Papercraft by Jennifer Frost: Gift Tags

Showing posts with label Gift Tags. Show all posts

Welcome to the very last Stampin' Up! Artisan Design team hop for 2018! Today we are sharing projects featuring the beautiful Frosted Florals Suite.

It's the gift giving season so I created some pretty little gift tags for this assignment. These decorated the goodie bags I handed out to class participants a little while back. They also doubled as name tags or were turned into card embellishments by some of my crafty friends.

I do still have one Instagram tip to go live for Stampin' Up! before my Artisan year is over - so keep an eye out for that! But otherwise, it gives me great pleasure to welcome in the new 2019 team.

I'm super happy to see many friends in the new group. I just know they are going to have some amazing projects to share throughout 2019 and I can't wait to follow their work!

Frosted Florals, Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop

December 21, 2018

It's the season for gift giving and so it's the perfect time for the Let's Get Hopping team to share inspiration for putting together your very own gift tags.

Whether you are dressing up a wrapped present, adding a personal touch to a gift bag, or even making a pretty tag embellishment for a greeting card, you are sure to be inspired by the many ideas in this blog hop!

I know just how hectic December can be! For this reason, I'm sharing some simply stamped creations today. These white tag bases were cut with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and stamped with the brand new 'Incredible Like You' stamp set. This set will be available on the 3rd of January when the latest Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue goes live. If you're in Australia and would like a copy of this catalogue, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Incredible Like You Gift Tags, Let's Get Hopping #16

December 6, 2018

Lots of Christmas craft ideas coming your way today! The Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team are featuring the festive 'Making Christmas Bright' Bundle from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue. For my project, I'm sharing some quick gift tags.

For the tag bases, I watercoloured one piece of Watercolour Card in a mix of Melon Mambo, Petal Pink and Grapefruit Grove. Then I cut it into 8 evenly sized panels once dry.

Each tag was decorated with imagery from the Making Christmas Bright stamp set, stamped in VersaMark and heat set with gold embossing powder.

The adorable 'All is Bright' paper clips made it so easy to attach these to ribbon bows on these gift jars.

I'm a huge jar hoarder - I love having reused jars on hand to fill and gift out. These are filled with a Pumpkin Spiced Trail Mix, this tasty recipe is *HERE*.

Making Christmas Bright, Artisan Design Team Blog Hop

November 16, 2018

The Let's Get Hopping crew are getting ready for the festive season with a special Christmas blog hop today - the only catch - to share a project, any project, so long as it's not a card!

I decided to share a gift idea. I'm a big fan of repurposing jars. Usually, I like to fill them with handmade goodies but this time I've gone with a selection of chocolate treats.

The gift tag features festive favourites from the current Stampin' Up! holiday catalogue, see the supply list below for details.

Christmas, Let's Get Hopping

November 8, 2018

A friend of mine shared this festive Gingerbread inspired body scrub recipe with me in November and I loved it so much I decided to make up a bunch to give as gifts this Christmas. I love gingerbread cookies, so a sugar scrub that smells like this tasty treat is such a sweet way to start the day! Not only does this all-natural scrub smell amazing, but it helps exfoliate and moisturise your skin.

Recipe
GINGERBREAD BODY SUGAR SCRUB

Combine 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2/3 cup raw sugar, 3 drops Cassia essential oil, 3 drops ginger essential oil, 1 drop clove essential oil, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp allspice and 100ml of fractionated coconut oil.

For best results, wash your skin with soap or body wash and rinse well. Afterwards, apply a sufficient amount of sugar scrub to wet skin over your entire body, massaging in a circular motion to allow the granules to remove dead skin cells. Rinse off well. This makes your skin look and feel refreshed and healthy.

Of course, Stampin' Up!'s Cookie-Cutter Christmas stamp set had the perfect little gingerbread man to suit the theme!

The Tag
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Cookie-Cutter Christmas
Inks: Soft Suede, Real Red
Papers: Whisper White, Soft Sky
Accessories/Tools: Cookie Cutter Builder, 7/8" Striped Ribbon, Lots of Labels Framelits, Big Shot, Crumb Cake Classic Weave Ribbon, White Bakers Twine, 1/2" Circle Punch, 1/8" Circle Punch

I'm submitting this project to the Global Design Project 'Home for the Holidays' theme and TGIF 'Last Minute Santa!' Challenges. These handmade gifts were made with love in my home and it's my hope they are bringing my loved ones a taste of the holidays in their homes long after Christmas is over!

Gingerbread Body Scrub

Quirky Critters, Let's Get Hopping, DIY Gift Jar inspiration, Naturally Eclectic, Homemade Muesli Recipe, Jennifer Frost, Stampin' Up!, Watercolor Pencil technique

Confession time, I have a hoarding problem!  Specifically glass jars.  Every time I empty one in my kitchen I clean it up and hide it away - saving it for when I can fill it, dress it up and gift it out.

Reused jars make for a thrifty packaging choice, but are also much more environmentally friendly than new or plastic packaging options - a great fit for my growing green mindset.

The growing jar collection is driving my hubby slightly crazy though, so I asked my "Let's Get Hopping" friends for help. Today the group are sharing some cute DIY gift jar inspiration.

Muesli Bar Muesli

This year I've been handing out a lot of muesli. Yes, you read right, muesli lol... A few years ago I changed my diet to cut out preservatives and quit sugar. I love a bowl of muesli and coconut milk for breakfast in the morning. It's also a yummy topper for fruit and greek yoghurt. Both my kids happily tuck into this for dessert most nights!
While I'm making the weekly batch, it's easy to pop aside in a jar to gift. A few friends have since asked for the recipe so I'm adding this too. See the bottom of the post for details.

Matching gift card

I know my food and gift choices might seem a little quirky to some - what better fit for the gift tag than the very cute "Quirky Critters" Quail. And of course, while you are making a tag, why not make a card to match too!

There is a lot of hype in the Stampin' Up! world at the moment with the impending release of the brand new Stampin' Blends markers, set to go on sale November 1st. I have not got these yet, but I do have the gorgeous watercolour pencil collection that is so fun and easy to work with. I was inspired to pull them out and put them to work here!

MUESLI BAR MUESLI

This recipe is my take on a few favourites I've come across over the last few years. I use the below as loose guidelines when making up a batch - I adjust to what is in my pantry at the time and I kinda guess my measurements but it always works out delicious.

Preheat oven to 150c fan forced.

In a large roasting pan, combine:
- a bag of rolled oats (700 - 900g),
- 1 cup coconut flakes, - 1 cup shredded coconut,
- 1 cup raw buckwheat groats,
- 1 cup chopped nuts (we love macadamias but walnuts, almonds and cashews work well too),
- 1 cup of seeds (I use a mix of sunflower and pepitas), and
- 2 tbsp of cinnamon.

In a small saucepan, add:
- 1 cup of oil (I use half a cup of coconut oil and half a cup of extra virgin olive oil) with
- half a cup of rice malt syrupGently warm and stir until combined.

Stir oil mix through muesli a little at a time until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Put in the oven for 10 minutes. Toss and cook for a further 10 minutes. Toss again and cook for a further 5 - 10 minutes until evenly toasted.

Allow to cool and then store in an airtight container - or glass jar!
