Washi tape AHA moment

in 2016, 3D, Canadian Demonstrator, Christmas tag, Class on 11/13/16

So many samples from Stampin'up! products are posted on Pinterest.  I loved the idea of a tag class with the Mason Jar.  Something very similar was posted on Pinterest and it inspired me.  I love bling and embellishment and like to add my twist on things.   Lots of my customers don't know how to use the washi tape available in the catalogues.  So many opportunities exist.    As I was preparing my class, I had this aha moment, a light bulb went on in my brain.  THE WASHI TAPE fit perfectly around the lid… I was so excited.  It embellished the jar perfectly and coordinated with the colors used.

My mother in law brought me a bunch of mason jars on Thanksgiving.  With the proper embellishments, these make the perfect hostess or teachers gift for the holidays. If you want to make easy quick tags for the holidays, the merriest wishes stamp set and merry tags framelits dies is perfect. It's also available in as a bundle, you save an additional 10%.

For this tag, I used the pretty pines thinlits dies #141851.  To make my pines so shiny, I used the copper foil sheets available in the holiday catalogue #142020.  I'm hoping Stampin up brings these sheets in future catalogues. 

If you haven't gotten the new in colors, you are missing out, the emerald envy is a perfect holiday color.  it also coordinates well with cherry cobbler. There's a ribbon bundle in the holiday catalogue , the 3/8" silky taffeta ribbon combo pack #141989.  It's 5 yards of cherry cobbler and 5 yards of emerald envy.

Jordan truly enjoyed our trip the the local bulk barn store, she took this opportunity to get her favorite candies.  If you don't want to put candies in the jars, the perfect option would be to add your favorite cookie recipe.  I made 6 different tag designs, but today I'm only sharing this one.  I've got so many projects on the go and can't wait to update you.

 

Below you will find the list of products and current sales that are happening for November.

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
