Yeti To Party Tags

Leave a comment November 22, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Christmas is coming ( I’m trying not to panic as I prep for the holidays and write report cards this week). One thing I always need are more tags. There never seem to be enough. My dear partner Noah is happy just to write on the wrapping paper in Sharpie (ugh!) but I feel like a gift should be wrapped with care and be beautiful. So to help out with wrapping I created a pile of these fun tags. The inspiration came from a card by Mikaela Titheridge.

I used the Yeti party stamp set( minus the yeti) and the Tailor Made Tags Dies to make these. A full list of supplies and a printable tutorial are below.

Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] $12.00	Yeti To Party Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [159826] $25.00	Sweet Sorbet Classic Stampin' Pad [159216] $11.00	Night Of Navy Classic Stampin' Pad [147110] $11.00	Balmy Blue Classic Stampin' Pad [147105] $11.00
Blending Brushes [153611] $17.00	Tailor Made Tags Dies [155563] $30.00	Real Red & Garden Green 3/8" (1 Cm) Ribbon Combo Pack [159577] $10.25	Linen Thread [104199] $7.00	Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] $6.00

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop – November 2022

3 Comments November 14, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s the 14th of the month – time for another Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop!

This month we are CASEing the Catty ( Mini and/or Annual). Some of us have completely cased the cards, others have done it with a spin.

Hop around see all the amazing cards created by our team members! Leave a little love and then come back to see us again on the 14th next month!

My card was inspired by a Merriest Moments card on p. 23 of the Stampin’ Up! mini Jul – Dec 2022 catalogue. The original was a slimline card, so I compressed it to a standard card base. I love the look of the Blushing Bride and stamped off Sweet Sorbet next to the Shaded Spruce and Mint Macaron.

This DSP is a huge 48 sheet pack that you can get as a host DSP and is only available with Stampin’ Rewards (ask me for more details on how you can get it). The stamp set has coordinating dies and a hybrid embossing folder. I used those to create the vellum leaf accents.

Please leave a comment below and make sure to follow my blog for lots more great inspiration!
