Hi everybody! Well...you thought Stamp-tember was fun right??!! And, now, it's Die-Cember! Yay! It's another fabulous release of all new dies from our friends at Simon Says Stamp! There is something for everyone with this release. Lots of new word dies, some hearts and some other cool stuff! My favorite thing from this release is the new Stitched Dress Up Tags. LOVE them! CLICK HERE to see the entire release.
A whole fun bunch of us made projects to share with you today! CLICK HERE to see the list of designers and find your DieCember inspiration!
I am continuing in full-on Christmas crafting mode in my studio. Still trying to get gifts and cards made for my friends and family. So I used the pretty new tags to dress up some treat bags for my holiday giving. This is a project that I do a lot - treat bags! It's fun to give little presents of candy to my friends. I did some inlaid die cutting with the pretty snowflakes die and used a crisp color palette of red, green and kraft with pops of white.
Here's a close up of my tag! I cut my tag base from kraft paper and then cut the topper out of crisp red. To make it look like snow, I spritzed some white mist onto the kraft. Love that look. I tied a bell onto the clip with some natural twine. This makes it feel homey and warm. Also, the person can unclip the tag and save it!
I started with some glassine bags. I cut strips of green patterned paper to add a pop of color on the first layer. Then I added doilies, and then my tag. SO FUN! After I put my candy in the bag, I folded it over and stapled it to secure it. The embellishments cover the staples!

Wanda, this is my first venture to your blog. Your work is outstanding. Another thing caught my eye - the photo of the cat with the Christmas hat. You must be the "Cat Whisperer". My cat would never sit till long enough for a relaxed photo - never the less wearing a hat! Happy Holidays!
