November 2022

Happy Monday! We’re here today to reveal our newest collection called All Wrapped Up!

With so many mix and match options for these products, I have been busy for days just exploring all of the fun options.

Now that we’ve introduced all of the new products, shall we get to the projects?! I’m ready!

Last week I shared several sneak peeks of my paper crafting/gift wrapping “charcuterie board”. Here is the board in full! So many fun goodies to add to my tags and wraps as we go through the holiday season (I’ve already burned through a lot of it…NEED to make more!).

First let’s take a look at the assortment of tags I created using the products from this new collection…

I’ll show a close-up of each and share a little more info about each. I also have some short videos that I’ll share in the coming days via Instagram and our Youtube channel.

First is this pair of cute boho ornaments with crocheted details using our new Round About Winter Foliage die. I’ll be sharing a short video in the coming days, showing how I put these together, but it’s pretty simple.

I layered two of the Round About dies, keeping the foliage at the bottom, leaving the top edge as just a ring so that I could crochet around it. After I finished adding the crochet detail, I looped a small Crimped Circle Tag to it using some twine, and also added some wood beads. The sentiment was stamped with the new Tagged Elegance set.

Next is this pretty wreath tag, again using the Round About Winter Foliage die. This time I diecut and layered four of them, rotating them around the circle to create a full, pretty wreath. I used the new BotaniCuts Mistletoe die to add the red berries. I attached the wreath to the larger Crimped Circle Tag from the set. I tied the whole works to a second Crimped Tag die, which was foiled with a to/from sentiment using our Tag Team Duo Hot Foil Sentiments.

Next up we have a nice little pile of these wonderful slim tags using the new Tear Strip Tags die and stamps. I love this concept, how quick and easy they are, and the fun modern shape. I left some of them intact and I’ll snip them apart as I use them. The clustered sentiment stamps in the matching stamp set make these come together so quickly!

This final pair of tags uses our new Banner Gift Tag die, layered over the larger circle tag from the new Crimped Circle Tags die set. The Banner Gift Tag can be super quick by just using the one-piece to/from circle, or you can step it up a bit by layering the individual words and banners over the base to make multi-colored/layered designs. I did a little of both here. The banners are the perfect place to write the names of the giver/receiver. I added a few sprigs and blooms from our Winter Medley die to embellish them just a bit.

Gift wrapping is one of my favorite things during the holidays, but I have to admit, I often cringe when the pretty ribbons and faux greenery sprigs end up in the trash at the end of the party. That’s one of the reasons I’m so excited about the next products I’ll be showing!

Our Ribbon Maker dies are designed to cut paper ribbons, and our Loopy Bow Builder die is perfect for adding paper bows. Add as many loops as you want…from simple bows with just a couple of loops, to super-duper loopy bows.

All of the new Big Branches dies are perfect for adding greenery and sprigs to packages. They are a great size, a little larger than some of our other products, and will definitely make a statement on a package. And again, since they’re just paper, no more worrying about them getting discarded once the gifts have been opened. I’m loving the warm and homey look that the Dried Citrus slices are giving to all of my packages as well.

I’ve shown you lots of gift wrap and tag options using our new All Wrapped Up collection, but these products are perfectly at home on cards as well. I have a few to share with you today!

First up is a pair of cards using the new BotaniCuts Mistletoe die layered over some gorgeous tone-on-tone backgrounds done with the new Ribbon Maker: Large Scallops die.

The Loopy Bow Builder is perfect for adding to the top of the mistletoe bunch, and the new Tear Strip Tags die and stamps are a great way to add a sentiment tucked under the bow. I added lots of frosty glitter to my mistletoe bunches. The backgrounds were simply done by layering strips that were diecut with the Ribbon Maker: Large Scallops die. I chose two shades of read and two shades of green cardstock that were just slightly different from each other to add just a little more depth to the tone-on-tone effect. The different reds didn’t come through in the photos, but it’s a bit more obvious in real life.

Up next is a card that uses the new Dried Citrus Slices die. I just love these! I created a whole pile of them in different shades to look like dried oranges and blood oranges, lemons, and grapefruits.

I once again used the Ribbon Maker: Large Scallops die to create the background. I diecut them from white and layered them over a tan cardstock base. Then I built a pretty focal point using the Dried Citrus, Big Branches: Pine and Baby’s Breath, and the Loopy Bow Builder. The sentiment was hot foiled using the Tag Team Duo Sentiments and cut with the hexagon die from the Tag Team Duo die set.

Next I have a card that uses the new Round About Winter Foliage die. I love this die for tags and toppers, but it’s wonderful for cards as well. Here I diecut and stacked four of the Round About dies to create a quick and easy wreath.

I again added some berries using the BotaniCuts Mistletoe die. The Ribbon Maker: Small Stripes die makes a great backdrop for the wreath. I also topped it off with a Loopy Bow Builder diecut. The sentiment inside my wreath is from the new Tagged Elegance set.

My last project for today is a set of four “nature box” cards that I had so much fun creating. I used the Big Branches dies and enclosed them inside a large shaker that was made using the Curio: Cover die. I love how they look like pressed greens inside the frames!

Inside the shaker I enclosed the Big Branches Pine, Eucalyptus, Baby’s Breath and Ruscus, along with some faux snow and Snowfall Sequins. I stamped on the acetate using the “winter wishes” and “thank you” sentiments from the new Tagged Elegance set using white ink.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today! If you’re ready for more, keep scrolling to see a whole lot more from the team…

Now that you’ve gotten to meet all of today’s new products and see them in action, you can “greet” them for a chance to win a prize! We’ll be giving away TWO $50 gift cards for today’s blog hop.
