Hop Hop TAG...

Ever get the feeling you're being watched?? I do, in fact

 I had this exact same creepy feeling about this time last year.

I better keep my eyes and ears open.....

WEIRD...oh well, I'll just shake that feeling off 

so we can get ON with our Design Team HOP!

Today we will hop hop hop our way around to each design team member's
blog to see a little inspiration for you. Our hop theme this month is "TAGS".

1. Make sure you are a follower of this blog if you are not already.(It is the only way to win hop prizes.)

2. Leave us some love in the comments below
(let me know you are a follower of this blog)

3. Come back tomorrow to see if you are
the winner of a $10.00 shopping spree AND a GUEST DESIGNER Spot!

I LOVE making gift tags, wanna know why? It helps me use up a ton of scrap paper, AND it stocks up my craft fair inventory. These tags are SUPER quick and easy to make.

 1. Cut a piece of paper  6" x 3"
(I like to use Card Stock weight Design paper that is white on one side)

2. Score your paper on the 6" side at 3" (or right in the middle)

3. Fold in half DP on the outside

4. Using a punch, round the bottom of each corner - don't forget the back panel

5. Cut a 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" square of plain color card stock, and decorate, and adhere to the front panel of the gift card.

6. I punched a small hole in the upper left corner, cut some waxed twine 12" long, pair up the ends and fold in half. Then thread it through the hole and tie a knot.

For these two tags I used a sentiment stamps from my
Christmas set titled "Wishing You". 

I put this set on DEAL OF THE DAY

today, if you want to buy this set and create some tags

like this of your own.

I used two different inks to create a blended look on this first tag.
I LOVE doing that...it really makes the sentiment more festive!

Then I popped on a little holly berry sticker from K&Company.
I am not a fan of stickers, but I do LOVE those layered accent ones.

 For this tag I used a stamp from my set titled " Jingle Jangle"

I used a gold glitter pen on the bells, but they don't look as good in
the photo as they do in person.

In person those bells SPARKLE and SHINE bright!



At my craft fairs I sell these in packs of 4 for $1.00.

I make more than just Christmas tags for my fairs. I have

wedding ones, birthday ones, etc. No matter which ones

I have on hand, they always sell out fast!

THANKS for hopping my blog today! I am really glad you came!

Don't forget to leave me some love, and good luck!

Now for my Hop Project: An Organizer Tote! I created this beauty from scratch AND without the aid of a template (what was I thinking??) I used stamps from my "Friendship" set - which is currently sold out. All in all it took me about 6 hours to figure out and complete. I am planning on giving it to one of my best friends for her 40th birthday in a couple weeks. She can use it to hold 4x6 note cards (which I will give her, and will match the outside design). AND AND AND you know what? You could actually use it to hold CCS Stamp Sets! I tried it, and the big sets fit perfectly! Talk about a WOOT WOOT! So how much do you think I could get for something like this if I included the matching note cards? I have craft fair season on my mind, cause the season will start way before I am ready - per USUAL! lol

Thanks for Hopping by, and enjoy your day!
