Tag Punch Side Card and Candy Holder

Happy Monday Morning.  This past weekend the weather here in Southern California was beautiful.  We had some wind and going down the hill into Riverside Sunday, the sky was so blue.  I did work on some stamp projects this weekend.  I needed some thank you notes and realized I did not have that many in my box of cards.  So this week I will need to make some thank you cards.  I created this thank you card for a co-worker who has been substituting in our office and today is her last day.  So I have seen these  tag punch on sides of cards, so I looked on line to see how to do it.  It is very easy.  You just need to pull the card stock up over the slider they have on the punch.  I also made a candy holder but I put tea bags inside instead of candy.  She likes to have tea.  Usually you do not see whats inside, but the tea bags are wider and larger then candy.  I think it is a great little gift idea.

Here is the recipe:
Petite Petals (#133155 clear), Your Lovely (Sale-a-bration set) and Express Yourself (Hostess set #130399) stamp sets
Real Red and Whisper White card stock
Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (#132996)
Petite Petals (#133322) and Scallop Tag Topper Punch (#133324)
Deco Labels Collection framelits (#130102)
Whisper White 1/4" stitched grosgrain ribbon (#126877)
Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#119246)

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of the thank you card and candy holder.

Perfect Pennants Birthday Gift Bag and Card

Here is a great gift bag and card that is a fun project to make a matching card and gift bag. This was our masculine project for our February class.  We used the Banners framelits and then used embossing folder to give the banners texture.  We also used our new chevron border punch on the card.  Once your have your banners and punch out the border on the card, it is very easy to put together.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day.  I hope that you spent time today with your loved ones.  Today is my parents 56th anniversary. Congratulations mom and dad. 
This is a cute valentines card that I created.  It is a fun and easy card to make.  The red paper with the white hearts is one of the treat bags that Stampin' UP had as a Valentine's promotion.  I took the bag and opened it up and used it behind the white card stock for a great background.  I used the hearts thinlits and cut out the 2 hearts from the white card stock.  I also took a red Sharpie and colored the rhinestone on the small heart.  The small heart is the heart small heart that the thinlits cut out.

Love Card

Here is a beautiful wedding, anniversary or Valentine's card.  This is a card that we created in our Spring Card Class.  We made this beautiful flower with our new spiral flower die cut.  It is so easy to create.  Once you run the die cut through the big shot and get your pattern, you roll it up and then flower loosen up and then hot glue the bottom to the 2 petals on the pattern.  Then you have a beautiful flower.  We made the flower in cherry cobbler card stock and the deep red looks beautiful with the gold.

Burlap and Blooms Wreath

Good Monday Morning!  I hope that everyone had a great weekend.  I had a relaxing weekend.  I did get into my craft room and working on some upcoming projects.

Here is picture of the Burlap Blooms Wreath that we made in our January class.  This kit comes with everything that you will need to put your wreath together.  You will need to use your hot glue gun and some glue dots and adhesive to put some of the flowers together.  It is very easy and fun to put your own wreath together.n  I did spread my flowers out when i put them on the wreath, where the sample had them closer together.

Burlap Blooms Wreath Kit #133333 which is in the Occasions Catalog on page 14.

Have a great day.  Thank you for visiting today.  God Bless.
