A Terrific Gift Idea with Those Trendy Toadstools

Gift-tag-terrific-toadstools-towel

If you've followed me for a while, you know I love creating thoughtful, trendy, and practical gifts—and one of my favorites to add a paper crafting flair to cute towels! There’s just something so special about combining our creativity with a useful item, and I’m excited to share my latest project featuring the Terrific Toadstools Bundle from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog.

This project came together so easily thanks to the precious images and coordinating punch in this bundle. Taking inspiration from the colors in the towel, I selected papers and ink shades that complement the design of the toadstools on the towels. 

If you missed my Live this past week on Facebook and YouTube, don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! The project demonstration is available for you to watch below.  Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just getting started, I hope this video will inspire you to create your own trendy towel gift set.

The Terrific Toadstools Bundle is available now in my Online Store! This bundle is perfect for all kinds of projects—from cards to home decor and, of course, gift items like these towels.

I'm so excited to share today's DIY gift tag project with you! The Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Bundle and its coordinating patterned paper are the stars of this beautiful creation. This project was featured in a LIVE video this week, and it's perfect for adding a special touch to your gifts.

Stampin-up-citrus-blooms-towel

I recently came across a gorgeous towel on Amazon that immediately caught my eye.(Leave a comment if you'd like the link for the towels!) The lemons and citrus blooms backed by a stunning blue and white tile pattern were just what I needed to complement the Citrus Blooms Bundle. I knew right away that I had to create a paper craft to match this beautiful find.

In the LIVE video, I demonstrated how to create this lovely gift tag, perfect for enhancing any present, especially one featuring a citrus theme. The combination of the bright, cheerful colors and the intricate designs of the Citrus Blooms Bundle makes this tag truly stand out.
