Holiday Gift Tags

These are some great gift tags that I made using scraps of cardstock, my punches and 2 stamp sets.

My inspiration came from a post of tags that Charlotte Brown made. I took it from there and just started playing with my scraps, the sets and the punches! You can check out her site at http://www.charlottesweb.blogspot.com/.

These will be one of the things that are available in my Stamp a Stack this Wed. during the day or Thurs. evening at 7pm! So stop by and stamp some Holiday tags!

Sets: Perfect Presentation (Hostess set) & Season of Joy

Enjoy!

More journals and Craft Fair ideas

Below is a journal class that I had for my daughter and her friend. We purchased Canson journals and calendars at the Christmas tree Shop and covered them with the spring Petals and Paisley Designer Paper.

These are great ideas for teens.

Blogger's Challenge - Week #23 - Different Points of View

This week's challenge is to use one stamp set and make two different items. These are some cards that I made using the Snow Burst stamp set.

The card on top is made with Soft Sky Cardstock, Blue Bayou and white. The snow bursts are stamped with blue bayou on white. I used a brayer to layer the soft sky over the white. I then used glitter to highlight the snow burst on the smaller white piece. The center is embellished with a rhinestone brad.

The second card is made with glossy white cardstock and brilliant blue. I used the snow wheel and snow burst set stamped on the glossy white with versamark. I used a brayer to layer with the blue spectrum pad and then used a pearl from the Pretties kit to embellish the snow burst in the middle.

Make sure to check out my other Blogging friends! I'm sure their ideas are great!

Blogger's Challenge - Week #21 - Color Challenge

Sorry that I have been so absent the past couple of weeks. I have been really busy prepping for the holidays and getting items ready for the craft fairs that I have been attending.

This week's blogger's challenge was to use the colors pumpkin, chocolate chip, brocade blue and olive green in a stamped item.

I received my new incentive set Time Well Spent on Friday so I decided that I woud make something with this great set!

I love this new set! Thank you Stampin' Up! Being a demo and receiving free sets to play with is just one of the bonuses! Ask me more about being a demo!
