Yesterday was family baking day. Callie and I made covered pretzels while Michael licked sprinkles from his plate. Don't worry - none of his pretzels made it out the door to neighbors and friends. I put our pretzels in a cool little gusseted bag and then tied one of these tags around it using our Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine. It made for a cute pop of holiday!
To make these tags, just run a 5 1/2 x 2 3/4 piece of Very Vanilla through the Big Shot using your magnetic platform. Next stamp the scrumptious stamp from Here's to Cheers stamp set using Early Espresso. Then you can run two scraps of Real Red through the Big Shot using the precision plate to get the filigree piece and the curvy line on the front of the tag. Both are adhered using a fine tip glue pen. Tie it off using a piece of twine long enough to tie around the bag!
Supplies:
- Cardstock/DSP: Very Vanilla (5 1/2 x 2 3/4), Real Red (scrap)
- Ink: Early Espresso
- Stamp Set: Here's to Cheers
- Accessories: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Precision Plate, Cutting Mats, Cheerful Tags Thinlits, Basic Rhinestones, Fine Tip Glue Pen, Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine
Today's other project is an adorable Santa card. To make this card, you will use the Detailed Santa Thinlits. I ran the Santa through my Big Shot using the precision plate - that way I could make sure each swirl cut all the way through! Then I ran it through the Big Shot using the magnetic platform and the slanted line thinlit (to make sure it stayed straight and in place.) Add Tear and Tape to the back of the Santa, just above the slanted lines. Then attach a strip of Red Glimmer Paper so it shows through the holes. Tie a piece of Red Twine around the bottom and attach to the folded Real Red card using adhesive or the Fine Tip Glue Pen. Stamp the saying from Stitched with Cheer or whatever stamp set you have for the holidays using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Adorable, right?

WHAT IS PAPER PUMPKIN?
While we have many great products on closeout, there is one program that you really should check out as well. I only sell things I'm passionate about and this product line is definitely one of my favorites!
Paper Pumpkin is creativity in a box. It costs $19.95 plus tax and ships to your mailbox once a month. It contains everything you need for your own creative escape. Besides the instructions and pieces for the cards or project, it also contains ink and photopolymer stamps and usually the adhesive you need as well. My subscribers will also get a project sheet with tips and additional ideas and instructions that they can make with the supplies in the kits and sometimes some supplemental supplies. They also are invited to participate in a free Paper Pumpkin Playdate to make their kits using any of my additional supplies like framelits and punches! It's a wonderful program and I'd love for you to try it out! Sign up by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit!
