#SimpleStamping Saturday – Tags & More. Welcome to another #SimpleStamping Saturday, and a slightly different project for you this time. Rather than the usual Note Card project, I thought I would highlight one of the hidden gems in the Annual Catalogue, the Tags & More Accessory Kit. It seems hidden away on page 172, but is more front and centre in the Beginner’s Brochure, on page 6 and 7. It teams up with the Delightful Day Stamp Set, which is for so much more than Tags, but today it will be Tags and more Tags.

I have started my look at the Tags & More Accessory Kit by making one of the tags up that is almost a straight lift from the Beginner’s Brochure. These Tags are just so quick and easy to put together and are perfect for all your gift giving needs. The Delightful Day Stamp Set covers pretty much every occasion other than Christmas. It is also a great introduction to 2-Step Stamping.

For my first stepped up project I have introduced some Coastal Cabana Card Stock, some Glitter Dots, a punch (well two actually!) and the Handwritten Background Stamp. The basic tag is the constructed the same way as the Simple version, it just involves a bit more product and a few additional techniques.

The final version of my tag introduces more techniques, with some heat embossing, and a bit more product. But, other than that it is the same basic tag. So I hope that I have shown, again, how easy it is to grow your projects as you acquire more product and skills. I have always been an advocate for buying the best products you can afford when you are starting a new hobby. Using fewer high quality products will give you a much better start in your crafting than using lots of poor quality products that give you poor results. You are far more likely to continue your paper crafting if you get good results.

Now is of course the best time to get more for your money. Until the end of July you can earn discount coupons to spend in August. Spend £45 in July to save £4.50 on your August shopping. You get an additional voucher for EVERY £45 you spend in one order. But there is an even better deal at the moment, which is PERFECT for a new Stamper.
