Thankful Forest Friends | The Maui Stamper

I know. I’ve used another retired stamp set this month. You’ll have to forgive me as I create these calendars…well, about now! And the Holiday catalog and all it’s beautiful images is sitting right there on my desk.

Stamps: Thankful Forest Friends (Holiday 2015, retired)
Color Palette: Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Tangelo Twist, Wild Wasabi
Accessories: Paper Snips, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Write markers

I’ve begun to include Paper Snips in my Project Recipe when I fussy-cut an image. If you haven’t taken the leap and treated yourself to this indispensable tool, I urge you to give them a try. They aren’t expensive ($10) and you will be amazed by the precise work they make possible. Stuff your stocking!

Check out what Crystal and Cheryl have done this month.

I’m captivated with these treat bags made from glassine sheets – it’s such a distinctive look! Left alone, they look old-fashioned, but when you run them through a TIEF they are right on trend.

I used Stampin’ Write markers to color the image. I wouldn’t want to do 50 of them this way, but it’s enjoyable to do a few. The Rich Razzleberry ribbon from the Holiday Catalog is soft and has a lovely heft and it will stay in place.

You could put this tag on a card, on a gift package, around a bottle or jar, or even tuck it into a lunch box or briefcase.
