I hope you have enjoyed making these tags along with learning a few new tips, tricks and techniques. There are so many fun goodies and tools that you can use on cards, scrapbook pages, altered items, decor items, etc. The possibilities are endless!

BUT..............the fun isn't over yet!!
The Craft Hop continues next week with 5 more tags.
Stop by anytime during shop hours for the tag Make n Take! It's a different tag each day. If you don't have a Passport for the Hop, you can still participate in the Make n Take for just $2 each tag.

Here's a peek at one of the tags we will be making sometime next week.


It's been fun seeing everyone - and meeting new crafters. Thank you for stopping by Stamp Works!
