Easy Background Using Masking Paper

One of my favorite tools in my crafty tool kit is my masking paper. It has so many fun uses with stamps, but you can also create some great backgrounds if you don’t have that perfect stencil. For today’s project, I’ll be using masking paper from Inkadinkado along with nesting circle dies to create a fun snowball background for this holiday card.

Farmhouse Style Holiday Tags

Dropping off baked goods at the holidays is a welcome tradition. Why not add a festive tag to go along with the goodies? In today’s post, I’ll show you how to make some pretty farmhouse style gift tags. All you need is any kind of pine branch die cut or even some pretty holly leaf die cuts. For the tag bases, I used Paper Essentials white tags in the large size. A pop of bright, plaid ribbon and some glue dots along with a festive sentiment completes the supply list. I used a sentiment from the Stephanie Barnard/Sizzix Fall Pudgies stamp and die set.
