Stampin' Up's celebrate with tags set is easy to overlook in the 2022 July - January mini catalogue. It doesn't really jump out at you but it definitely deserves a second look. I must admit I bought it mainly for mittens! The mittens in the Celebrate with Tags stamp set are perfect for Christmas cards but there are other images too making this a very versatile set. I love the stitching on the valentines and the coordinating die cuts are fantastic! Of course, the bundle is the best deal.
Make it yourself!
I used the new In Colors, Tahitian Tide and Orchid Oasis together to create this bright and cheery Christmas card. The blending brushes add detail to the embossed background and the Wonderful Snowflakes add a bit of shimmer to highlight the mittens. What do you think of the the colour combo?
The Celebrate with Tags bundle includes hearts, balloons and the adorable mittens. Of course the two tags are wonderful as well. The largest tag is designed to hold a gift card and I really like how it only takes one pass through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine.
The Wintry 3D embossing folder fits in the Mini Cut and Emboss machine creating a slightly narrower layer. To add even more interest, I brushed the edges with the Tahitian Tide ink. The blending brushes are so soft - they really are fantastic!
