Stampin’ Up! Merry Little Labels Box of Tags!

Posted on November 3, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I finally had a chance to do some serious stamping yesterday! yay! My mojo had taken a vacation for a few days, which is NOT helpful at all, but when that happens I just start cutting paper for a future class or stamp up leftover kits from a past class and it usually returns pretty quickly!

I was needing some mojo badly because my projects for the November Creative Crew over on Splitcoaststampers was due, like literally yesterday; actually November 1st! I was able to finish all of my challenge projects and uploaded them all to the gallery last night. Whew!

Today I want to share with you a box of tags I created for the Creative Crew Sketch Challenge. We were to create our project using this sketch of a bunch of tags:

With so many choices it was hard to decide! I finally decided to start with a box to hold a group of tags. I used this Mini File Box tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. I used Merry Little Labels stamps, Everyday Label Punch, Crumb Cake, Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper, Silver Glimmer Paper, the Envelope Punch Board, and a Brights Enamel Shape (Real Red) to create this:

This little Mini File Box is absolutely adorable! I used this one for tags, but you could put a candy bar or a host of other things in it too!

After I decided t use the black & white plaid print from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper package, the whole thing came together really quickly. After I stamped "just for you" from Merry Little Labels with Basic Black ink on Whisper White card stock, I punched with the Everyday Label Punch. I punched a second label from Basic Black card stock, cut it in half, and attached the ends to the top and bottom of the greeting label using SNAIL adhesive. The belly band was created from 7 1/2 inches of Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper. I cut a snowflake from Silver Glimmer Paper with a Seasonal Layers Thinlet Die. I adhered the greeting with dimensionals and the snowflake with a glue dot. I added a Brights Enamel Shape (heart) in the center of the snowflake to cover up the stickiness in the center from the glue dot.

That's all for now. I'll share the stack of tags I made to go with the box tomorrow! Sorry/not sorry to make you wait! lol!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop December Edition Punch Art!

Posted on December 14, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Busy, busy December! Parties, craft fairs, school programs, church musicals, shopping, wrapping, decorating, baking!

Take a break from Christmas chaos! Take the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop December Edition, Punch Art!

I created my tag with the Fox Builder Punch, Jolly Hat Builder Punch (retiring January 3rd but ON SALE 40% off in Year-End Closeouts!), and A Little Foxy Designer Series Paper Stack to match a cute magnetic notepad found at my local dollar store:

I used Basic Black, Whisper White, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper to pull it all together.

After stamping with the Foxy Friends fox image three times with Calypso Coral ink I punched out each piece with the Fox Builder Punch, assembling with glue dots and dimensionals.

I cut the greeting from Stitched With Cheer with a Stitched Shapes Framelit, available again on January 19th.

I punched to top with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and tied with Silver 5/8" Satin Ribbon.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Tea!

Posted on November 23, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's project is perfect for all of the little inexpensive gifts to show appreciation. I used Warmth & Cheer Designer Paper, Labeler Alphabet, Perfect Pines Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Gold Glimmer Paper, and various ribbons:

I found this idea on UK Demonstrator, Caroline Helwigh Wright's blog, Crafty Caroline Creates. She has a video tutorial! If you live in the USA, I would appreciate you coming back to my online store to order: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

First, Crumb Cake is the square behind the tree:

I used the Labeler Alphabet to stamp "CHRISTMAS TEA". trimming down the edges of the letters to space closer together. I used about 7 inches of Real Red 3/4" Stitched Edged Ribbon for the belly band, adhering together with liquid glue.

The Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack has 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. TONS of options!

For this one I used Emerald Envy 3/8" Silky Taffeta ribbon, layered on Delightful Dijon 5/8" Mini Striped Ribbon. I cut the tree from Emerald Envy and the square from Delightful Dijon.

No matter the paper or color of the tree, this little gift holder is adorable!

Inside the envelope I added a 2/58" x 3 5/8" card stamped with Merriest Wishes. The envelope and the rounded corners are all made with the Envelope Punch Board!

Punching with the Classic Label Punch makes the perfect little notch to set the tree on your mug!
