Cute letterpress gift tags are easy and done in just two passes through your craft tool!

Step 1: Cut thick, soft letterpress paper with the Tag It Kit and Yellow Shape 'N Tape with the Tape It Kit. This can be done in one pass if you cut the paper/tape down so that it is just bigger than the die. We love the pretty embossed edge that the dies leave.

Step 2: Next, pass your newly cut Letterpress tags through the Letterpress Platform with Black Letterpress Ink and the Damask Letterpress Printing Plate. The L Letterpress works in all of the major crafting tools. Finish your tags with a smidge of Shape 'N Tape and you've got a designer gift tag!

Washi tape is BIG in crafting right now. Decorated with polka dots, chevron stripes, hearts, even underground maps of London, you can get a roll of it in almost any pattern you can imagine.

We love washi tape, but, with a roll that is only one width, it's pretty limited. So, we set out to create a more versatile washi tape that lets you cut into any shape you want.

And, we did it! Meet Shape 'N Tape! It is the very latest from Lifestyle Crafts, and we are very excited to tell you about it! Some of you may have previewed and even played with the Shape 'N Tape that came with the Knotty and Nice Gift Sets or tried the entire Knotty/Nice Shape 'N Tape pack ... but that was just the begining. We now have ten new varieties of Shape 'N Tape color packs, and they all work with any cutting die!
 

Each sheet of Shape 'N Tape is 6" x 12" and is the same texture and thickness as traditional washi tape. Shape 'N Tape has an added removable backing to make it easy for you to cut out with any die your heart desires! Shape 'N Tape comes in 10 different color sets with 5 full sheets of Shape 'N Tape in each. Each color has four patterns that are common among all of the colors and one pattern that is unique to its color. In these photos, the unique pattern for that specific color pack is the top sheet.

You can cut Shape 'N Tape with the dies you already own, but we have also created a new set of dies called Tape It Kit dies designed to cut the tape into some fun designs. If you want a heart, we've got a die for that, if you want a cornerpiece, we've got a die for that. A gift tag? Yep! We even have dies that will cut Shape 'N Tape into the traditional rough edged strip of tape you have come to love! Check out our brand new Tape It Kit, designed to cut Shape 'N Tape into everything from pennants to labels! 

Share our news on your Facebook page, Twitter, or by pinning any of the images above to Pinterest and then comment "I shared this post on [where you shared it here]" on this post, and we will randomly choose one reader to win a color pack of Shape 'N Tape of their choice! Hurry and comment! CONTEST ENDS JANUARY 9, 2013 at 11:59 PM, and the winner will be announced Jan 10 !!

These petite felt bows, made with our Knotty Gift Set, are the perfect topper for some of the sweetest things of all, little girls! The possibilities are endless with fabrics and felts. You can make an entire hair bow collection, and with the precision of a die cut, you'll get the perfect bow every time. 

Tip: thin felts and stiffened fabric are best when cutting with dies

Pin your extra bows to a beautiful cable-knit pattern for a cozy Christmas card. We created the letterpressed pattern with a custom Letterpress Printing Plate designed to resemble our Woven Embossing Folder.

Here is a devilishly good cupcake recipe to go with these quick and easy Halloween toppers!

Devilishly Delicious Cupcakes

1 dark chocolate or DEVIL’S food cake mix
1 small package of instant chocolate pudding
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup warm water
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips (mini semi-sweet morsels work best)

Combine all ingredients, chocolate chips last, and pour into cupcake liners 1/2 full if you want flat tops, 2/3 full for rounded tops. Bake at 350 degrees F until toothpick comes out clean, about 20-24 minutes. Let cool, and then frost with cream cheese frosting, vanilla, chocolate or dust with powdered sugar! Once they are decorated, sink your teeth into the most moist cupcake you have ever had!
