Whether it was the excitement of creating with a new product or for a special occasion, these were the cards that stand out for me. Thanks so much for visiting me this year. I look forward to sharing more in the coming year!

Whimsy Alpha Personalized Gift Tags {Giveaway}

Tuesday, December 13, 2016

{Giveaway Closed} Congrats Lindsey!!

Hi Guys! During the WPlus9 December Release I was sent an extra set of the new Whimsy Alpha stamps. I asked Dawn if I could give it away to one of you and she generously said, "Yes!"

{Giveaway details and the end of this post}

It's such a versatile set. The font is really cool and goes with so many different styles. Check out these projects and you'll see:
Kara
Yana
Dawn
Kelly

Today I've used it to create personalized Christmas Gift Tags. Who doesn't love getting a gift with their name on it? I always do since finding anything with Kara on it growing up was very rare. That's why I even made a few with my name on them for Ryan to use when wrapping my gifts!

I kept the colors to a minimum and used the Winter Woodland stamp set and dies to accent my tags. I love using kraft bags and kraft wrapping paper so these will go perfectly with that.

The large die cut snowflakes were left over from another project I'm currently working on so they were already cut and it made putting these tags together so much easier.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Good Luck!

Giveaway Details

Simply leave a comment on this post to be entered to win the stamp set. Please leave your comment by Friday December 16, 2016 11:59pm EST and I will randomly select one winner to receive this set!

Below you will find links to all of the products used to create my tags. {affiliate links used}
