Stampin' Up! Tags and Tidings in the Spotlight

Wow, Fall seems to have come in with a bang here in Central New York. Today was a rather blustery damp rainy day. I'm so not ready for Summer to come to an end, but ready or not, here it comes. But I do also love the color changes of the leaves, Pumpkin everything along with warm cozy fuzzy sweaters etc. but, I just wish we had a few more weeks of Summer. Anyhoo, last weekend we held our first annual full day retreat and OH MY we had a FABULOUS time. We had lots of fun and LOTS of creating. I really wish you could have been there..maybe next year?

Well today, I want to share a fun card I did using the Tags and Tidings bundle from the Holiday catalog. This fun set actually creates 16 adorable tags with one stamp and one die! But, going "outside the box" I created a fun Christmas card with the stamp and die. Using the die, I was able to "spotlight" an area on the card front and it looked pretty cute.
To create this card, I started with a standard card base of Old Olive measuring 8.5" x 5.5" scored and folded at 4.25". I then cut a second layer of Old Olive measuring 4" x 5.25" and stamped the tag images in Old Olive ink. I attached this layer to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. I then stamped the tag images onto Whisper White with Real Red ink and ran them through the Big Shot with the coordinating die. I then took the tag with the sentiment, "warm wishes" and threaded 1/8" Real Red ribbon through the  tag hole and tied a bow. I added it over the same Old Olive image using Dimensionals. This was a quick and simple card that was fun to create. I will be doing some more playing with this one as I'm sure there is more that can be done with it, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, Happy Stamping,

Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop - Holiday Tags

Welcome to this months Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop for November 2017! I am so glad you could join me today. This month our theme is Holiday Tags.You may be just starting here at my blog, Katrina's Kreative Heart, with me, Katrina Wolfe, or you may have come from the person before me in the list. Either way, if you get off track at any time, the full lineup is below and will help you move along from blog to blog so that you won't miss any of the amazing projects along the way. At the moment, you are visiting, Katrina Wolfe at Katrina's Kreative Heart.
For my tag project, I decided to use one of my favorite bundles from the Holiday catalog, Carols of Christmas. I just adore this bundle and find that I reach for it often and found once I got going on these cute tags, I couldn't stop so ended up with a total of 6 tags in no time at all. So, then, what's a girl to do with 6 tags laying around? Well, she makes a box to put them in of course! Again, quick and easy!

Tag Directions:

To create the tags, I cut Whisper White and Be Merry Christmas DSP 5.5" x 2" and adhered them together with Fast Fuse. I then punched the tops with the Scalloped Tag Topper punch. I stamped the deer from the Carols of Christmas in Soft Suede ink onto some scrap Whisper White cardstock and cut them out on the Big Shot with the coordinating die. I cut the single tree from the die set from scraps of Garden Green Cardstock and adhered both the tree and the deer to the bottom of the tags with mini dimensionals. For the sentiment and the To/From, I pulled out my Hang your Stocking stamp set. I stamped the Merry Christmas in Garden Green onto some scraps of Whisper White and punched them out with the Pretty Label punch and layered them onto a piece of Garden Green punched out with the 1.75" circle punch and popped them onto the tags with Stampin' Dimensionals. As a final touch, I added the Jute Twine to the top.

Box Directions:

To make the box, I started with a piece of Whisper White cut 7.5" x 4.5" for the bottom and scored 1" on all 4 sides. I snipped the end score lines up to the intersecting score lines on the 2 short ends, folded on all the score lines and added adhesive to the tabs and folded them in creating the bottom of the box. 
For the box top, I used a piece of Garden Green also cut 7.5" x 4.5", only I added a shim of approximately 5 Post-It notes to the edge of my score board and scored all 4 sides at 1". I snipped the up to the intersecting score lines on the short ends to create my tabs and I added Be Merry DSP to the top (5.25" x 2.25") and all 4 sides, (long sides cut .75" x 5.25"; short sides .75" x 2.25") and added adhesive to all 4 tabs with Fast Fuse and created my box top.
