Tin of Tags Banner - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

This is it, guys! We're in December and the final month of the current Artisan Team's term and today is our second to last hop. It has been a great year! Thank you all so much for joining us on the ride.

Today I want to share with you a banner I made using the Tin of Tags project kit. Out of this kit I made this banner, 10 of the actual tags (some converted to cards) and still had leftovers for other projects. I feel like I've stretched it so well! Inspired by Krista Frattin, I made a wooden star to stick it on. These bits were lying around in the back yard and already had holes in the ends! How convenient. What kind of Christmas decor are you making at the moment?

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Layered Letters Alphabet
Inks: Read Red
Papers: Whisper White
Accessories/Tools: Tin of Tags Project Kit, Linen Thread, Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine (you could use the silver/white twine in the kit though), Silver Metallic Thread, 1/8" Circle Punch, 5/8" Burlap Ribbon, Dimensionals, 1 1/2" Circle Punch

Next up I can't wait to see what Val has made! Happy hopping to you. xx

I'm 'dangling the carrot'...

Exciting new initiative starting JANUARY 2017 : Get in on the action now!

Introducing The Crafty Carrot Collective

Welcome to a very special introductory blog hop - squeeee! I'm SO excited to tell you about this brand-new, global and interactive rewards programme some Stampin' Up! Artisan friends and I are starting in January 2017!! We have SO many exciting things in store for you so NOW is the time to jump on board and follow us (scroll all the way down for links). Here's a little bit about it...

End-of-Year Treat Boxes:

Our Tiny Treat Boxes seem to look gorgeous whatever you do with them! Here I've made four tags (a folded 2" x 4" card) per box and added some Hershey's kisses for end-of-year gifts. Use an aqua painter filled with water and approx 20 drops of Calypso Coral reinker on a 1 7/8" square of Shimmery White Paper for a quick watercolour background. When dry, use the Tin of Tags stamp set in Basic Black ink on your square and adhere it to the front of your tag. Punch a hole and thread some twine through. So easy but so effective!

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Tin of Tags

Inks: Basic Black Archival Ink, Calypso Coral reinker

Papers: Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper, Shimmery White

Accessories/Tools: Silver 1/4" Natural Trim, Linen Thread, Basic Black Baker's Twine, 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch, Clear Tiny Treat Boxes
