Welcome to the November 2021 IRBH! This month’s theme is Pretty Packages & Tags, and we’re featuring Christmas gift packaging. I used the All Dressed Up Dies with the Merry Snowflakes Bundle (Merry Snowflakes stamp set and Stitched Snowflakes Dies) and the Whimsy & Wonder designer Series paper to create a cute little bag that can hold any number of small gifts.

Welcome to the September 2020 Inking Royalty Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are enjoying a year of celebrations. This month’s projects are all about Halloween. I used the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set, Essential Tag Punch, and Fancy Label Punch to create tags for this cute and scary little treat bag. The candies inside are Bloody Bones Sweet Tarts Candy. Ooooooo spooky! You can buy them here.
Prepare yourself for a wonderful mix of spooky, scary and sweet. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person, Ann Murray at Murray Stamps Ink, on the list you can see when you scroll down. Be sure to hop around to ALL the stops, because you definitely want to see all the projects this group has created for you!

Here’s what I did:
Stamped with the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set:
raven in cage in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Real Red CS
Cut using the Essential Tag Punch:
stamped image and sentiment
Cut using the Label Me Fancy Punch:
a hole in the top of each tag
NOTE: I found it a little difficult to line up the punch exactly where I wanted it, so I drew a tiny dot on the tags where I wanted to punch, then positioned each tag so I could see the dot through the hole in the punch. Easy Peasy!
Put it all together:
put candies in a Mpsaic Gusseted Cellophane Bag and tied the top with a piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
black and white twine run through the 2 tags and tied around the top of the bag, tying a small bow in the back
For the photo, I glued the tags together so you could see both at the same time. You can leave them loose if you prefer.

My husband and I have a Halloween party every year, and this year’s theme was going to be “What’s black and white and red all over?” Unfortunately we had to cancel it this year. But I just realized as I was typing this post that those are the colors of my project today. I’m sure that fact was floating around in the back of my brain somewhere as I made the tags.

Welcome to the August 2020 PPP Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called World’s Greatest, and it’s all about celebrating the heroes in our lives. You can celebrate a teacher, friend, coach, kid, or anyone else you think is the greatest. For my projects, I used the kit along with some extra card stock to create a card and gift bag. I used the ribbon on the card to make it look more like a race medal than a blue ribbon prize. My husband used to be a runner and triathlete, so there’s quite a collection of these medals in our house. I used glue and Stampin’ Seal for my projects, but you can absolutely use the glue dots that come with the kit. You could also use Stampin’ Seal+ or Tear & Tape.
Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops so you can see all the great alternative projects made with this fun kit by this talented group.
