Tag A Bag Samples

Hello!  I'm back with more samples to share from the live stamping event with Stampin' Up! this past Wednesday.  These are the gift bags we created with the Tag A Bag bundle in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  Many people need gift wrap or bags last minute and don't have time to run to the store to grab something to wrap their gift in.  This bundle solves that problem!  You can make lots of different wrapping options in a snap to have on hand for days when time is short!  After I watched the live stream, I created all the samples they showed, and now I have bags and boxes on hand when I realize last minute that someone's birthday is coming and I forgot!

 I shared this idea yesterday, but here it is again for those who missed it.  This is a box we covered with the chevron bag.  We cut the bag down a little and used it as a decorative belly band for the box.  A neat idea!

 Here are some gift tags to use on cards, gift bags, or other sized boxes.  I left them blank so that I can stamp them later to match the occasion.

 I left a lot of my tags blank because I never know what I'll need the bag or box for.  This way, the bag, box, or tag is already ready for me, and I can customize the tag at a later date to fit the reason/occasion for the gift.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoyed today's post.  I'll see you tomorrow!

Tag a Bag Boxes from Live Stream

Hello!  For those of you who didn't watch Stampin' Up!'s live stream stamping event on Wednesday night, here are some of the projects they showed that I made.  I loved the Tag a Bag items from the catalog before the live event, but afterwords, I was even more in love with what you can do with the boxes, tags, and bags!  So cute and really fun!  And I loved playing around with all the pieces.  Definitely a fun night of stamping and creating!  I also loved not having to come up with the ideas, and the prep was zero!  Such a treat for me.  And it was free to watch!  I got some really great ideas.  They showed how to cut a box down and make smaller, really cute ones, and alternate ways to use the Chevron print bags.  I loved all the ideas!  Today I'm going to show you the boxes we made, and then I'll come back and post the bags tomorrow.

 This is a smaller box that we made by cutting the box apart and altered.  The new box size measures 4 1/2''.   We cut down the acetate sleeve to fit the new size.

 This is a cute little 3'' box.  I love how small it is!  I'd love to get a cute little box like this.  I go crazy over mini things!

I love how we folded one of the blank tags over the edge of another tag.  Such a great idea, and I love the look!  I would never have thought of that!  Also, if you notice, we cut the top and bottom off of the chevron bag and slid it over the acetate sleeve, and then slid the sleeve over the top of the box.  Clever! I love these boxes.  I may have problems actually giving them away!  If you missed the live stream event, you can find it on youtube under youtube.com/stampinupvideo.  You will definitely learn lots of new things.  I sure did!!!  Thanks for stopping by today.  I'll see you tomorrow with the bags we made during this event.

Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set

Hello!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending time with family, if you were able to be with them.  I always love Thanksgiving and holidays in general for that reason.  I love being with my family! I celebrate it at home, warm and cozy, rather than out waiting in lines or fighting crowds to buy early christmas gifts.  The holidays are just more fun spent at home, warm and surrounded by family!

On that note, I'm so excited for another photopolymer stamp set from Stampin' Up!  Take a look at what they've come up with for Christmas this year.  I definitely want this kit, and I'm sure you will too!   I love Christmas and am excited for it, but don't worry, I still love and celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving too!

 Pop and Place Holiday Punch Book and Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set!

We added pockets to the front and back cover, so that if you pull a piece out and decide not to use it, you will have somewhere to store it.

We added perforation lines between some of the shapes and extended the design to the whole page so that if you are feeling creative, you can use the negative space as well as the tags themselves.

Finally, we decided that a book full of tags needed a stamp set to go with it, so there's a stamp set designed specifically to coordinate with the punch book.
