I have been feeling a little busy with back to school and must admit that my stamping has taken the backseat. However, this past weekend I decided to stop making excuses and get to crafting. I thought I would work on some tags for my students as a Halloween gift. Every year I give my students pencils for the major holidays and this year I am going to try to add my own crafty embellishments. For this I started with a cute stamp die from the Celebrations line by Richard Garay, this works perfectly as I plan to stick the pencils through the slot that was created. Next I stamped the legs from one of my favorite Halloween sets from Fun Stampers Journey called "Which Witch"....
After stamping each of the tags, I made 36 by the way, I colored the stripes in with markers using classic Halloween colors of green and purple. The finishing touch was the Happy Halloween sentiment from the same "Which Witch" stamp set. Pretty simple, although the coloring took longer than I expected.
The last step will be to take them to school and stuff the pencils.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy the holiday season!
