The greeting stamp came from one of the Paper Pumpkin Kits.
SHOP HERE FOR THE DIES – the year end sales event is going on now.
Have a great day.

Last Friday I was scheduled to have a Wrap Up the Holidays class but mother nature didn’t like that idea. Instead we had snow! Which is not normal for us – I live in Georgia – we average maybe 1-2″ of snow in a whole year and that’s usually in Jan/Feb time frame – occasionally in March. Rarely in December. But this weekend we got about 8″ of snow at my house! So since my class was cancelled I decided to be brave and do a FB Live on my Stamping Together At Monika’s Place Facebook page instead. It was my first real one on my page where I showed a project. You can visit my page to watch it if you haven’t already.
Here is the project that I made.
It’s a set of tags featuring the Card Front Builder Thinlits dies and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack. I also made a little box to hold the tags.
You can get written instructions here – Tree Tags and Box

This Santa’s Suit stamp set is so cute! The Photopolymer set has all the different pieces to create fun cards and a coordinating die set called Santa Builder Framelits.
It stamps so nicely. I did the outline of all the images in black and then stamped the filler images mostly in Real Red. The suspenders are colored in with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker and so is his belt buckle and the clothes pins. There are stamps to fill in the suspenders and the clothes pins but we were already using up all my little blocks so I thought the markers worked just as easily.
I also used the Powder Pink Stampin’ Write Marker to color in his heads, hands, and feet.
On the inside of the card I added his boots. On this one I also have mittens on the inside. But on the others that I made I included those on the front clothes line. When I made this card I spaced the front too far apart and they wouldn’t fit.
The tag is part of the Framelits dies. And I tied it on with a piece of the Real Red 1/8″ Solid Ribbon. The red striped Designer Paper is from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper pack.
The Santa’s Suit stamp set, Santa Builder Framelits Dies, the Santa’s Suit Bundle and the Christmas Around the World Designer Series paper will all be retiring after this Holiday catalog ends. Be sure to order them now before they are gone.
This card was part of my Stamp a Stack class last month. Everyone in my class made a set of 5 of these cards.

I hope you were able to get in your reservation for the Stamparatus – our new stamp positioning tool coming out in 2018. If you need help let me know. It’s going to be great to use when you need to make multiples of a card. For example a Stamp-a-Stack class would be a perfect setting for a tool like this. I’ve been sharing some of my cards from my Christmas Card stamp-a-stack classes and I have another one to show you today.
This one was my take on a card created by my friend Connie Collins. She is so talented and will be part of the 2018 Artisan Design Team for Stampin’ Up! I can’t wait to see what she creates with our new products in 2018.
For my card I used a Crumb Cake card base and then a couple of layers of the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series paper. I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits for the circle that I stamped my greeting on. The stamp set is Watercolor Wishes – I do believe it was my most used stamp set this season. The big words really worked on so many of my cards. The white circle and the white music print were both sponged with Crumb Cake ink. I finished with Linen Thread and a snowflake die cut out of the Champagne Foil using the large snowflake from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies.
Everyone in my class made a set of 5 of these cards.

Are you ready for Christmas? I’m not. We are in the middle of doing some redecorating – replacing furniture which now includes painting all the walls and replacing the baseboards in the main floor of the house. So I haven’t even pulled out any Christmas stuff. Instead I’m trying to find a place to put the stuff that was in/on the furniture I’m getting rid of until the new stuff comes – hopefully before Christmas (but maybe not). On my card today this little dog is ready for Christmas!
This is the Ready for Christmas bundle in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog. It’s the fun staircase stamp set and coordinating thinlits dies. Right now you can still purchase as a bundle and save 10%. In the new year these two will still be available but not as a bundle – only as individual items.
On this card I’ve also used one of the Stampin’ Blends – Bronze color – to color in the little dog. Oh my he looks so good! It was just the perfect color for him and for the Chocolate Chip Cookies.
The plate and sweater are colored in with Stampin’ Write Markers because the colors I wanted to use don’t come in the Stampin’ Blends. I did hear that we will be adding more colors in the future!
The little table is stamped on the Wood Textures Designer Paper Stack – since there is all different sheets with different types of wood you could pick what you want for your table. Then I used the die set to cut it out, and the dog and the cookies.
The Holly Embossing folder was perfect for the background – don’t miss it – it’s in the annual catalog. And the rug is a strip from the Quilted Christmas Designer Paper Stack.
On the inside of the card (and also on the envelope) I stamped a portion of the Christmas Tree.
This card was part of my November Christmas Stamp-a-stack class. Everyone that came made 5 of these during the class.

Don’t miss the Year-End Sales Event going on now. We are saying good-bye to retiring products from the Holiday catalog. Because once January arrives it will be time for brand new stuff in our Occasions Catalog.
Thanks for stopping by today.
