Check out these great cards created by Tricia Ulberg using the products included in our January 2011 Hip Kit. Tricia fabulous work - I love them all, but I think the "You're  My Style" is my favorite.

Here is a great collection of projects created by Tricia Ulberg using the products included in our November 2010 Hip Kit & Add-On Kit(s).   I love how she took the Maya Road Chipboard Pennant Banner pieces and turned them upside down to create little christmas trees on her "Joy" layout.  For those of you who didn't order our November Embellishment Kit, or who haven't ever used Maya Mists before - Maya Mists are awesome for covering chipboard.  They have more pigment and give much better coverage than the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists do.  Notice that Tricia used the Maya Mist to cover the chipboard pieces that she turned into her trees.  This is great stuff and we will definitely be offering it again.  Beautiful work Tricia!

It's the time of year when we are wrapping up Holiday gifts and making them pretty. I love to make my own gift tags for my presents out of scraps I have left over from my scrapbooking stash. it's the perfect way to utilize scraps and it really dresses up your packages!  Tags also look great on scrapbooking pages!

I start by making my tag bases. I like my tags to be about 4" long and 2.5" wide. They can always be bigger or smaller, but I find that this size tag is the perfect "working space" for me. Start by cutting strips of 4" x 2.5" cardstock on a paper trimmer. Then mark off corners with a pencil at  1/4" at the top and sides at the tag. Use a pair of scissors to snip off the corners.

Measure and make a dot with a pencil in the center of the tag at the top (1.25") and use a hole punch to tie string through. Now you are ready to decorate your tags! Note: Almost all the product I used for these tags are in the new November Hip Kit (I live just around the corner from the store so I always get my goodies first! :)

Die-cut chipboard embellishments are great on tags and add dimension.

I thought this little snowman could use a scarf so I tied some bakers twine around his neck.  He looks so warm and toasty!

This is my "Three Trees" tag. You can make Christmas trees by cutting triangles out of scraps of patterned paper. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns!

This is an elegant tag with a scallop lace border on the bottom.  I put a fancy brad through the hole at the top.

Hopefully these ideas have inspired you to add a little personal touch to you holiday gift giving this year.

Happy Holidays!

Here are a couple extra projects by Tricia Ulberg created with our October 2010 Hip Kit & Add-On Kit(s).  She made a great garland incorporating some of the die cut tags and some punched circles.  She strung them together using the twisted ribbon included in our October Ribbon  Add-On Kit,  Great texture and whimsy.  What a fabulous fall decoration.  Fabulous job Tricia!!!
