March Stampin' For Christmas Blog Hop

Good morning friends! It's time to share the monthly Stampin' for Christmas themed projects! Today, I'm not sharing a card. Instead, I've got a sweet gift tag to share.

I think it would be perfect to tie onto a hostess gift for a holiday party. Don't you think?

To create this tag, begin with a piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock measuring 4 3/4" x 2 1/2". Cut both corners off of one end of the tag. On the other end, use a corner rounder on both corners.

For the soft background, I used the snowflake cluster stamp and VersaMark ink. I stamped it all over the background. This made the tag look more interesting and less plain.

I used a handheld hole punch to cut the tag hole. Then strung an approx 8" length of White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and approx 8" of Silver Metallic Edge White Ribbon together through the hole. Trim the ends to give a clean looking finish.

I stamped one of the large snowflakes in Pacific Point Ink, and stamped "Thank You Snow Much" in Misty Moonlight Ink on the Basic White layered circle.

I used the 2nd smallest dies for the sentiment pieces, and attached them together with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The White Snowflake is cut from a foam adhesive sheet with Basic White Cardstock on the front. Adhesive sheets are a MUST if you plan to die cut intricate pieces. It makes adhering them to your projects, very nice! Plus, these foam adhesive sheets are like having a dimensional on the whole back of the snowflake.

I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels and tied approx 10" of Misty Moonlight/Silver/White Baker's Twine around the ribbons.

I can see this tag tied onto a beautiful fruit basket or a bottle of wine. :-) A terrific way to say "Thanks for having us over"!

Stampin' For Christmas February Blog Hop

Ya know how we typically wait til just a couple weeks before we hope to get our Holiday Cards out to get started on them? Well, there's a Blog Hop to help us change all that! On the first Saturday of each month we share more Christmas Card ideas for you to do. Join me and create a few of your favorites to have a nice collection ready to go at Christmas time! YAY!

I have always loved the Snowman Season Stamp Set. I was thrilled to find that it was carrying over from the 2019 Holiday Catalog to the 2020 Annual Catalog. It's a really adorable group of snowfolks.

I'm not using the coordinating Snowman Builder Punch on my project today, but you can see how cute it is!

Instead, I chose to create a subtle background using the snowflakes cluster stamp all over the 5 1/4" x 4" Pool Party Cardstock Layer. I also added a 5 1/4" x 4" Vellum overlay and attached it by stitching around the border with my sewing machine. I've only done this technique a couple of times but I absolutely LOVE IT! So much fun! hehe. I tied it with the Pool Party Ribbon from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack. The Blue Adhesive Backed Gems from the 2020 Holiday Mini Catalog are carrying over (YAY!) so I thought I'd use some of them too! They're so pretty!

This card is pretty simple and really doesn't take long to do. It would be a perfect assembly line card!
