Oh, JOY! Tin of Tags highlight

For the month of November, Stampin' Up! is offering 9 stamp sets that coordinate with the new Stitched Shapes Framelits at a discount of 25% off .  One of the sets is called Tin of Tags and it is perfect for holiday gift tags.  It is the set in the bottom right corner.

This set is versatile and is perfect for cards too!  Here are 2 cards that I made using the Tin of Tags set, Gorgeous Grunge and the Large Letters Framelits.

For this card, I took a piece of Soft Sky Cardstock and embossed it with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  For the stars around the circle, I placed the circle down first and stamped around it with Dapper Denim Ink.  I added some stars in Crushed Curry Ink, and some Soft Sky splatter from the Gorgeous Grunge set.  I then took the letters that I cut from the cardstock and layered them onto the largest circle from the Stitched Shaped Framelits.  

The "to the world" part of the sentiment was colored with the Dapper Denim Stampin' Write Marker and added to a piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock punched out with the Medium Star Punch.  A little bit of Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon and this card was complete! 

For the "negative" card - I simply took the cutout of the JOY letters and used this as a layer.  I did plan this ahead when I laid the framelits on the Big Shot.  I don't like to waste paper! haha!

The card base is the Thick Whisper White CS - perfect for card bases.  I stamped snowflakes, stars and splatter again using the same colors in the other card.  I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the Soft Sky layer to pop it up and wrapped the bottom of the card with the Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon. 

I love this set for Christmas tags, but I really enjoy when stamp sets can give you more bang for your buck.  Tin of Tags is certainly a set that you can get both cards and tags out of with little effort!

If you'd like to take advantage of this current promotion, you can save 25% through the end of November!  If you're placing an order for less than $150, please use hostess code KFHZAVUZ at checkout.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Be sure to check back tomorrow for the Creation Station Blog Hop.  It's a "thankful" theme!

Blessings,
