Howdy, crafty friends. I’m back today with a fun Valentine’s Day treat… I’ve made lip balm valentine tags in the past. You can see them HERE. They were such a hit so I made another for a helper at my son’s school. I started by die-cutting THIS die in the center of a tag. I did some ink blending using THIS and THIS ink. I stamped THIS background stamp on top. I stamped, colored,...
Hi, crafty friends. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I wanted to share what I made for a few staff members at my son’s school… These are decorated letter sized envelopes. I’ve had these in my stash for some time but you could even use a regular white envelope. The size is good to hold a XL candy bar. To decorate the envelopes, I used THIS stencil and applied THIS and THIS...
Hello, crafty friends. I have a last minute gift idea that is perfect for teachers and neighbors… I’ve seen a similar idea on the internet where you give a roll of tape and a roll of gift wrap, but I wanted to make a gift wrap kit for Aiden’s teacher as part of her Christmas gift. The items I put inside the kit were… 10 handmade Christmas tags 1 pair of retractable scissors 2...
Hi there, crafty friends. I’m back today to share a Christmas tag that holds a gift card… I die-cut THIS tag twice and die-cut the center with THIS rectangle die (from the coordinating die set). I backed it with another solid tag and white heat embossed a sentiment from THIS stamp set. From that same stamp set, I stamped, colored, and cut out the images. I adhered them to a blue piece of card...

I started by stamping one of THESE white tags with THIS background using THIS ink. I applied the same ink over top using an ink blending tool and flicked on water droplets with THIS. After it was dry, I cut THIS die from the center of...
Hello, crafty friends. I’m sharing three projects today all featuring new products just released from Picket Fence Studios. The new release is FABULOUS! The first card uses THIS new stamp set… I stamped the solid line image repeatedly to create a background using a variety of Distress Oxide Inks. I stamped the sentiment along the bottom. I die-cut THIS circle from the center and THIS rectangle die to create a border. I stamped, colored...
Hi, crafty friends. Today’s project features THIS new stamp set and THIS new die from THIS new release from Simon Says Stamp. It’s called Critter Sweaters and I decided to make a couple of Christmas gift tags… For the bear tag… I cut THIS coordinating bear die twice from kraft card stock and once from white card stock. On the white piece, I stamped a bunch of the line designs to create a sweater...
Hi, crafty friends. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I thought I’d share what I created for the teachers at my son’s school. I use any Holiday as an excuse to spoil them. 🙂 I shared a similar idea HERE last year and they were a hit. This year, I added a few different things to the basket as well as the tags… I’m currently obsessed with THIS stitching tag from My Favorite Things. I like...
Hi, crafty friends. Have you seen the new Love Release from Simon Says Stamp!? You can see it HERE. I’m sharing three simple Valentine’s Day tags (using some of the new products) that would make a great gift topper or even wrap around some chocolate to give as a gift… The new picture book dies were the perfect scale for tags. I die-cut a bunch of luggage tags out of white cardstock. The die...
