Taylored Expressions November Studio Challenge

It’s Black Friday and it's time for the Baker's Dozen Studio Challenge and a BIG Black Friday Sale at Taylored Expressions!

And we are releasing a brand new set of Stacklets today - Labels Stacklets 3! This Stacklets set coordinates with Frame It Up 1 die and can be purchased today as part of the sale!

The question for November Baker's Studio Challenge is:

As crafters, we often talk about a hand-crafted Christmas. How much stamping do you do for the holidays?  Do you mail hand-stamped cards, make gift packaging, tags, handmade gifts?  Or do you stamp year-round, but not so much for Christmas?  Please show us some handmade tags and share a tip or two on how to keep stamping fun for the holidays.

I enjoy stamping ALL year but I look forward to creating projects for the holidays. I usually start in October and try to have some cards, packaging and tags ready to go when I need them. Tags can dress up any package, can be created fairly quickly, and are easy to mass produce. 

I am excited about the new Label Stackets  Die Set. I usually use the Frame It Up 1 Die for the base of my tag. Now I can layer my tags!

For this set of tags I am using the Totally Tags Holiday Stamp Set and the coordinating Totally Tags Dies. My papers are from Simple Stories Handmade Holidays. I did all my stamping Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. Here I colored with Copic Markers. Behind the tag I used the Small Layering Doily Die. The holly leaves are cut with one of the dies in the Very Merry Outlines Die Set.  I added rhinestones and twine to tie the tag on any size package. 

Here are cut snowflakes with the Make A Snowflake Die Set, brushed on glue, and sprinkled them with glitter, and added a rhinestone to the center.

The mitten are also cut with a die from the Very Merry Outline Die Set. I also added a button tied with twine. 

Here are used on of my very favorite Taylor Dies, Trim A Tree. I cut the star from glittered paper and added rhinestones. The hill is hand cut and I added a little glitter.
