Clear and Simple Stamps Style Watch November - Issue #3


A tag is just a tag...until today, that is!

I am always inspired to use my crafting materials in an unconventional way...and today is no exception. Treat bags come in every shape and size, and they are so very fun to hand out to friends, family, coworkers, teacher...the list goes on and on.



Today's project is all about using this month's release to create super cute treat bags, and the best part of this project is the versatility.

You're imagination can really run wild once you've mastered a simple technique. With so many holidays and occasions represented in the Tag Lines set, you can make a treat bag for every day of the year.



So sit back, grab your die cuts and get ready for a simple and fun project!

Until Later Loverlies,
Amber
