My post today is dual purpose. First my, oh so happy, announcement. I am now part of the wonderful Design Team family for Paper Sweeties. I'm so enamored of the Paper Sweeties products from Owner/Designer/Illustrator Debbie Marcinkiewicz. The stamps and dies are high quality and made in the U.S.A. They also have a fabulous price point and are on trend. If you haven't checked out this line of creative stamps and dies, you can find them HERE.
Secondly, post today is part of a wonderful Christmas tag exhibition over on Facebook called the 25 Days of Christmas Tags by Tracey Mehak McNeely from In My Creative Opinion. This is a fabulous way to see lots of designs by Design Team members of many craft industry companies. I know you'll want to check out all the amazing inspiration.
For my tag project I made a set of tags using the Paper Sweeties Snow Time Bundle and the Paper Sweeties Ho Ho Ho Bundle. I started by cutting my base for the tags from the snow globe in the Snow Time stamp and die set. I wanted my tags to have a little stability to them so I cut two globes for each tag from heavy weight card stock then glued them together. Next I stamped, colored (with Copics) and die cut my images for each tag. The Christmas tree, snowman and present are from the Snow Time set. The Gingerbread, tree with lights, candle and bird with sentiment are from the Ho Ho Ho set. Then I stamped the sentiment (A Gift For You) onto kraft cardstock and added them to the bottom of the snow globe. To finish the tags off I punched a small hole at the top of each tag and added some red and white twine.
