Hey there! It’s Black Friday and it’s time for the Baker’s Dozen Studio Challenge and a BIG Black Friday Sale at Taylored Expressions! The earlier you shop, the more you save! So whether you’re shopping in your pajamas or waiting in line at Target, you can fill your shopping cart with TE products for up to 30% off! Here are the details:

In addition to our Black Friday sale, the Baker’s Dozen and I are joining together to provide some inspiration to get you into the holiday crafty spirit! And we’re releasing a brand new set of dies just for the occasion. Here’s a look at Label Stacklets 3! You might recognize the shape because it coordinates with the previously released Frame it Up 1 die. If you already own the Frame it Up 1 die then you’ll be happy to know that the previously released die layers into the new Stacklets.

Here’s the question we’re answering this month for our November Studio Challenge:

As crafters, we often talk about a hand-crafted Christmas. How much stamping do you do for the holidays?  Do you mail hand-stamped cards, make gift packaging, tags, handmade gifts?  Or do you stamp year-round, but not so much for Christmas?  Please show us some handmade tags and share a tip or two on how to keep stamping fun for the holidays.

As a lover of Pinterest, I inevitably have more ideas for the holidays than any one person can possibly complete! With that being said, I do give a lot of handmade Christmas gifts and most years I send hand-stamped cards as well. The past couple years I’ve really enjoyed making my own tags for gifts. And that’s what we’re sharing today! Here’s a look at the tags I made:

• Melody Rupple
• Regina Mangum
