Quick & Easy Holiday Tags and Treat Boxes

Hi, it's Emily here! These are the tags and treat boxes I made with my son's class last week. Each student made their own sentiment tags and coloured in the image of their choice. They also customized their packaging with a sparkly snowflake, string and pillow box. Every gift turned out so cute and I wish I had remembered to photograph them all together!



Originally, my son didn't want to do any voiceover work for this video but after watching me edit the video, he decided he had to pop in here and there. I was thrilled, especially since I know you all love him so much! :D

This first sample uses a sentiment from Holly Jolly on a tag from Gift Tags 1 and the girl elf from Enchanted Elves and Elf Icons. When it came time to giving it away, I did include a large sparkly red snowflake between the two tags.

The Hanukkah sample uses a sentiment from Kibitzing Sampler and dreidels from Kibitzing Icons on a tag die cut from the original Stitched Tag. Here, you can see the large gold snowflake that wasn't shown in the video.

My final sample is more generic and uses a sentiment from Christmas Sampler and a snowman from Freezy Fellas and Fellas Icons. Below is the stack of holiday books we personally addressed with Christmas Sampler and Merry Motifs.

It's so easy to make extras to have on hand for friends and family who pop in unexpectedly over the holidays. I hope you're all ready for Christmas! A cute little boy in my family is counting down the days 'til Santa arrives. ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by during this busy holiday season!

Stamp and Die Versatility with Holly Jolly and Blessed Icons

Hi, it's Emily here, and this card features the garlands from the Holly Jolly stamp set as a multi-strand necklace.



The layered sentiment was created using the Christmas Words 2 dies.

I used the Blessed Icons dies to shape the neck and shoulders of the torso, as well as the collar of the shirt.

Holiday Bookmark with Inlaid Stockings Dies

Hi, it's Emily here and this project is a holiday bookmark using the inlaid die cutting technique. It features the new Stockings Dies and Holly Jolly stamp set, along with the Bookmarks Dies. My son has been asking for different bookmarks for different types of books. For example, he'll use a dinosaur bookmark for dinosaur books, a Lego bookmark for Lego books and a sea life bookmark for The Octonauts books.

To create the inlay, I die cut a front and back for the bookmark and die cut the stockings from the front panel. Before adhering the two bookmark panels together, used washi tape to split and stamp the sentiment from Holly Jolly. Then I die cut the stockings and cuffs from patterned paper and adhered the pieces in their respective spots.

Introducing A Holy Holiday, Holly Jolly and Just For You

Hi, it's Emily here, and I'm sharing the card I created for the August DT Blog Hop! I was asked to feature the A Holy Holiday stamp set. I used the reindeer, berry (for the nose), large snowflake and two-part sentiment. The mini tag is from the Holly Jolly stamp set and the small snowflake is from the Just For You stamp set, both of which are also from this release. All of these stamps will be available for purchase on September 1st and Just For You is the TAM set for September 2014.

The birch tree background was created with the Autumn Groves stamp set. The sky and hills were created with a combination of the Borders 1, Stitched and Quotables dies.
