I’m back and featuring a fun Fall Gift Tag project. It’s one of those projects that appears to be more difficult than it is. Did you miss me? Last week was one of those weeks!!! The week began great with Stampin’ Bingo on Monday but after a fun filled day, the things seem to so haywire. At times I felt like I was a hamster in a wheel, going round and round but not advancing! I think we all have had such an experience at some point and it was my turn to go round and round last week. So, I decided to take a few days off with no blogging. It was refreshing to take a break. Good thing is this week has begun fantastic so I’m no longer “in the wheel” and am excited to share a project from Stampin’ Bingo.
I am a huge fan of Bath & Body Works products and often give their products as gifts. Naturally, a gift must be wrapped or embellished. So today’s product, hand soap, is bagged and embellished with a fun Fall gift tag. Since the hand soap is Pumpkin Apple, the Gather Together Bundle and the Harvest Hellos Bundle combine to fit the product’s theme.
Below is a closer view of the tag…
I just love combining the two bundles, Gather Together and Harvest Hellos. They coordinate well together. Since the name of the hand soap is Pumpkin Apple, I could have incorporated an apple instead of a pumpkin! Harvest Hellos is full of versatility.
Have fun creating a gift tag for your favorite Fall scents! The items used for today’s fun Fall gift tag are listed under Project Materials.

Sep 18, 2019 | 2019 Holiday Catalog, Cellophane Bags, Holiday Catalog, Quick & Easy, Simple Stamping, Tags |
It’s such fun to give small “thinking of you” gifts and the 3″ x 6″ gusseted cellophane bags from Stampin’ Up! are the perfect size for such purpose. Naturally, the gift bag needs a gift tag and the one on the project below is quick and easy. This project is perfect for using up scraps of cardstock. Since we’re celebrating the arrival of Fall soon, leaves in Fall colors are used to embellish the tag. The Gather Together Bundle includes the Gather Together Stamp Set and the Gathered Leaves Dies. Can you see the dimension in the leaves? The dies not only cut but emboss! Details for creating the tag are listed below the project photo.
Card Details:
- To create tag base, cut a 1-1/2″ x 3″ piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. On one end of the cardstock, use the Delightful Tag Topper Punch to create the tag. Use the corner rounder section on the Detailed Trio Punch to round the edges on the opposite end of the tag.
- On the tag, stamp the large leaf from the Gather Together Stamp Set using Pear Pizzazz Classic Stampin’ Pad.
- Next, use the three leaves dies to cut a leaves from scraps of Merry Merlot, Pretty Peacock and Cajun Craze cardstock. One leaf in each color was cut. TIP: By first lightly spritzing the cardstock with water and then cutting with the dies. The embossed impression is much deeper. Plus when the cardstock dries, the edges of the leaves curl just as Fall leaves curl.
- While the leaves are drying, stamp the sentiment from the Parcels and Petals Stamp Set (in the Annual Catalog) onto the tag using Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad.
- Once the cut leaves are dry, sponge Golden Glitz Delicata Metallic Ink onto each leaf. Layer the leaves onto the tag below the sentiment using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- After adding your treats to the 3″ x 6″ cellophane bag, fold top over approximately 3/4″ and secure with a staple. Fold 3″ x 2″ piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper in half and secure to the bag by using Snail Adhesive on each side of fold. (you are sandwiching the bag top inside the Designer Series Paper)
- Finish by adding the gift tag to the bag with Mini Stampin Dimensionals and add a Cajun Craze Linen Thread bow using a mini glue dot.

Today, I am showcasing one of the cards from the Holiday Catalog Shoebox swap from a couple of weeks ago. The Gather Together bundle and other products from the Come to Gather Suite create a Fall themed card. Yes, the calendar says Fall is right around the corner but the weather here in Georgia is hanging on to Summer! Temperatures are forecast to reach near 100 this weekend! I hope that you’re having more moderate weather. Now back to the card. Notice the Cajun Craze leaves? The dies cut and emboss! I share a tip below on using the dies. The Gather Together card is a simple card that is perfect to send to family and friends.
Unfortunately, I do not have the name of the person that created the card design. We were all busy moving from station to station and neglected to gather names of each person with their creation! Lesson learned! We’ll put our names on our creations.
Card Materials:
- Base: Early Espresso cardstock (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″ for side fold card base)
- Very Vanilla cardstock: 3″ x 3″ for large leaf, 4″ x 5-1/4″ for interior, 2″ x 1″ for sentiment on front of card
- Cajun Craze cardstock: 2-1/2″ x 3″ for cut & embossed leaves
- Come to Gather Designer Series Paper: 2″ x 5-1/4″
- Classic Ink Pads: Cajun Craze & Pretty Peacock
- Cajun Craze Linen Thread from the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo Pack
Details:
- To create card base, fold the Early Espresso on the score line.
- Adhere the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper to the left side of the Early Espresso card base using Snail Adhesive.
- Stamp the large maple leaf using Cajun Craze onto the 3″ square of Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut using the coordinating die.
- Use the three embossed leaf dies to cut and emboss leaves from the strip of Cajun Craze cardstock. TIP: spritz the paper lightly with water before using your die cutter – this helps the dies break the fibers in the paper, which gives a deeper embossed impression. Plus the edges of the leaves curl slightly, just like a real leaf.
- With the strip of Very Vanilla, stamp the sentiment with Pretty Peacock. Trim to create the flag tail.
- Using snail adhesive, attach the three Cajun Craze leaves to the card (refer to photo for placement).
- Add the large stamped leaf with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Using adhesive, attach the sentiment to the lower portion of the card.
- With three strands of the Cajun Craze linen thread, tie a bow. Attach to the card front above the sentiment using a mini glue dot.
See how simple it is to create a beautiful Fall card. The embossed leaves dies add lots of dimension to projects with leaves. Be sure to get the Gather Together Bundle – you’ll find that it’s great for more than just Fall themed projects.
