Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop!
If you are in the U.S.A, Happy Thanksgiving!! Yesterday, we stuffed ourselves until we couldn’t move and had to unbutton our pants, lol. (Did you?) And today we are at our end of this years Blog Hop! It’s always a sad day, but even it went into December, I would be too busy to contribute!
This month’s Blog Hop is all about tags, bags and boxes, just in time for all the December Holidays where most of us will be giving lots of gifts. I can’t wait to share with you the Pop-In Zoom Class I just had on this exact topic. The class was called Tags & More and we made 4 different giftcard holders and 10 tags using to of the Christmas Tag kits available through Stampin’ Up!
So…if you are following along the hop, you have arrived from Maureen’s Blog. Be sure to read through my Blog, comment below and continue to Jo’s Blog. If you get lost along the way, no worries, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each Blog. ENJOY!
MATERIALS USED – Giftcard Holders
Kit: Love, Santa Tag Kit | 158375 | $22.00
Cardbase: Basic White 7” x 5”
DSP Layer: 3.5” x 5”
Envelope: 2 5/8” x 3 5/8”
Cardstock Layer: 2 5/8” x 3 1/4”
Tools/Accessories: Baker Twine and Ribbon, Rhinestones, etc
Ink: Polished Pink, Bumblebee, Just Jade, Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Momento Black
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Adhere the 3.5” x 5” DSP to the cardbase front.
2. Trim the long edge of the envelopes to 3 1/4” and seal them. This will be the pocket for the giftcard.
3. You can run them through with an embossing folder (see GC 1 and 3) or cover with cardstock (see GC 2). Adhere to card front.
4. Place tag piece over the envelope and accessorize.
5. For image 4, I cut a slit towards the top of the tag. I then used strips of foam tape around the edge of the tag and adhered it to the cardbase. This enables the tag to pop off the card front and a giftcard can slide through the slit but not fall out the sides or bottom. For this card I also used gold accent pieces that did not come from the kit but it is/was a Stampin’ UP! product.
MATERIALS USED – Tags
Kit: Festive Tags Kit | 162485 | $13.00
Ink: Polished Pink, Lost Lagoon, Just Jade, Real Red, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Night of Navy
Dies: Celebrate with Tags and Bonanza Dies
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. These tags are designed to have three layers. To show you how to extend these amazing kits and get a better bang for your buck, I separated most of the two base layers. I then created the second layer out of coordinating cardstock, velum and DSP.
2. Here are all the tags I created. There are a total of 10 different tags. So, with this kit and some cardstock or DSP you have laying around, you can triple the kit and make 30 tags!!! You do not need to buy new things achieve this, any holiday stamp set, and paper will do!
3. The following images, show the pieces that each tag used.
So, this ends our Blog Hop for the year! Get ready for new and exciting things to come in 2024! And of course thanks for taking this Blog Hop journey with me!
