Terrific Tags

Merry Christmas! Is everyone ready? I have my shopping done, but today I will be wrapping, baking and visiting. This week's project, as you may have guessed, is tags. I made this one super quick with the Winterland stamp set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. I printed the Christmas Tree on white card stock and cut it out with my nestibilities (Labels Four) and embossed it (after I finally located the tan mat...). Next I cut a larger label with pink card stock and embossed it and taped the two together. I added glitter and self sticking gem stones to give the tree some sparkle. I punched a hole for the ribbon string and it was done. You could easily print several of the images in this set and do a bunch of these tags at once (which is what I SHOULD have done...but I digress).

Start with Lindsay's blog and find out what she and the rest of her design team has whipped up for you today and have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Pretty Packaging - A Petite Purse

Wow! Say that (today's title) three times fast! Happy Thursday :) Today I have a quick project to cleverly package up those tiny stocking stuffer, party favor, school friend type gifts. You know, lip balm, life savers, chewing gum, small candy bar...
I cut these out using my cricut (yes! I got a new expression and I LOVE IT!), my SCAL software, and this cool set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. Just cut them out, emboss, embellish, done. And here is the best part - MyGrafico is having a store wide 25% off sale today and tomorrow!

Start at the top of the list with Lindsay's blog for a peek at a new set she released and a fun freebie this week and then check out the rest of her fabulous design team and see what they have created this week.

I apologize for the break-up in the text today.
I couldn't get it to line up right. :(

Winter Wear for your Hershey's Candy

Happy Thursday! Today I have a quick and easy way to sweetly wrap your Christmas Candy. It's so easy, it's shameful...but this time of year, who doesn't need a quick fix or two?
I used the new WINTER WEAR set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff at My Grafico! And for one day only, MG is having a 40% off sale, which makes this project even better! All you need is a sheet of labels, a set of digi stamps and a bag of Hershey's Nuggets candy. Open your stamp (png form) and size it to fit your label. I used AVERY 8160 for this project. Using the software, change the color of the stamp(s) and center them on the label. Print them out and wrap one label around each piece of candy. They fit perfectly! These candies would be cute in a see through gift bag with a topper, stuffed in a stocking, or tossed in a pretty bowl and left out on the table for Santa!

Check out the rest of Lindsay's Fabulous Design Team today and see what other tasty treats they have waiting for you to feast your eyes on...

Quick and Easy Christmas Card

Happy Thursday, Everyone! Have you all finished your Thanksgiving leftovers yet? Sadly, I didn't have any to finish (we went to hubby's parent's house) but we certainly haven't starved, by any means. ;)

Today I have a quick and easy card to make for Christmas. This would be a great one to make in batches. I started with the Harlequin Paper from Lindsay's Black and White Papers set. I printed out a small sheet (scaled to size) and then printed the stamp. You could actually print a few of each on one sheet and save time and money. I cut out the paper and attached 3 red brads in the lower right hand corner and glued it down on a black card base. I ran a strip of tombow adhesive on the edge and across the front and covered it with red ribbon. I cut out the stamp with my nesties, glued it down and done!

You can find the stamp set on Lindsay's Blog - and here's the best part - it's FREE! You can find the paper along with several

others in this set in Lindsay's Mygrafico shop for only $2.99!!

Check to see what the rest of the Design Team has whipped up for you today! And I think Lindsay will have a new freebie for you, so you can start with her! Have a great day!!
