Here is Kendra with this weeks Whoo Hoo Wednesday featuring the Halloween Tags! Hugs, Joanna
Do you know what day it is?
Wednesday, right!
But better yet, it's.....
Whoo Hoo Wednesday!!
It's time for another Whoo Hoo Wednesday tutorial with Inspired By Stamping's wonderful stamps!!
Today, I decided I would share an easy tutorial with you on some fun little treat packages I created!
I just LOVE the new Halloween Tags set!! This set is so fun to use to create Halloween packages! With my little guy starting 4K this year, I was excited to use this set to create some treats for his classmates!!
1. Cut black cardstock 8 1/2" x 3" for base and score on the long side at 3/4" and 2 3/4".
2. Cut designer paper at 3 1/2" x 2 3/4" for the front panel. Cut a piece of designer paper in contrasting pattern for the bottom panel at 2 3/4" x 1/2".
3. Ink all the edges with black ink.
4. Place your package of M&M's under the little flap. Use a stampler to add a staple in the center.
5. Then add your little piece of paper to cover the staple.
6. Add the front piece of paper.
7. Finalize by adding embellishements. On a few of them I added a belly band, which measures 7" x 1". Then I added the Halloween Tag.
Here are the six I created for his classmates!
I love how they turned out! So cute and fun for the little kids!
You can also add ribbon and gems if you like, I tried to keep them clean and simple, since they are going to little four year olds.
Some close-up pictures of the packages:
Isn't this Halloween Tag set fun?!?! I sure think so!!
These would be great for birthday favors, wedding favors or any other holiday/party favors!
As I mentioned before, I have had so much fun creating cute little projects with this set!!
Make sure to check out the IBS store for all the wonderful products!
Have a wonderful day!
Hello blog friends! I hope this week has been a beautiful one for you! Today, was the first time I was able to sit in the craft room this week. It is such a happy place. I could stay there all day.
My three beautiful kiddos have two days left of school before they are on school holidays for 2 weeks. I think I am ready. LOL! It is Spring here in Australia so I am sure we will be jumping in the pool and having a couple of beach days too. And fingers cross there will be a couple of sleep-in mornings.
This week over at the Inspired by Stamping Inspiration Challenge we have a gorgeous inspiration photo for you to try! Please use the colors, RED, ORANGE and CREAM as your main colors! Also don’t forget to head on over to see some amazing creations from our guest designer and design team. Click Here to View!
I grabbed the new Fancy Sentiments and Fancy Labels 3 Stamp Sets for my fall birthday card.
Here is a close up photo. I also layered my ribbon using White Seam Binding Ribbon and some Red Satin Ribbon, which is also a little sneaky peek.
Some new IBS flowers in the corner with a double bow were added to the corner of my card.
At first, I wasn’t sure I liked this card so I made this little tag below also.
I used the NEW Halloween Tags stamp set and a Oval die to cut the image out.
A 2 Tone Red Flower, a double bow, crochet fabric tape and some New Orange Satin ribbon was added for my glam.
I hope you have time this week to make a creation for the Inspired by Stamping Challenge. We love seeing your gorgeous artwork! Thank you for joining us!
ONLY 10 more days for the Inspired by Stamping September Sale. After Sept 30 prices will return to normal!

Halloween Tags
My first project features the Halloween Tags stamp set! I had so much fun creating this little window box frame filled with Halloween goodness!
I first created 6 boxes from a Sizzix Die. Next, I used some Halloween Paper and adhered all this amazing paper to the inside of each box.
All the stamps in this new set will fit inside a die or punch! Perfect for quick cutting! I stamped each label and tag and adhered it to the inside of each box.
To put together each box, I used some Sticky Strip Red Tape! This tape was amazing to hold each box together. For some extra adhesion, I also added some Fabric Tape! This worked beautifully and added a touch of shabbiness to my project.
I decorated each box with flowers, leaves and rhinestones! I then adhered to each side brown satin ribbon so that I can hang this beauty up in the house for Halloween!
