This week's challenge at
Shopping Our Stash is "Soft as a snowflake." Think:
Flower Soft, felt, snowflake stamps, papers, bubble stickers, puffy embellishments, flocking, fun flock, fabric flowers,..as long as it has something "soft" on it and/or an element of snow (snowmen, snowflakes, snowy scenes) - it works!
My take on the "soft" challenge is mulberry paper.
This year for Christmas I ordered small calendars from ritzcamera.com for some of our friends and relatives. They are ~4"x4", so they easily fit in an A2 envelope. Sending the calendar alone in an envelope seemed too impersonal, but I didn't want to wrap each calendar nor did I want to make another Christmas card to send with it. I opted for making these tags.
I made this set of 4 tags
completely from scraps! I love that :)
The navy linen card stock, white mulberry paper, silver mirror paper,
Impress indigo blue ink, and the
EKSuccess fibers have been in my stash for 10-12 years. The
SU stamp and coordinating punch have been around for a few years, but I think I had only used it once before now. The newest stash (months old) is the
Twinery "denim" twine and my Cricut cartridge "
Tags, Bags, Boxes & More." I cut the tag @ 4".
Link your "soft" project at
Shopping Our Stash...I can't wait to see what
you make!
Happy Tuesday!

these are GORGEOUS, of course, and sooooo very clever! not to mention a brilliant use of the torn mulberry paper for your "soft" element! FAB♥U♥LOUS!!!
June, You are so inspirational. I really need to get a handle on my scraps. I wanted to tell you I purged an entire drawer. I know it's small, but it's a start right?? I donated all of it to the goodwill. Feels good, and now I have a drawer specifically for Christmas paper that WAS sitting on the floor:)
Thank you for your updates, the room looks great!
