The strips were adhered to the basic rectangle, the excess trimmed away and the background run through a die cutting machine to flatten and secure the strips to the backing panel.
A sentiment from the stamp set was stamped on SSS Slate Gray Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment was die cut with a SSS Sentiment Labels Die and adhered to the center of the snowflake with foam adhesive.
Heart accents were added to the card as shown.
The panel was adhered to a white top fold card base to finish the design.
The same steps were used for the second card only a Simon Says Stamp Slimlilne Nested Rectangles base was used this time. The other snowflakes were used on the slimline panel to fill up the space.
For the matching gift tag I used strips from the Simon Says Stamp Strips 2 set and the same colors of cardstock. The snowflake was stamped and embossed before being die cut. Another snowflake was die cut and stamped with "to/from". The tags were adhered back to back, a hole punched, and finished with some Lawn Trimmings Twine.

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. I adding a once monthly evening Live the last Monday of the month at 7 p.m CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
Thanks to everyone who joined me today! I had a blast visiting with everyone. ❤️
Happy Friday, friends! I've rolled out a new series over on my YouTube Channel where I do weekly Lives. While I know that Live videos aren't for everyone, I know that there are also a lot of you who enjoy a Live video/chat or even a replay! I am really loving being able to connect with you all and chat while creating a card or two or in today's case some Christmas in July Gift Tags!

Welcome to Day 2 of my last minute Handmade Holiday 2020 Series!
I'm back with my seventh year of last minute handmade ideas! (Last year was rough emotionally and I actually only got one video up but I'm still going to count it.)
Thank you so much for your support of this series. I appreciate each and every one of you and y'all make this possible. Much love to everyone.
The goal of this series is adding handmade touches to gifts for our friends and family. Even with the craziness of the season I like to be able to personalize the gifts under our tree. Over the next few days I'll be sharing ideas for cards, tags and gift wrapping sure to add that handmade touch we all love. Most ideas will include multiples (today I created 3 snow globe shaped feline spinner gift tags)!
Each Handmade Holiday project blog post will feature a brand new, never before seen project(s) plus an incredible giveaway from.... me!

Spinner tags have been one of my most liked Handmade Holiday projects over the years. Check out the Reindeer Spinner Tags HERE and the Sheep Spinner Tags HERE. This year's spinner tags feature the darling Simon Says Stamp Feline Like Christmas Stamp Set and the Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Snow Globe Add On Dies to make spinner tags. Because these are a bit more labor intensive, I only created 3 tags. You could easily make more by cutting out a few of the extra steps as I mention in the video above. Let's get started!

With all the gnome projects I've shared lately, I had asked on one of my YouTube videos if you wanted to see gnome-shaped gift tags and that was an overwhelming "yes"! We will be creating shaped tags with all four gnomes from Simon Says Stamp: Gnome (the original), Lil Gnome, She Gnome, and Deco Hat Gnome (please note I opted to use the plain hat version instead of the deco hat for this gnome).

Happy Saturday! I am so glad you're here! Today I have a set of holiday cards and tags created with brand new Simon Says Stamp Holly Jolly Release background stamps and stencil. I love how just three backgrounds can be used with many different products for different looks depending upon the other products used. Today I'm showcasing the Holiday Words Background, Outline Merry Christmas Background, and Scattered Stars Stencil. While I had the supplies all out I went ahead and stamped or stenciled die cut Nested Tags to make a fun assortment of gift tags for the upcoming holiday season. Next time you're creating cards, try making some gift tags, too! The smaller size is fun and you will already have some tags on hand when it comes time to wrap gifts!

Hi sweet friends! I've got another house-themed post for you today! I loved creating THIS house card so much that I wanted to share another idea on creating house-themed gift tags with you!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of this house themed Christmas gift tags from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
These house shaped gift tags were inspired by THIS house shaped card. The small size of the Lawn Fawn Build A House Dies and Build A House Christmas Add On make them perfect for gift tags! I'm always looking for creative ways to use my card dies as gift tags and this year, I'm all about the house-themed products!
The pieces were assembled as shown. More elements were die cut and adhered back to back on the design for the finished effect on the back of the tags.
"To" and "From" sentiments from the Build A Snowman Stamp Set were stamped on the back of the house shaped tags with Lawn Fawn Lobster Ink. A greeting form the Ho Ho Postage Stamp Set was stamped on the red die cut front door with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard was applied to the bows for a touch of sparkle.
Holes were punched in the top of the tags and red and white baker's twine threaded through to finish!

Welcome to Day 1 of my last minute Handmade Holiday 2019 Series!
I'm back with my sixth year of last minute handmade ideas! SIX years, y'all! Wow. Thank you so much for your support of this series. I have been overwhelmed and almost considered not doing the series this year but I kept getting emails and comments asking for it so I sat down to make a list of projects I could do and I got really excited. This series is for YOU crafting friends. I appreciate each and every one of you and y'all make this possible. Much love to everyone.
The goal of this series is adding handmade touches to gifts for our friends and family. Even with the craziness of the season I like to be able to personalize the gifts under our tree. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be sharing mostly quick (an hour or less) Handmade Holiday ideas for cards, tags and gift wrapping sure to add that handmade touch we all love. Most ideas will include multiples (today I created eight gift tags)!
Each Handmade Holiday project blog post will feature a brand new, never before seen project(s) plus an incredible giveaway from a generous sponsor!
SCALLOP SQUARE & CIRLCE GIFT TAGS
Tags are always a big part of my Handmade Holiday Series. My 2019 series will feature a lot of different gift tags. These traditional colors tags feature stamps, dies, patterned papers, and gems from Honey Bee Stamps. Dimension was created with wreaths and poinsettias on the tag fronts. My goal with tags is to make them pretty enough for the recipient to use them on their tree or in another way after the gift has been given! To see some of the gift tags from past years please click HERE.
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
To watch the creation of these holiday gift tags from start to finish, click HERE or watch below:
These tags were created "assembly-line" style, meaning I did all the die cutting first, then assembled the wreaths, the poinsettias, the bows, etc. I added glitter and spray to the wreaths and poinsettias and then assembled the tag bases before putting it all together. This project from start to finish (die cutting to final assembly took 2 hours).
The wreaths were created by die cutting Hero Hues Meadow and Palm cardstock with the Joy Noel Wreath Dies and layering one wreath on top of the other. Ranger Mulit Matte Medium was lightly applied to some of the wreath and Hero Arts Icicle Glitter was sprinkled over the wreaths for a touch of icy sparkle!
Gems from the Holiday Traditions Crystal Gems or Rainbow Crystal Gems were adhered to the wreaths as "berries" for extra sparkle! These little gems are so much easier than trying to add die cut berries. You could also use small sequins or Nuvo Crystal Drops!
Each tag was finished by threading through a bit of red and white baker's twine.
