Pennant Parade Holiday Tag Set!

I gave each of my customers who ordered from me on Black Friday or Cyber Monday this little tag set.

Weekly Product Highlight...Embosslits & Sizzlits!

Sometimes the smaller accessories for the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine can get overlooked.  So, today I am highlighting Sizzlits Dies and Embosslits Dies!

The Embosslits Dies can be found on page 215 of the Stampin' Up! 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog.

Embosslits are chemically etched dies which include positive and negative image for simultaneous cutting and embossing.  They cut both card stock and designer series paper.

The Sizzlit Dies are located on page 210 of the catalog.  These smaller dies are filled with fun shapes and letters and are perfect for cutting card stock and designer series paper.

NOTE:  Use Sizzlits & Embosslits with the Standard Cutting Pads and Multipurpose platform which are sold with the Big Shot Machine.

To use the Embosslits and Sizzlits Dies, first cut card stock or designer series paper to approximately 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".

Place paper on one side of embosslit and close or for Sizzlit, place paper on foam side of die.

Here is the Big Shot "sandwich" you will use for both embosslits and sizzlits:
  
Multipurpose Platform turned to Tab 1.

Holiday Gift Tags Continued...

Yesterday I shared a tag that I created using left over scraps from recent holiday projects I have been working on.

Today, I am sharing some tags I created using left over embellishments from projects that never quite made it to the final cut.

I'm sure you can relate...You start a project with a certain design in mind and then before you know it the project has evolved into a completely different design and you have pieces & embellishments that you no longer need.  I have a jar that I keep these discarded items in, so I can use them later, just like I did with these holiday tags!

 
Here are the pieces that I had to work with... 

 
I added some ribbon, elastic cord and a few other scraps...

The final results!

 
 
 
   

So, don't throw away your unused pieces, embellishments, etc...

You never know when they will come in handy for a quick gift tag!
