Day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags!

Good evening friends! How are you today?  Are you ready to see Day 2 Christmas Tag?  I promised that each and every day the tag would be completely different.  You're going to love them all and I can't wait til the end so you can let me know which is your favorite! 

Today's tag uses one of my favorite Holiday bundles.  This one debuted in last year's Holiday catalog and thankfully carried over into Stampin' Up's 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. So you can get it now!  The Perfectly Plaid stamp set and Pine Tree Punch are a wonderful bundle to have on hand for winter and holiday projects.  You can find other projects I've made with this bundle by searching "PERFECTLY PLAID" in my blog search.  

As you can see, we've taken on a more traditional approach with today's gift tag.  It's large enough for a sweet little note on the back, too!  I love the Classic Christmas feel of this one. 

I used a 2 1/2" x 4 3/4" piece of Early Espresso Cardstock as the base and cut the top two corners by hand.  Then layered a 2 3/8" x 4 5/8" piece of Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper and trimmed the top two corners of that as well.  And finally, layered a 2 1/8" x 4 3/8" piece of Whisper White Cardstock to the front and trimmed the top two corners of it also. 

That beautiful Merry Christmas is stamped in Cherry Cobbler, while the tree itself is stamped in Shaded Spruce and the truck stamped in Early Espresso ink.  The punch makes it easy to get the shape cut out and I just cut the image directly from the white layer before I glued it down.  Then, I used dimensionals to layer it back over/into the punched out space. 

A few little red rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Jewels set finishes it off nicely, I think!

Well, what do you think?  Pretty right?  

Join me tomorrow at 1pm est in The Stampin' Chic Facebook Group as I create Day 3 LIVE!

Mini Holiday Coffee Cup Holder

Well HELLO THERE!! :-D  Today's post is a super adorable little treat holder for the coffee lover in your life, or well, for just about anyone! I think they're the cutest things EVER!

This project features the Wrapped in Plaid product Suite.  I used the Perfectly Plaid Stamp set for the Merry Christmas sentiment as well as the beautiful Gold embossed tree on the front. 

All in all, it's a really quick and simple project too!  Here's the template for the holder itself:

I cut the Designer Series Paper (DSP) as follows:
* 2 3/8" x 3 1/2"
* 2 3/8" x 2 3/8"
* 2 3/8" x 5/8"

If you use the 6x6" Wrapped in Plaid dsp, I show you in the video how to cut it for the cup.  This leaves a little gap in the back.  I used a piece of coordinating cardstock cut at 1 3/4" x 2 7/16" to cover that gap.

I used the 1 1/2" circle punch on the area indicated with the black circle. This gives you the topper for your coffee cup.  I went back over that same space with the 2" punch to make the hole big enough for the cup.  Of course, that's not what I did in the video. lol.  But that's what I did in the first place. And that's what you'll wanna do to make it easier. haha!

I've done a YouTube video to show you how to make the cup and holder. If you're not already a subscriber, please visit my channel and "SUBSCRIBE".

I hope you like this little project as much as I do! Enjoy!

Until Next Time,
Happy Crafting!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Hello my friends! How are you today?  I hope this finds you having a fantastic Wednesday.  I have an absolutely ADORABLE little Holiday gift tag for you today.  It's cased from Page 12 of the 2019 Holiday Catalog and it's just as cute as it can be!

I absolutely LOVE the mini envelope that goes along with the tag.  The Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper is so incredibly versatile and the thin Gold lines in the plaid are gorgeous!

To make the envelope, you'll need a 6x6" piece of DSP. You'll score 1" from the left side and 1 3/4" from the right edge.  Then score 13/4" on each of the opposite two sides.

Then, you'll cut away the four corners as you see here.  I also mitered the top and bottom flap as you can see in the photo. It's ever so slight, but helps the envelope to look more "finished".

Next, I cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock 2 1/4" x 7" and scored on the long side at 3 1/2". This is the Tag base.   The one in the catalog is done more like book style, with the fold to the left, but I like it to open this way. :-)

 Now that the card base is ready, you'll need to cut another piece of Cherry Cobble Cardstock and use the Stitched Rectangle dies to cut that layer. It should measure slightly smaller than 2 1/4" x 3 1/2".

I used the Pine Tree Punch and some more of that fabulous patterned paper to cut a layering element for my card.  I also heat embossed one of the tree designs in white on a piece of Shade Spruce Cardstock. Then punched it out with the Tree Punch.

The Whisper White Sentiment piece was 3/8" x 1 1/4" and the Glimmer Gold pictured below it is 1 1/2" x 1/4".

There are 2 - 1/2" circles cut out of cherry cobbler for the fasteners on the envelope.  I used the brads with those to make them look fantastic!

I always preach "NO NAKED INSIDES OR ENVELOPES", and this is no exception! I used the shaded spruce and stamped off the inside layer just slightly. I really like the way it looks!

This little gift card was super cute to make! I suppose it's time for me to start working on all of my holiday tags! Thanksgiving is a week from tomorrow and then Christmas is just around the corner! ACK!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today my friends! I hope you enjoyed today's project!

Have a fantastic day!

Until Next Time,
Happy Crafting!
