For today, I’m taking a break from Christmas theme projects and sharing a Harvest Hellos Gift Tag. For recent team gifts, members received a Bath & Body Works hand soap. The apple in the Harvest Hellos Stamp Set along with the Apple Builder Punch coordinate perfectly with the Afternoon Apple Picking label. Don’t you just love it when store bought items coordinate with your stamps and dies? Both of the items can be purchased in the Harvest Hellos Bundle for a 10% savings. For the colorful background leaves, the See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper is cut with the Gathered Leaves Dies provides perfect Fall leaves.
Here’s a close-up of the gift tag:
Steps to create the Harvest Hellos Gift Tag:
First, create a tag base using a 3-1/2″ x 2″ piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock and the Delightful Tag Topper Punch or the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.
From the See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper. select the desired colors. Then, cut one large leaf, two medium leaves and one small leaf from the designer series paper using the Gathered Leaves Dies. Also, use the dies to cut a medium size, solid leaf from a scrap of Mossy Meadow cardstock.
From the Harvest Hellos Stamp Set, stamp the apple using Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Punch the apple shape using the Apple Builder Punch and punch a stem from a scrap of Early Espresso cardstock. Attach the stem to the apple using a mini glue dot.
Notice the small leaves around the apple stem? One small leaf was cut from an Old Olive Foil Sheet found in the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets. After cutting the leaf with the Gathered Leaves Dies, 2 portions were cut to use around the apple stem. Attach to the apple using mini glue dots.
To stamp the sentiment, use the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp set and Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp onto a 1/2″ x 2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. After stamping, cut an inverse “v” to create the flag end.
Next, layer the leaf elements onto the Crushed Curry Tag base. When you are satisfied with the placement, attach to the tag base using Snail adhesive. Add sentiment to apple. Then, add the apple atop the leaves using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To complete the tag, attach a Linen Thread bow. For attaching to the gift, use Braided Linen Trim.
Hope you enjoyed this gift tag project. Tip: When making tags, it’s the perfect time to use your scrap papers.

Have you noticed that I am now in full on Christmas mode?! The past couple of weeks, I have been enjoying creating a variety of Christmas themed cards and projects. Don’t worry though, I still have some Fall theme projects to share with you before the full force of Christmas arrives after Thanksgiving. Today’s post, Brightly Gleaming Merry Christmas, is another make ‘n take card from Stamping Bingo. The card elements include the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Christmas Gleaming Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog. The elements from the Brightly Gleaming Suite are elegant and gorgeous. It is easy to create simple but beautiful projects with the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper and accompanying embellishments. That’s the case with the Brightly Gleaming Merry Christmas Card.
Card Details:
For the card base, cut Pretty Peacock cardstock at 4-1-4″ x 11″, score at 5-1/2″ and fold on score line.
The second layer is Very Vanilla cardstock, cut 4″ x 5-1/4″. To add texture, emboss with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Attach to the card base with adhesive.
Cut a 3″ x 4-1/4″ piece of the stripe design from the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. Using a strong adhesive, attach to the center of the Very Vanilla cardstock layer.
Then use the ornament punch to cut an ornament shape from a coordinating piece of the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper. Attach to a stitched oval cut from Very Vanilla cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. Layer onto a Pretty Peacock cardstock scallop oval cut using the Layering Ovals Dies. Center onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the sentiment, stamp the Merry Christmas from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock using Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad. Using paper snips, cut the around the perimeter of the sentiment. Refer to card photo for placement onto the card.
To finish the card, embellish with the sprigs from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements. For the final embellishment, add a bow using the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon.
Also, don’t forget to embellish the card interior…

Do you love project kits? If so, you’re going to love the Christmas Countdown Project Kit by Stampin’ Up! This Christmas craft kit let’s you create your own hand-crafted advent décor.

But wait! Though the project kit is called Christmas Countdown, it’s not just for Christmas.
Isn’t it a great idea for storing embellishments? In my craft room, numerous methods have been tried for embellishment storage. Yet, the system currently in use still does not allow me to see purchased embellishments. You know the saying – out of sight, out of mind! Which means embellishments are forgotten and thus not used enough. Therefore, I my recent order includes an extra Christmas Countdown Project Kit to use for embellishment storage. I look forward to it arriving and will share the finished project in a future blog.
Other uses include decorating the reverse side of the boxes for other holiday themes such as Easter is Coming. Or perhaps, use as a Birthday Countdown. What other uses can you think of?
Be sure to place your order for the Christmas Countdown Project Kit before it becomes Sold Out! You can order below in the Project Materials section.

One of the projects from the recent card classes is a fun fold card featuring the Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set. If you’ve not seen the Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set, you must check it out on page 63 in the Holiday Catalog. It was one of the first products on my order list. Though the stamp set contains no sentiments, it’s a set perfect for creating a variety of nature inspired card and project designs. The wildlife animals are good to use for creating masculine theme cards too. It gets even better. For every set that is sold, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to Mental Health Organizations.
Here’s a peek at all the stamps included in the Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set…
Card Details:
Cajun Craze cardstock is cut 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ for base.
Cut a piece of Pear Pizzazz 5-1/4″ x 6-3/4″ and score at 4″. Fold on score line to create the card. Attach to the Cajun Craze card base with Snail Adhesive.
The plaid piece is from the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper and is cut 2-1/2″ x 5″. To adhere to the front card flap, use Snail Adhesive.
The Whisper White card interior is 5″ x 3-3/4″. The sentiment on the card is from the Free As A Bird stamp set. Stamp the sentiment on the lower right corner of the exposed Whisper White using Cajun Craze Classic Stamp Pad. Then, attach to the interior of the Pear Pizzazz.
On a 2-1/2″ scrap of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the Bunny using Soft Suede. To the side of the bunny, stamp the reeds using So Saffron. Cut with the next to smallest circle in the Stitched Shapes Dies. Use the Layering Circles Dies to cut a scallop from Cajun Craze cardstock. Attach the bunny piece to the scallop circle with Snail Adhesive. Then attach the entire circle to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Refer to photo for placement. TIP: Be sure to add the Stampin’ Dimensionals to the top half of the circle only.
Complete the card by adding a bow made using the Cajun Craze Linen Thread from the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo Pack.
Also, a big shout out and thank you to Cindee Wilkinson at Just Sponge It! The fun fold was shown on one of her projects. So, I used her dimensions for my nature inspired card.
