Cute Elf Tags

By on October 10, 2025 in Uncategorized

Hello! Today I have some cute Elf Tags to share, with a video! These are so cute and quick to put together, so if you need a Christmas Tag idea…look no further!

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

These tags are so fun, and I’m sharing 6 tag ideas for you today with these Elves! But that’s not all, I also have some Christmas Portrait tags to share using the tag dies as well:

These little images fit perfectly on the tag dies. So fun and easy…and this stamp set also has the “to, from” and “a gift for you” stamps for your tags.

Next, I had to play with making some elf cards using these same dies! They do make cute cards too.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support! 








		
		
			
			
		
	





I love the little Elf tag holding onto a ticket tag! So fun…and you can certainly add as much detail (or as little) as you want!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I hope you enjoyed these projects today! Thanks for stopping by.

Halloween Shaker

Hello! Today I have a Halloween full shaker card to share with the new Freshly Boo’d stamp set from Miss Ink Stamps. It’s a cutie!





Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I stenciled the background with the Web stencil, but added another layer with a transluscent embossing powder using Coffee Rings (can you see it in the background)? It’s subtle and ghostly!






		
		
			
			
		
	





The shaker pieces inside are from a new mini die set that makes the PERFECT accents or shaker bits! I love them.





I cut my own acetate for this full panel shaker using the Postage Seal and Shaker Collection dies from Miss Ink. The largest die cuts out the perfect A2 shaker panel.

Feeling Batty?
By  on September 30, 2025  in Halloween, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a new Feeling Batty shaped card to share…in the shape of a Candy Corn! I’m creating with some products I absolutely love to mix and match. Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I love making these shaped candy corn cards…and I share a bunch of them in the video! It’s fun to switch up the colors, too. For today’s card I’ve created my own sentiment with the Mix and Match alphabet die (one of my absolute new favorites)! The bat image is from the new Let’s Get Spooky stamp set.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I created a second one with the Candy Corn die on an A2 sized card (4 1/2 x 5 1/2″) so you can get a feeling for the size of it. Of course, the color scheme is the newest candy corn flavor: Blackberry Cobbler. I’ve never tried it, but I hear it’s delicious!

This new set is so fun to create scene cards and little farm scenes. I love it…and there’s multiple different spider webs you can use with sayings woven into them like “greetings,” “terrific,” “some teacher,” and more!

Potion Bottles

Hello! I’m so excited to share some new Potion Bottles projects with you, using some new products from Whimsy Stamps. Watch the video below or on YouTube:













I had a great time making these potion bottle treat boxes, but I also made MANY more samples and I just couldn’t stop creating with these new sets! Whimsy Stamps really knows how to do Halloween!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I created these tags into shakers and added my own sentiments using the Mix ‘n Mingle Alphabet die set. I love creating my own sentiments with this alpha die: Newt, Eep, and Spooky!






		
		
			
			
		
	





For each of these, I broke into the Washi Tape labels for the front of these bottles, and created faux shakers using some fun embellishments: half-bead pearls for the frog warts, and eye stickers for the pickled eyeballs.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Next, I created some cards using the Terrific Tickets Layering stencil…these fit great inside the potion bottles! I cut the cork tops with real cork paper!






		
		
			
			
		
	





Then of course, I HAD to create a poison bottle…the dies in the Potion Bottles die set are perfect for this!
