Good Tuesday morning my fellow stampers. Happy Autumn everyone!!! How is everyone’s week going? I hope everyone is having a productive one.

I have one more project that we made at our last virtual in person team meeting a week ago Sunday. My awesome team leader Amy designed a Christmas Gift Bag Topper. I was hoping to have a bag full of goodies to display it in. Here is the project.

I started by cutting out the large, medium and small layering poinsettia flowers from a panel of Cherry Cobbler cardstock using the Poinsettia Dies. I cut 3 of the leaves out using the Poinsettia Dies from a panel of Shaded Spruce cardstock. I adhered the flowers together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue in the centers. I adhered the leaves behind the flower using Glue Dots. I added a Beaded Pearl to the center of the flower using a Glue Dot. I cut a sprig die from the Poinsettia Dies out of a panel of Brushed Metallic cardstock and adhered it to the back of the poinsettia using a Glue Dot.

I cut the largest die from the Celebrations Labels Dies out of a panel of the Plaid Tidings 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. I scored and folded the die cut in half. I adhered the poinsettia to the front of the label using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up!
Celebration Tidings Photopolymer Stamp Set in Cherry Cobbler Ink. Using the Banner Triple Punch, I punched the end to make a banner. Using the Banner Triple Punch I made a banner out of a strip of Plaid Tidings DSP. I adhered the 2 banners together with Stampin’ Seal and adhered the banner to the bag topper using Glue Dots.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked this project and will try it. Happy Stamping!!

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard Size) is now available for you to order!!!
Here are the details:

The standard machine comes with all the plates you need to get started. The preorder will not include the replacement plates, but they will be available beginning with the customer launch on September 1.

Note that the Cutting Plates and Adhesive Sheets are already available to order. The optional Impression Mats are not be available; I’ll keep you updated on their availability.

So what sets our machines apart from the rest? Here are some of our favorite features:

Durable machines with high-quality results. The solid steel construction frame and rubber feet that securely grip the work surface produce crisp, clean, precise cutting and beautifully detailed embossing.
Easy to use. The machines and tools are designed for an intuitive die-cutting and embossing experience. For example, all plates are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy reference and use when building your sandwich. And just like the name suggests, our Magnetic Cutting Plates have fully-magnetic surfaces to make it easy to securely position your dies and keep them in place.
Simple to store. The platforms on both machines fold for space-saving storage and they look pretty too–the sleek, clean design suits any crafting space.
Portable. You can use both machines at home or on the go with their folding platforms and ergonomic carrying handles.
