Quick and Easy Holiday Tags with Wrapped in Plaid Suite

Hello, my crafty friends. Hope your holidays are exactly as you dreamed!! My final blog of the year (and we are running behind schedule!!) is in conjunction with last week's Paper Crafting Blog Hop and completes my holiday gift tags.

As I reported last week, my favorite product from the 2019 Holiday Catalog was the Wrapped in Plaid Suite. I love the Pine Tree Punch and the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty Designer Series Paper. And you can probably tell that some of these could easily be made with scraps from your previous projects! I did not know that I could be so thrifty!

Merry Christmas to All, Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set, Pine Tree Punch #ilovepapercrafts

All of my tags are 2" wide Whisper White and DSP strips and feature the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. The tags are super quick and easy. And you cannot go wrong with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. So fun! ("To" and "From" stamp on the reverse, not shown, is from the November Paper Pumpkin.)

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my holiday gift tags. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations. Merry Christmas!!

Stamp On!!

December Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the December Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sandra Roberts' blog. Welcome one and all.

There was so much to choose from in the Holiday Catalog this year. Right? My favorite was the Wrapped in Plaid Suite. Many of my blogs over the last several weeks have featured cards with products from this suite. I love the Pine Tree Punch and the Wrapped in Plaid 6x6 Specialty Designer Series Paper. And the price point was spot on! My gift-wrapping projects today include the Mini Pizza Boxes and the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.

(Here is a sneak peek of my holiday card too!) The 3x3 Mini Pizza Boxes will hold one of your large, homemade cookies, or a set of your 3x3 homemade cards, or even a merchant gift card fits perfectly. This year there are GOLD Mini Pizza Boxes! How about that. These boxes will make your gift giving this holiday season super easy.

Now, using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, I also made gift tags with this Suite. The tags are super quick and easy. And you cannot go wrong with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. My favorite ribbon from the Holiday Catalog is the Curly Ribbon from the Let It Snow Suite. It is so fun!

Easy Handmade Holiday Card Using Stampin' Up! Pine Tree Punch and Merry Christmas Dies

Hello, my crafty friends. It is the first Wednesday of December and today I am featuring the last in my series of holiday cards to help inspire your holiday card creations. In the States, the post office recommends mailing packages by December 14, however, you have another week, December 20, to get those cards in the mail. Whew!! Today's holiday card features the Pine Tree Punch and Merry Christmas Dies.
The base is Crumb Cake Cardstock and one layer build of Night of Navy Cardstock (5.25" x 4"). The embellishment build is a shaker built on a 3.25 square of Night of Navy. Wrapped in Plaid Specialty DSP is the paper tree using the Pine Tree Punch. The snow hill is embossed using the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder, hand cut, and highlighted with Wink of Stella (very, very hard to see in this photo, and sorry about the glare). Using 2-3 pinches of the Snowflake sequins, capture them behind a piece of the Window Sheet outlined with a Scallop Square Die/Square Die from the Layer Squares Die collection.

In place of holiday sentiments using White Stampin' Embossing Power and Versamark (our workshop was held at the local bakery), I die cut the sentiment using the Merry Christmas dies.  A cute little bow using the Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine to tone down the white.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my quick and easy holiday shaker card using the Pine Tree Punch and Merry Christmas Dies. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations.
