I went back to my Paper Pumpkin Joy to the World kit and made a tag.

I used my MFT tag dies to cut a tag from the back of one of the card blanks and added a strip of paper which I got from the envelope liner.

I stamped the 'joy' on to the tag and 'to the world' on one of the label die cuts which comes with the kit.

I used one of the flower die cuts and finished the tag with some ribbon from my stash and some gold gems.

I'd like to enter my tag in the following challenges:

Festive Robin Gift Tag for The Little Paper Tree

 

It's Sunday so that means it's time for me to share some more inspiration for The Little Paper Tree online craft shop!

This week I've made a gift tag using the very cute 'Festive Robins' stamp set from Sunshine and Bee Designs sold through The Little Paper Tree:

You can find the set here in the shop.

My little gift tag is a great way to use up leftover pieces of patterned paper!  I used some red spotty paper across the tag base and also to paper piece the robin.  The rest of the robin was paper pieced with kraft card to match the tag base.

The sentiment is from the stamp set - I simply masked off the word 'happy' when I stamped it.

Head over to the shop website here for this stamp set and lots, lots more.  And if there's something you'd like to buy, don't forget to use my DT code helenpapertree to get 10% off your order.

Weekly Inspiration Post for The Little Paper Tree Online Craft Shop

 

It's Sunday so that means my turn to share some inspiration for The Little Paper Tree.

I decided it was time for a little bit of Christmas so I made a very quick and easy card using the super cute Festive Robins stamp set from Sunshine and Bee Designs:

I cut three squares of white card and stamped the three robins, colouring them with Promarkers.  I used one of the sentiments from the stamp set, masking it off to stamp it in two parts.

It's a really easy card to make and would be great for batch making.
