Holiday TAGplorations Party

Over at STAMPlorations, we are partying down with a Holiday TAGplorations event. Since there's such a great lineup of beauteous tags, I am gonna keep this post short and sweet! :) 

I created this tag using a patchwork of holiday patterns that I pieced together to make the background. Then I used Trendy Christmas Trees stamp set and coordinating dies to create my Christmas tree and the accompanying sentiment. 

My tag is inspired by this gorgeous tag designed by Naki Rager for at Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags Challenge. I loved the rosette feature, and the traditional Christmas colors. 

So what is the STAMPlorations Holiday TAGplorations event? For the next 5 days, our talented design team will be showcasing tags and also giving YOU the chance to link up a tag of your own through November 25. You can use any stamps you want! There are 10 prizes up for grabs, so link early and often!!  Go check it out HERE! Now get to hopping!

My new stamp set is released today! STAMPlorations Caffeinated Christmas!

Fa la la la LATTE!!! I told you yesterday when I made an adorable hot cocoa holder that my new stamp set would be released today. 

And I wouldn't lie to you, so without further ado - I present to you:

Caffeinated Christmas!

I know I JUST designed another coffee-themed sentiment stamp set, but Shery asked if I would double-down and do a Christmas theme one with... wait for it.... PUNS! So, what we're saying is that it's the trifecta of perfection because it combines all of my great loves: Coffee - check! Christmas - check! Puns - check, check, check! 

This set is so fleeping cute! You can use it on cards, like so:

Dontcha love the plaid? Totally mixed and matched it to try to create a warm and inviting comfy Christmas feel. 

It's also good for making adorable little Christmas gifts like so:

I shared this in yesterday's blog post - with design specifications if you want to recreate it! 

And last but not least - it's PERFECT for holiday tags for little gifties that you want to give:

All of the sentiments for these projects came from my Big Grins by Becca Cruger - Caffeinated Christmas set. The adorable coffee cup stamps are from the Sketchy Coffee Cups set.
