I created a couple of sets of tags to build up my tag stash as the holidays continue to sneak up on us. These were created using some new Speed Tagging Prints papers that coordinate with our Speed Tagging die. In case you’re not familiar with our Speed Tagging collection, here’s a quick video showing these papers and the matching die in action…

This first set of tags uses the Classic Christmas Speed Tagging Prints. I paired these tags done in classic Christmas colors with some natural elements…acorns from the BotaniCuts Mighty Oak set and pine cones from the BotaniCuts Pine Bough set.

I also incorporated lots of stamped leaves and sprigs using the All Blessings Flow stamp set. I love the classic colors and prints in these papers. And it’s so satisfying to run that big tag die through my die cutting machine and cut all those cute tags all at once! 😊

The sentiments were all stamped using the Speed Tagging Christmas Sentiments stamp set. I didn’t add strings to the tags – I’ll do that when it’s time to tie them onto the gifts. For several of them, I adhered two identical tags together so that I could put a sentiment on the outside and a to/from on the inside. I just scored along the top edges of the tags and glued them together at the tops, above the scored line.

My second set of tags uses the new Happy Christmas Speed Tagging Prints and of course again the matching die. The Happy Christmas prints are done in brighter, more non-traditional holiday colors.

I once again used lots of sprigs from the All Blessings Flow set, but this time instead of pine cones and acorns, I paired them with some snowflakes from the Snowflake Soiree stencils and dies done in bright colors to match the tags.

I think I made pretty good progress on my tag stash, don’t you think?

Besides the new Speed Tagging Prints that were added to the shop today, we have a few other goodies as well.

Chocolate Crumbles & Holiday Sprinkles
We have some extra chocolate crumbles and holiday sprinkles from our Hug in a Mug Embellishment kits. These adorable non-edible clay accents are perfect to pair with our Hug in a Mug or Sweet Treats dies. These sweet sprinkles will not be restocked – once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Before I go, we need a sneak peek! Next week we’ll be showcasing our newest collection called Winter Wanderer. It’s filled some some really pretty stamps and dies…a little wintery, a little boho, and a lot of fun! Here’s a peek of some of what’s to come…

Have a great weekend! I’ll be back Monday with another sneak peek and then we’ll kick off the full reveals and projects on Tuesday. I hope you’ll join us!
