Hello again! I’m back to share that I’m guest designing for Ellen Hutson and the new Essentials by Ellen Valentine release! It’s absolutely incredible and I am having a blast working with it! The release is available now so click HERE to go shop! Then head to Instagram and hop with us for tons of inspiration!

Today I’m sharing a few projects with the new So Chewsy stamps and dies, plus the Essential Heart dies too! I have some simple tags that would be great for gift bags at school or maybe your office and a coordinating card and tag combo that would be perfect for a loved one or friend.

First, I stamped the images and sentiments for these tags with Catherine Pooler inks and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I popped the gumball up with a foam square. Then I cut a second gumball machine, punched a small hole through both layers and tied them with twine. This gives room on the black layer for a message and to/from, plus the string is long enough to tie around a goodie bag. Aren’t they so cute?!? I love these sentiments!

Next, I used some brighter Catherine Pooler inks to make a second set of gumball machines. One has a sentiment and the other does not so I could fill the shakers with different elements.
For the card, I cut a couple sizes of Essential Hearts and used the frame of one with the inside of the other to create a base for my gumball shaker. I heat embossed a sentiment on the vellum heart and layered everything on the Nordic Cross cover panel. I thought this gave some fun background texture.
Be sure to head to the Ellen Hutson shop and check out the whole release. It’s got so many different and wonderful products in it! You’re sure to find something wonderful! And be on the lookout next week for another guest post featuring one of the other new sets from the release.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
