Festive Tags Kit: 5 Tag Designs and 5, Yes 5, Cards You Can Make

Hello to you today. 

DEMO_MKTL_SQR

There's a new kit in town called the Festive Tags Kit!  I'll be talking about this kit today.  I must mention first, though, that all of the kits in Kits Collection are on sale during the whole month of August.  Kits are 10, 20, or 30% off.  You need to visit my online store here to see what is available.  Look at the Kits Collection.  These are while supplies last.  Some sold out kits may reappear if it says not currently available.

CUST_LPG1_FESTIVE_TAGS_KIT_US_0823

The Festive Tags Kit has all the supplies to make 15 Christmas tags.  You make 3 each of 5 designs.  The kit has everything that you need.  There is no stamping.  This kit is beautiful, fast, and easy peasy.  Here is an example of each tag.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Made As Directed

After making these tags, I decided to turn the tag making supplies into cards.  I have a video to show you 5 cards made from this kit with a few additional Stampin' Up! supplies.  Here goes.

 

I love these cards and they can easily be changed to go with supplies that you might already have at home.  Of course, ordering is good too!

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Brights 6 x 6 DSP  Gold Foil  Sparkle Snowflakes  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

This card is on a Coastal Cabana  base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.  There is a strip of Coastal Cabana stripe cut from the Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.  The size is 2 x 4 1/4.  Add a 1/4 inch strip of Gold Foil butted up against the designer paper.  I punched a hole in the ornament with a 1/8 inch circle punch (retired).  The gold ribbon is from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack from the Online Exclusives.  I used a brand new stamp set coming up in the mini called Sparling Snowflakes.  Stamp in Coastal Cabana.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Zany Zoo dies  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

This card has a base of Thick Basic White same as above.  Cut the larger trees from the Zany Zoo dies.  I used 7.  Watch the video to see about spacing.  In the sample above, I used the Tailor Made Tags.  In the sample I made on the video I used a left over tag for this.  Which do you like best?  The ribbon is Garden Green and can be found in the annual catalog called Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Black and White Gingham Ribbon  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set with this card.  Colors of the snowflakes are Lost Lagoon, Fresh Freesia, and Pool Party.  Pull in the Black & White Gingham Ribbon.

Tag Kit  Snowflake EF  Red and Green Ribbon combo  JO Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

This card is on a base of Lost Lagoon.  I used a new embossing folder called Snowflake Sky 3D.  This time I used the Real Red ribbon from the annual catalog Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack.  I moved the wreath to the red tag background.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Simply Elegant Trim  Jo Anne Hewins

I think this is my favorite.  I changed the flower to the pink tag background.  I think that's Flirty Flamingo.  I added silver trim.  This is from the annual catalog and is called Simply Elegant Trim.  On the sample in the video I did not put the trim around the card, but still behind the flowers.  I used another new stamp set here called Magical Meadow.  I thought the stems went along with that set.  They are stamped in Lost Lagoon and Garden Green.

So there you have it.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Cards from Kit Components

Here are all of the cards.  So you could just make tags and have 15 total.  You could just make cards and have 15 total.  You can mix and match.  I hope you'll go take a look at the Festive Tags kit.  You can't beat the price!

July Paper Pumpkin-A Couple Alternatives

Paper Pumpkin has evolved into a fantastic box of fun!  I just can't wait for it to be delivered each month!  I am one of those who avoids all social media about the kits until I get mine.

Paper Pumpkin has been innovative in trying some new ideas, too.  They have had kits inspired by Sara and Shelli, leaders of the company.  They have had kits that coordinate with stamp sets in the catalog.  The July kit coordinates with not just one suite in the catalog, but 3!  The On My Mind kit coordinates with the Woven Thread Suite, the Garden Lane Suite, and the Come Sail Away Suite!

Here's a video from Stampin' Up! that shows all about the kit.

 

Here's a picture of my cards made using the directions provided.

July 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Jo Anne Hewins

Those cards are so cute.  You get enough supplies to make 3 of each card for a total of 9.  Of course, it's also fun to come up with some of your own designs.  I had to try!

July 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Garden Lane by Jo Anne Hewins

For this card, I used the Pear Pizzazz circle provided for another card.  The sentiment is from the On My Mind stamp set in the kit and is stamped in Pear Pizzazz.

July 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Come Sail Away by Jo Anne Hewins

For this card, I added in some of the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper.  The saying and shell are from the On My Mind stamp set.  Some of the Linen Thread is added behind the banner.  I'm liking the simplicity of this card!

July 2019 Paper Pumpkin Alternative Woven Heirlooms by Jo Anne Hewins

The background of this card is stamped, some full force and some stamped off, using the Woven Heirlooms stamp set.  I added some of the patterned paper from the kit and made a label using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.

All of these cards can be made in minutes!  It's so fun!

October 2018 Paper Pumpkin Friends of a Feather

Did you get the Friends of a Feather October Paper Pumpkin?  When I first saw it, I thought that it just wasn't for me.  Once I started working with it, I liked it more and more.  This kit makes 4 each of 2 designs for a total of 8 cards.  You even get cute printed envelopes!  

October paper pumpkin

Here's the quick video from Stampin' Up! that shows the kit.  There's a great stamp set and a Night of Navy ink spot.

 

Here's a picture of the cards that I made that are pretty close to the directions that came with the kit.

October Paper Pumpkin cards by Jo Anne Hewins

There is a smaller fold out card with fantastic lazer cut feathers on the front.  Wow!

October paper pumpkin cut outs cards by Jo Anne Hewins

I'm intrigued with the colors used in this kit.  I would not have put them all together, but they really work.

October Paper pumpkin big leaf cards by Jo Anne Hewins

There are lazer cut feathers of many colors as well as lots of leaves in different colors.  Look at the fancy scalloped edges on these cards!

Of course I had to come up with my own ideas for this kit so here we go.

October paper pumpkin alternate 1 

This card starts with a base of Grapefruit Grove.  The Mint Macaron layer is 3 3/4 x 5.  

The Whisper White layer is 3 5/8 x 4 7/8.  Stamp the leaf over the background in Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron. 

Turn one of the leaves over to the white side and sponge with a dauber with Mint Macaron ink.  Use the Fresh Fig and the Cajun Craze leaves too.  Adhere to the card.  Add some of the smaller Grapefruit Grove and Night of Navy leaves.

Use the Nature's Twine and pull apart strands in Grapefruit Grove and Mint Macaron.  Use those strands to stretch across the card and to make a bow.  Add the bow with a glue dot.  The saying is stamped in Mint Macaron on one of the white labels from the kit.  Add it with dimensionals.  Add some of the sequins from the Twinkle Adhesive Backed Sequins.

October Paper Pumpkin alternate 2 by Jo Anne Hewins

For this card, the base is Cajun Craze.  The Night of Navy layer is 4 x 5 1/4.  

The Whisper White layer is 3 3/4 x 5.  Stamp the three little lines over as interet for the background.  Stamp in Cajun Craze.  Add some Cajun Craze Designer Series Paper from the Regals collection.  It measures 1 1/2 x 3 3/4.

Stamp the container from the Country Lane in Memento Black.  Color with the Light and Dark Smoky Slate Blends.  Use the Color Lifter to lighten it up a little.  Cut this out and add with dimensionals.

But wait!  Before you adhere the container, add some of the twine.  I went around 2 times.  Add a bow with glue dots after the container is down.  Add small leaves to the container using Cajun Craze, Coastal Cabana, Grapefruit Grove, and Night of Navy.  Finish off with some of the sequins from the kit.
