SugarPea Designs Release Week: Christmas Tag Greetings and Tinsel in a Tangle

Welcome to the final day of the SugarPea Designs Holiday Release! I have had so much fun sharing all of the new products that will be available! Today I have a lot to share with you, so let's get started!!!

The team is showcasing a few new sets today, the first one that I will be sharing with you is the new Christmas Tag Greetings (link below). I knew that I would FOR SURE be making a traditional tag set with the images as well as the coordinating tag die, but my mind also couldn't stop thinking how cute a quilted card would be using these amazing new six pointed snowflakes. This card was super fast and easy to put together, just like a quilt block, which is another passion of mine!

For my next project, I thought it would be fun to use all of the images from the Christmas Tag Greetings set to create a little hostess gift. Wouldn't it be fun to give this to your Thanksgiving host/hostess? Or to the hostess of an early holiday party?

To begin, I die cut 9 Snowflake Tags using 3 of each color; red, white and Kraft. I used the same stamping recipe for each tag; stripes at the top, trees at the bottom, gold embossed stars in the middle and of course Santa's sleigh across the top. This is an easy thing to do when you are mass producing cards or tags.

After I had stamped all of the tags, I got to work stamping each of the cute sayings included in the set. I cut a swallow tail from each side and attached it to the tags using foam squares. There are 6 fun sentiments included, so for the last 3, I just used the snowflakes as embellishments.

The box measurements were made after I made all of the tags. I wanted to make sure the box would be deep enough and narrow enough so that the finished tags would be visible through the die cut window. The sentiment that I used on the tag on the outside of the box is from the previously showcased set called Eskimo Kisses

I threaded each tag with black baker's twine as well as a cute red jingle bell. They usually have them every year at the Dollar Tree and I pick them up as soon as I see them. They make great additions to tags and gifts!

Here is a closeup of one of the tags and the super cute sentiment. As you can see, I needed to change up the color schemes depending on what color of cardstock I was working with, but I still kept everything cohesive with the layout.

The tags without the sentiments have a large snowflake in the center as well as a little sequin attached to the center. If you are interested in a pattern and tutorial for the box, just leave me a comment letting me know.

My next card uses the new Tinsel in a Tangle stamp set. I thought a peppermint twist look would be fun to make. I am also giving you a super early sneak peek on this fabulous edger die as well. My mind is already thinking up oodles of ideas using it!

To begin, I colored the penguin and ice cube image using Copic and Prismacolor markers and then used the coordinating Sugar Cut (link below). The white panel is cut and then sponged with Spun Sugar Distress Ink and a few of the coordinating snowflake images stamped here and there using the same ink. The sentiment, which is included, is heat embossed using silver powder onto a strip of red paper. The entire focal image is adhered to a white card base with two strips of red Spots and Stripes pattern paper to really enhance the peppermint feel!
