Paper Pumpkin Possibilities November Blog Hop Warm Wishes

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities November Blog Hop as we showcase the Warm Wishes Kit. Our wonderful Design Team is excited to share their alternative projects and ideas to help inspire you to think outside the box and create your own beautiful projects. This beautiful holiday themed kit is filled with so many possibilities and I hope you will enjoy our blog hop this month.

I have been feeling under the weather this week, so I wanted to share a quick and easy project using the exclusive stamp set from this kit, to show that you don't need a lot of supplies or a lot of time to create fun alternative projects for the holidays. Gift Tags are always in demand at our house at this time of year, so I like to make up a batch of clean and simple designs that we can use as needed. Today's tags feature Shaded Spruce, Cherry Cobbler and Blueberry Bushel cardstock and I die cut the tags using the Tailor Made Tags Dies. To step them up a bit, I heat embossed the image and sentiment and added some trim to finish them off. I love how the embossing pops against the different colored cardstock. Which one is your favorite?

For the Shaded Spruce Tag, I used Silver embossing powder to heat emboss the door image and sentiment and added some Silver Trim for the hanger. I love how Silver looks with Shaded Spruce, which is one of my favorite Christmas greens.

Cherry Cobbler is my favorite Christmas red, especially for elegant, vintage style projects. I paired this tag with Gold embossing and Gold Trim for the hanger. It's amazing how a little embossing can transform a simple tag.

For my last tag, I chose to use Blueberry Bushel cardstock with White embossing for the sentiment and image. I love the icy Winter theme of this color combination and the Silver Trim helps step it up. Blueberry Bushel is a wonderful blue for Christmas and I am so happy we have it back in our core collection.

Ink. Stamp. Share Christmas Packaging Blog Hop

Welcome to November's Ink. Stamp. Share Christmas Packaging Blog Hop. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world as they share their fun and creative packaging ideas to help inspire you. You may have just visited Jo's blog or perhaps you are starting with me. I hope that our projects will help provide you with a wealth of ideas for the holidays.

I love creating gift tags as a fun way to decorate and personalize a gift. These gift tags were created using the Snowflake Showcase products that are only available in November while supplies last. I chose to use Merry Merlot and Shaded Spruce cardstock for my color palette and used the Gold Glimmer paper from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog to create the beautiful snowflakes with the Snowfall Thinlets dies.

These tags are fun to create from you scraps of cardstock and the tag itself is created from a piece of 2" x 3 3/4" cardstock that I have punched using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (item #133324). The strip of cardstock at the bottom is a 3/4" x 2" piece of the alternate color and the circle of cardstock behind the snowflakes were punched using the 1 3/4" Circle Punch (item #119850).

The background of the tag has been embossed using the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item #139672) to add a little texture to the cardstock. The sentiment is from the Snow is Glistening stamp set (item #149742) and I heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock and punch it out using the Classic Label punch (item #141491). To finish off the tags I added Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling and the 3/16" Braided Linen Trim (item #147808) for the ties at the top.

Gift tags are a wonderful way to get creative and use up your scraps. Each tag can be unique and you can coordinate them with the colors and designs of the wrapping paper for an extra touch. With the products in the Snowflake Showcase, you can create endless designs quickly and simply.
