Tags Tags Tags bundle

Hi Friends!
Just like that, it's Friday!  This week was strange with all our snow but the sun is out today and I can almost pretend it is fall again. This is a great time of year for people who love to craft and specifically stamp. The upcoming holidays provide a lot of inspiration and especially as you think about gatherings with friends and family. It's always fun to provide a little treat, table decor or party favor that perfectly showcases your hobby and blesses the guests at the same time.

There's a new bundle in the 2019 Holiday Catalog that just made all of this easier!  It's called "Tags Tags Tags" and it's a unique stamp and die  set that create three seasonal tags all at once. One stamp covers Halloween, the second covers Christmas and the third covers Valentine's Day. I needed some tags for a Halloween class I'm doing next week and then decided it would be fun to play with the rest of the set and make some samples to showcase what these stamps can do. It's so easy to stamp once and die cut once and have 3 tags just like that!

For my first go, I made all tags. I used some "Monster Bash" Designer Series Paper for my backgrounds and kept it pretty simple.  Tags are an awesome way to use up some left over DSP and ribbon. Who doesn't have yards of leftover ribbon?!!

For my Christmas and Valentine's samples, I chose to showcase some of our packaging options that are available in the annual catalog. There are the awesome pizza boxes (which also come in gold foil), the clear 2" x 2" acetate treat boxes and the kraft paper pillow boxes. All are easy to assemble with no adhesives required and easy to fill with anything that fits. I used some ribbon in my Christmas box just to make it colorful as a sample! Aren't the tags cute?  My favorite ones are the Christmas ones.

Here are the Valentine examples. These are quite easy to make and you don't have to look far in your stash o' stuff to find bits and pieces of ribbon, paper, sequins, etc to decorate your box with.

Here's a peek at the bundle so you can see how all three seasonal stamps are die cut at once, after being stamped.



There are also some companion dies to cut little hearts, pumpkins and snowflakes for some extra decoration.  This is a very reasonably priced bundle at only $33.25 (#150667) and it will provide years of fun, every time these holidays roll around!

This time of year is a great time to gather some friends and have a Ladies Night out with some snacks, beverages and stamping!  I have lots of ideas of ways to do this with our kits and other supplies. The set I shared today could even be incorporated into a tag making class that would supply everyone with lots of tags for future use. Contact me for some ideas. We can put together a fun event that doesn't require a lot of prep or cost.  I'm sure you've seen or participated in some of the popular "Sip N Paint" classes around the country. Why not have a "Sip N Stamp" ??  It can be more affordable with just as much fun and not as intimidating to those who haven't every stamped before as a paint class might be to a novice painter.  In fact, I'm hosting one at my house next week, Thursday night. I plan to use some simple projects including these tags as well as some card kits and more. See my calendar for details (on the right) if you live in my area.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Did you know it's an option to "follow" my blog and then never miss a post?  You can do that on the right side bar as well. I would love to be your creative coach and stampin' guru!  Contact me today and we will get you started on a fun, adventurous journey that will provide hours of enjoyment.

Happy Stampin'!
