Dec 16, 2013 | Christmas, class, Holiday Catalog 2013 |
This really doesn’t have anything to do with the 7 dwarfs – but that is what keeps going through my head – Sleepy, Grumpy, Sneezy, Dopey, Weepy – but that is how i have been feeling the last few days and I need to find Doc so I can be Happy – well I sort of made up Weepy – #7 is really Bashful which just didn’t fit into my feelings right now. Anyway I’m sick. My best friend right now is a box of tissues – well several – one in every room. And I have been very unproductive! Which is not good right now since there is much still to do before Christmas gets here. Ugh….
Here is a project for you. On Friday morning I did have my Tags & Treats class which was a lot of fun. And I wasn’t feeling to terribly bad at that point. This is one of the projects we made – it’s the Festive Flurry Ornament Kit – the kit comes with everything you need except a hot glue gun to make 10 of these beautiful snowflakes. I used one as a tag on a white gift bag – it was perfect!
the pieces in the kit are already printed, die-cut and scored. Even the Silver Glitter piece is pre-scored. So you just do all the folding and put it together with a hot glue gun and your good to go. If you didn’t want to order the kit you could create the same thing using the Festive Flurry Stamp set and Framelit bundle – it would just take you much longer to get it all stamped, cut, scored and folded but it can be done.
Have a nice day and I hope all the dwarf thoughts leave my head by tomorrow.

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.

Dec 9, 2013 | Christmas, Envelope Punch Board, Stamp, Scrap, & Create Retreat, Washi Tape |
I made these cute Vellum Envelope Pouch as one of the surprises for the girls that attended the Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat a couple of months ago.
I put Washi Tape inside for everyone but it would fit small candy treats for the holidays too. This is how I made it.
- I used the new Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board (love it) – if you take the item you want to put inside and measure that to get your size – then look on the Punch Board to see what size to cut your piece of Vellum Card Stock. Then place it on the board on the score measurement, punch, score, turn, etc. Until you get your envelope.
- Corner round the four corners and fold on the score lines.
- I used the Season of Style Washi Tape to hold the bottom of the envelope sides to the bottom.
- Cut a piece of the Cherry Cobbler ribbon, fold in half and attach to the top flap of the envelope – I actually stapled mine on.
- I used the Label Love stamp set and coordinating Artisan Punch to create the little label. stamp twice – once in Old Olive and once in Cherry Cobbler. Punch them out and then trim the Cherry Cobbler piece to be just the banner with the words. Use a stampin’ dimensional to attach to the Old Olive piece and then add to the pouch over the end of the ribbon.
- I added a little Rhinestone for a bit of bling.
It didn’t take long to make a dozen of these. It would make a cute little holiday treat for a teacher.
