Tags & Tidings - Christmas Stamp-a-Stack

This past weekend I held the last of my Christmas Stamp-a-Stacks for 2018. We used the Tags & Tidings stamp along with the co-ordinating die to make 15 cards and 15 gift tags.

There is a lot of preparation needed for a stamp-a-stack class. Everything is pre-cut, scored and then packaged up. This means that attendees get to spend the day doing the fun stuff – chatting, stamping and sticking. For those who couldn’t attend on the day but wanted the kit, there is additional work. For the take-away kits the designer series paper or cardstock is also punched/die cut and embossed as needed.

 

At classes I usually have one basket per project. All the samples and all the supplies needed (ink, punches, dies, embossing folder) for the project go in it.  On Saturday, the baskets only contained the samples and the instructions. All other supplies needed were either in each person’s kit or out on the table for all to share.

There were 5 different cards and tags designed and everyone made 3 of each design. In all, each person stamped the stamp image 12 times and when die cut this gave 192 tags! Here’s how a few where used.

 

 

Everyone purchasing the Tags & Tidings Bundle from me this month or next (November) will receive the instructions for all the Stamp-a-Stack cards and tags for free. The instructions contain details of all the cutting sizes for the cardstock and designer series paper, along with photos of how each card and tag are constructed.

Made a start on your Christmas cards yet?

I know that there is still some 80 days until it’s Christmas but the big question most card making people ask each other this time of the year is “have you made a start on your Christmas cards yet?” If the answer is no (or even if it’s yes) here’s a little inspiration for you.

 

The card features the Tags & Tidings stamp and also the co-ordinating Christmas Tags Thinlit Die. Yep, there is just one stamp and one die. I love the die because it cuts all of the images out at the same time. Such a great saver of time when you have lots to make.

The card and gift tags are a sneak peek of some of the projects from my upcoming All Day Retreat on 27 October. I have a couple of spaces left on the day so get in touch if you are interested.

Alternatively, anyone who purchases the Tags & Tidings Bundle (item no. 149986) from my Online Store during October will be emailed a link to the pdf instructions from my All Day Retreat. The link will be emailed to you on 27 October or later (if you order after the 27th). The instructions will include all the information that you will need to make 5 cards and their co-ordinating gift tag.

I hope my card inspires you to make a start so that you can tell those friends that, yes you have made a start on those Christmas cards.

Happy stamping.
