I'm back ...

...with Christmas ephemera and tab clusters! I've been having such fun with some of the new stamp and die sets for Christmas 2024. So much fun that I have forgotten to post. My apologies, crafty friends. I'm sure you understand how that goes when you are in a zone. You don't want to stop! Well, that's me, anyway. LOL But now, let's get to it.

First I started by cutting out some tags, tabs, labels, etc. then I stamped a ton of images. Aside from maybe one or two, these are from the 2024 release by Crafty by Toni. I'm in love. The few that are not Toni's are Heidi Swapp from previous years releases. 

Here is the first batch I did. I have used many of the stamped images and cut pieces on tags, tabs, and even some tickets. 

A closer look.
The tickets and the "dear santa" and elves are from Heidi Swapp. 

In the second batch, I cut several of Heidi Swapp's ribbon slide dies and stamped on them directly. These will be so cute on gift packages.

A closer look.

Here you can see the cute ribbon slides are little better. 

For the third batch, I cut my own jumbo whale tail tabs. I have the smaller punch, which I used above, but then I made some giant ones from large die cut circles using just a pair of scissors. I think they turned out pretty cool. You can see the size comparison below; the regular punches are the few at the bottom of the photo.

Here are more of the regular sized whale tail punches, plus a couple of "tokens" I made and another ribbon slide, which I made without a die.  

And again, more of the jumbo sized whale tail tabs I cut from circles. I really like how they turned out, and there is so much more real estate to work with for adding fun stuff! 

I hope these fun goodies were worth the wait. I am most certainly not finished with Christmas makes by any means (I still have to finish my Christmas cards - yikes!!) but you can see I haven't been sitting idle. LOL 

Also, part of these past weeks have had me redoing the studio once again. I needed a change and more worktop space so it became necessary to tackle a redo. It's not 100% just yet, but pretty close. I'm liking the new arrangement better already. Ok, till next time, toodles!