Elegant Christmas Sentiments
As some of you saw a few weeks ago, I went paper shopping! The Christmas and Halloween paper is the best I have ever seen! And I am so excited to use all my goodies! The paper pairs up beautifully with Inspired by Stamping Stamps!
I used the “Merry Christmas” sentiment and a snowball border along the border of my sentiment. I tied two double bows and then adhered them using some glue.
I placed pearls on each corner and stitched along the edges for some shabbiness!
For my second project using the Elegant Christmas Sentiments, I made a 5x5 Christmas card using the NEW Inspired by Stamping Inspiration Challenge Sketch.
Here is a close up of my sentiment and the new snowflake border available on Friday!
Halloween Labels Revisited!
My last card features the Halloween Labels Stamp set. If you missed yesterday’s post featuring this fabulous stamp set, CLICK HERE!
I stamped my image using Memento Black ink and cut it out using the Spellbinder Label 4 die. I colored my moon a light yellow. I love how it just makes the moon pop out with color!
2 New Black Flowers and a New Brown Flower was added to the corner of my card.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope that you enjoyed this month’s release as much as we did! I had such a blast creating with these stamps! These will be available tomorrow! Whoo Hoo!
Please hop on over to visit the design team to be inspired by more fun creations!

Halloween Labels
The first project that I want to share with you features the Halloween Labels! This 6x8 stamp set is filled with spooky labels and sentiments! Perfect for all your Halloween decoration and party needs!
I grabbed these old medicine bottles that I have had for a few years and decorated them with different Halloween paper, stamps and décor.
I grabbed some old spider rings from a Halloween party that we had a few years ago and attached them to each bottle with some glue.
A new Orange Flower available at the Inspired by Stamping Store!
I tied a few bottles with some packaging twine! I used Echo Park Halloween Paper with these bottles.
My next project again features the new Halloween Labels available Sept. 14th! For this project, I bought a canvas for $3 and decorated it.
Cream Crochet Fabric Tape was used along the center of the canvas to separate the different papers! All the paper I used was from My Mind’s Eye Halloween Collection.
I glued a strip of Crochet Trim to the bottom of the canvas. 2 orange flowers were dusted with gray distress ink to make them spooky!
New Brown Satin Ribbon will be available on Sept 14th! This Chocolate Ribbon matched perfectly with my paper and details.
2 double bows were added to the corner of my canvas. Another peaky from this set is the “Happy Halloween” sentiments. I created a tag with it and distressed it to make it look old and dusty.
Pumpkin Faces
Pumpkin Faces is the second stamp set to feature today! This 4x4 set was a blast to create with lots of laughs from my kids. I made this banner to go in the kitchen! It brings such a smile to my face!
I used the Stampin Up! pennant die cut to cut out each pennant and with Echo Park Halloween paper.
I then use a scallop circle and regular circle Spellbinder Die for each center image.
Some chipboard letters colored with a Black Copic Marker was adhered at the bottom of each pennant.
To adhere the pieces together, I used some NEW Black Seam Binding Ribbon and White Crochet Fabric Tape. This adhered the pennant perfectly to the ribbon. I then added some new Inspired by Stamping Flowers!
Fancy Sentiments
My last two cards features the Fancy Sentiments 4x6 stamp set!
I paired up my sentiment with the Fancy Labels 18 stamp set. The Fancy Labels work beautifully with this new stamp set!
I also used some White Seam Binding ribbon available next month, Inspired by Stamping Crochet Trim, Mixed Flowers and some buttons and rhinestones!
My last card today again features the Fancy Labels 18 stamp set and Fancy Sentiments too.
I cut out my paper using the Labels 2 dies. I then cut out a circle in the center of my pattern paper and lifted it using dimensionals. I loved the frame look that this created for my sentiment.
New Brown Satin Ribbon was used to make this adorable double bow. I then placed a White Daisy flower on my bow.
I hope you enjoyed today’s creations using the NEW September release items! The design team has some amazing and spooky creations to share with you today!

This month we are featuring all the sets on each day. So my first CAS card uses the Mason Jar Add On II! I love this set with its sweet sentiments and labels.
