25 Days of Christmas Tags for Hello Bluebird

It's another day of LOTS of tags on my blog! I blogged 22 a couple of days ago for Simon Says Stamp and now today I have another 16 for Hello Bluebird. I think my Christmas tags are officially done (unless i dec ide to give more than 38 gifts away - haha). Today's post is part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags. Here are all of the contributors to this daily Christmas Tag blog hop: I used two tag dies by Hello Bluebird called Gallery Frame #4 Die and the Stitched Tag Builder Die for all of my tags. I also used ALL of the penguins from their Christmas stamp sets on them as well as the stand-a-lone... Read more →

"One Stamp, 500 Ways" - Simon Says Stamp SE Tag Kit

I couldn't put the title for this one as "one stamp, five ways" as I have a total of 22 tags to share with you today. So I exaggerated a bit in my title! Today I am sharing tags made with the Simon Says Stamp Special Edition Ho Ho Ho Tag Kit. Here is an image of the kit: I want to say (public service announcement) that this might be the best kit I have ever worked with by Simon. There is so much in it and it all works so well together. I saw pre-made tags at Costco this week and based on the price, I decided it's a much better deal to buy a kit and make your... Read more →

"One Stamp, Five Ways" - SSS December 2019 Card Kit "Gnome For the Holidays"

Today the December card kit called Gnome For The Holidays was released from Simon Says Stamp. I have a "one stamp, five ways" post to share with you today using the kit. I try to always focus on the stamp set, but I did also use the Lil Gnome die and the Christmas Gnome Home stencil in the kit. I didn't use any of the papers though as I went with a very different color theme (kept with my preference of bright colors). Here is an image of the kit: The stamp set is also called Gnome For the Holidays and it is sold alone if you want to purchase it by itself. The Lil Gnome die is sold alone... Read more →

Art Impressions Exclusive Holiday Flip Stamp Set Through SSS

Art Impressions won my heart at what used to be called CHA a few years ago. They have a line of what I fondly call my fat lady stamps. They are the cutest things in the world and that year, I bought about 12 sets of them when they discounted them at the end of the show. Ever since I've been a big fan of their unique images. Today they came out with an exclusive stamp set through Simon Says Stamp called the Holiday Flip Card Set. Here is an image of the stamps: They also have a die that coordinates with it (to create the flip) called the Flip Card Die. I have two cards to share with you... Read more →

"One Stamp, Five Ways" - MFT Cozy Companions by Stacey Yacula

Hi friends. Today is the My Favorite Things release for November. I get to work with the Stacey Yacula sets before the release so I can show them to you at release time. Today I have a "one stamp, five ways" post to share with you using the new Cozy Companions set. Here is an image: This is a little different than most of her sets have been and although I absolutely LOVE it, I had a little bit of a hard time using it in 5 different ways. I couldn't do a "random stamping" technique as the images are too big, so that one was out. I didn't want to emboss the images as they don't look like they... Read more →
