Gift tags to go with the designer tags cards

Here are the Gift tags that we made with the designer tags leftover from the Christmas cards.

I stamped the same sentiments on the tags except 1 that I did on the cards...   I cut the tags out using the Big Shot and the Labels Embosslits.  OH SO SIMPLE!!! On the back of the tags, I stamped some images that go with the front of the tag, Like a reindeer on the reindeer tag,  and also stamped a TO: and FROM:  I will use these on a larger gift this Christmas. 

These are some really cute cards to give anyone, and you could even inclose a gift card in them for a last minute "gift" for that special someone.  In a couple of hours you can make these cards yourself.   AND the gift tags TOO.

Contact me to order your designer tags and note cards and envelopes to make these tags and the cards too.

Christmas Card Stamping Day!!!!

Today I had a house full of stampers, all kinds, new stampers as well as stampers who have stamped for years.   We made a whole bunch of cards and I even finished my cards on the inside and stamped the envelopes.   I have 20 cards, complete, ready to write inside and address the envelopes!!!

The only thing I did not do today, was TAKE ANY PICTURES!!!!!  What was I thinking?   I guess I wasn't thinking, that was the problem. 

There were 10 ladies here all together, 3 of the ladies were new to stampin' and they made the tag cards.   In the Holiday Mini catalog - (Did I say Mini, well it is chock full of stuff, no real mini)
On page 12 there are some printed designer tags, 25 altogether for just $3.95.   I paired those tags with the note cards and envelopes that are in the main catalog, pg 160 right in the middle are the note cards and envelopes, just $5.95 for 20 cards AND envelopes.   These are a bit smaller than the regular handmade card, but costs the same to mail them.   Add some color card stock and emboss it using the big shot, layer onto the card and add the tag with a bit of stamping and some added bling using dazzling details, white gel pen, crystal effects and of course the very popular - dimensionals.

Here is a picture of the cards.

I embossed all the color cardstocks on the cards and used dimensionals on most of them.  

ENJOY!

Petite Purse Big Shot Die

I am making some favors for my church's Womens Retreat.   I used the petite purse BS die and some retired colored card stock, Pink Passion and Only Orange.

Here is a picture of the purse, it is filled with a special chocolate treat.   The front flower was made with the Boho Blossoms punch and the Itty bitty punch pack punches and a rhinestone in the middle.

 

55 Complete, 25 cut out (that is EASY), sticky strip applied to the sides, flowers all put together waiting to be glued on the front of the purses.    Will finish tomorrow! This is the 55 completed purses in a box!

Here are my helpers.   My daughter, Aimee and granson Jacob came to visit and I put them to work.   They punched out all the flowers, layered and glued them together.  Jacob liked filling them with the chocolates.

Club Cards and my Mom's version

This months Club cards are kinda bak to the basics....what I love... STAMPING!

I did use my big shot because it is simple to cute shapes out, but you could cut any shape out to do the job.  

Both of the cards I found thru Stampin' Connection, it is a great resource for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.   Has a wealth of information, techniques, videos, and so much more, just one of the perks of being a demo.


This first card is a masculine card and when opened there is a place to put a gift card of money!  All stamping using the stamp set, The Open Sea  I used colors Not quite navy, cajun craze and very vanilla cardstock.   I did cut the ship out by hand and it wasn't hard, but I wouldn't want to have to cut a large amount of these out.   The cajun craze shape is from the Window frames collection framelits dies and the inside greeting I cut out the same size in very vanilla.  I used the Early Espresso bakers twine.  

This next card seems to be all the rage right now.   Convention, I receveived 4 swaps that were done using this technique so I thought I would share with my club members.  

My Mom is in my stampers club, but lives a few hundred miles away, and she didn't have the stamp set I used, so she substitued some stamps she did have.   I think it turned out pretty good, don't you?
