I love the kits that Stampin’ Up! ® includes in its range of products. They are perfect if you don’t have lots of paper crafting supplies because everything you need is in the box (other than a pair of scissors). I also like them because they make great gifts to give to friends and family.
This kit – Love, Santa Tag Kit – has the supplies to make these 12 gift tags.
It would be lots of fun to have a couple of friends joins you for afternoon tea and make a set of four tags each.
I made one of each of the tags following the instructions that are included.
Then I decided that I would like to make some alternative projects using the remaining supplies. I hope these give you some ideas. I’ll share some today and the rest tomorrow.
Today’s projects are all easel cards and are perfect for displaying tag images.
For this first card I took a piece of Soft Suede card and embossed it with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. To lighten areas of the brickwork I swiped the Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad across the card.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the tree and popped it on the front panel. There are lots of coordinating gems in the kit so I was able to embellish the card.
The greeting is from the Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set and I stamped it with Just Jade ink.
The gift box is such a cute image expecially stamped in Polished Pink. I tucked a short length of Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon under the scalloped circle. By placing these layered circles up on Stampin’ Dimensionals this provides the anchor point to hold the easel card upright.
For this easel card I embossed a layer of Basic White card using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder.
This Christmas greeting is from the Merriest Moments Stamp Set. It was stamped using the Night of Navy Ink Spot that was supplied in the kit. I cut the greeting using one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
I used coordinating Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to embellish the card.
This is the third easel card I made. I trimmed the gift boxes away from the top of the remaining taxi tags to add to this card so that Santa had some gifts to deliver.
I embossed a piece of Just Jade card using the snowflakes from the pair of Wintry 3D Embossing Folders. A Basic White piece of card was also embossed.
The Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Set was where I found the greeting for this card. After stamping it with Bumblebee ink I cut the layers using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
The final touch was to add some of the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a biy of Christmas bling.
Tomorrow I wi;; have two more cards and a gift box to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
