Tags and Sneak Peek

I tend to give lots of gift cards to my teenage nieces and nephew.  It’s just easier for that age group- LOTS easier!  You can use the Big Shot Petite Pocket die to wrap up gift cards in a snap!



This is so easy – die cut the Petite Pocket (I used the glitter dots from Holly Berry Bouquet) and adhere a very thin strip down of Real Red down the middle.  Add a Real Red satin bow and a Crumb Cake tag stamped with Dear Santa – and you’ve got a cute gift card holder.  Almost makes me feel guilty – it’s so easy!  Here’s a note – I do not adhere the sides of the pocket together when using it for gift tags.  A brad on the back holds the holder together just fine.  You can adhere it if you want – it’s just a bit snug that way and if that’s what you’re going for – it works!

And a sneak peek – Bordering on Romance from the upcoming Occasions Mini.  (I just had to stop and play with new stuff!)

I’m having some really strange computer problems this morning.  It’s only raining outside so I’m not sure what the problem could be.  I have a definite love/hate relationship with my computer.  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran










Another Regional Tag

Here’s another tag that I saw at Regionals.  This one is made with the Pennant punch by punching three scalloped pennant, folding them in half and adhering them together.  I think this was done by another demonstrator and just shown on stage – if you know who created the original, let me know. 


Again, I made a 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 tag and stamped the pot from Pennant Parade on the bottom.  Then I made the tree and inserted a glimmer brad at the top.  Since I didn’t want the brad to show on the back, I covered it with another tag.  The brad was a bit bigger than I planned – should have moved the Dear Santa up!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran

Stitched Felt

Here’s an idea share by Bonnie Thurber (LOVE her!) at the Louisville Regionals.  She created a set of tags using the Stitched Felt Winter Wishes (124108) and the Frostwood Lodge Designer Series paper (124002), the ribbon punch and the Dear Santa stamp set.  I cased her idea using 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 Whisper White tags. 





Silver glitter paper!  Love it!  The center circle is the 1 3/8 circle punch –





Now I am 4 tags ahead!  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