I used Pink Gingham and Pink Floral Washi Tape. I love this close up of how beautiful the two colors coordinate together. I also used a smaller strip of Crochet Fabric Tape.
I used some Melissa Frances polka dot paper and a Spellbinder Lacey Square Die for my center. I then cut out my label and lifted it using some dimensionals. A pink and 2 light yellow flowers were added to the corner for some extra glam.
My second card features the new Mason Jar stamp set and Mason Jar Add On II.
I gently colored my Mason Jar using Copic Markers. Crochet Fabric Tape takes center stage again with some glam on my Mason jar with some IBS flowers .
“With Love” sentiment is from the NEW Mason Jar Add On II! I then added a strip of Red Polka Dot Washi Tape and a strip of Crochet Fabric Tape. A gorgeous White Seam Binding bow was added with a blue button and a rhinestone.
My last project today was one that I shared yesterday on the video featuring the Spice Jar Stamp Set we are releasing on Friday. It’s one of my favorites and I am redoing my spice jar with these sweet labels.
This set fits perfect in a Spellbinders Labels 18 die. I dressed it up using some of the Red Gingham Washi Tape.

Here are a few yummy projects that I made over the last few days using the NEW! Washi Tape and Crochet Fabric Tape!
First, let’s talk Washi!
Here are a few close ups of my projects using the New Washi Tape!
We eat a lot of our meals outside on our deck and I always use this tray that my father-in-law made me years ago. My kitchen has splashes of red and so I just couldn’t resist adding some Red Gingham Washi Tape around the outside of my tray. I love how it dresses it up!
Here is a close up of my tray.
Decorating your boxes has never been so easy with Washi Tape! After cutting out your box with the Big Shot place strips of Washi Tape where you want it. Next, put your box together using adhesive. Lastly, decorate it with a gorgeous red IBS flower, labels and rhinestones.
Here is another example of the New Pink Gingham Washi Tape on a cute little Pillow Box.
Next up, Crochet Fabric Tape! This stuff is just amazing! It just takes your crochet trim to a next level with adhesive already stuck to the back. Here is a great video explaining the new fabric tape!
I decorated this sweet little lip balm jar with some new Pink and Floral Washi Tape and White Crochet Fabric Tape.
Here is a close up of my lip balm jar. I love how it just dresses my ordinary jar up so beautifully!
And a close up of this fabulous tag featuring a sneak peek stamp set this month and Washi and Crochet Fabric Tape.
Did I mention the possibilities are endless??!! LOL!
I hope that you enjoyed these video tutorials! For more samples and ideas of the NEW! Washi tape, please stop by Wednesday and Thursday with the amazing Design Team featuring some breathtaking projects and cards!
Welcome my sweet friends! Today is one of those happy dance days! I have been given the honor to be a guest designer for The Shabby Tea Room all month long! Whoo Hoo! I am absolutely honored and excited as The Shabby Tea Room is one of my favorite challenges. So everyone Sunday night/Monday afternoon, I will be featuring some wonderful inspiration for you to get your creative juices flowing. I hope you head on over to all the other wonderful creations the design team created this week!
The fabulous ladies over at TSTR have asked us to create a card or project inspired by the photo below with a food theme and some yummy hearts.
So here is what I designed…
I first grabbed this tin box of my hubby’s. (He gives these away free with a jump drive inside for work) He looked at me funny when I asked him if I could use one of his boxes. LOL! I then grabbed some crochet trim and some craft glue for around the edges of the top of my box. While the glue was drying, I then used some Kraft paper and My Mind’s Eye Blush paper. I painted this gorgeous little chipboard heart with White Acrylic paint and then distressed it. Sweet Valentine’s stamp set gave me my “Love” sentiment which I punched out using the small SU! oval punch. White Seam binding ribbon, a New! flower and some more lace finished off this perfect little tin for Valentine’s Day.
For my card today, I wanted to keep the same colors and papers for a gorgeous coordinating flow. I again used the Sweet Valentine’s stamp set. I also wanted to incorporate the beautiful inspiration photo, so used gingham ribbon, hearts, more new flowers, buttons and a few different pinks to decorate my card.
