Get Well Tag It card

 

Needing a get well card is usually unexpected, so it's great to have a few on hand. I used the Tag It stamp set for this one. I like that the sentiment fits inside the Decorative Label punch.

 

I used the Color Coach for the color combo - Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point,a nd Real Red. They're bright and cheery! Each panel was run through the Big Shot in the Arrows embossing folder. The card was finished with a knot of stitched Pacific Point ribbon.

I dig you!

 

Do you know someone who loves to putter in the garden? I love planting perennials, as well as veggies, and watching them grow.

 

Of course, a card with "I DIG YOU!" on the front doesn't have to be for a gardener. It can be just a fun card for a friend. This stamped image is one stamp in the Tag It stamp set, which is retiring. I used Baked Brown Sugar, Wild Wasabi and Cherry Cobbler markers for the image, and the Chalk Talk framelits to diecut it from the Whisper White card stock.

Tag It Christmas card; last 2 letters of Spooky banner

 

Santa looks like he wants to give you a hug, doesn't he? I love the cute little guy in the Tag It stamp set. I used Cherry Cobbler and Baked Brown Sugar markers to ink up the stamp. This is design 9 from my last 20-card class.

 

For this Baked Brown Sugar card, I used 3" x 4" pieces of Season of Style designer paper with a scallop ribbon border-punched solid piece of card stock. One punch from the Designer Label cut in half makes the layer behind Santa, then a couple of rhinestones were added for bling.

Turn the designer paper over and you get this fun design. Stampers had an option to do two of one color or one of each, 'cause that's the way I roll.

Funny I still have one more card design to post tomorrow, because I spent a couple of hours today prepping for a 10-card Christmas class tomorrow morning! It's been a busy month.

Today's the last day to order online to be entered into tomorrow's drawing for the hostess goodies! You may order any Stampin' Up! products thru my Online Store at http://therubberroom.stampinup.net. The hostess code is AKS76R6P.

 

Here are the last two letters of my SPOOKY banner! I'm excited for my banner class this Saturday at 11 a.m. Class is FULL! Have a wonderful day.

Tag It with new envelope punch board

 

My talented friend and downline, Barb, created this make and take for our American Ink gathering Saturday. It's a white embossed notecard with a sentiment from the Tag It set, whose sales benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities. Also used here: Designer Label and Scallop Trim Border punches.

 

Making a coordinating envelope for your handmade card looks AMAZING! I need to do it more often. We used the envelope punch board, which is awesome because it has all of the measurements for the size envelope you want AND it has a ruler at the top marked in increments of 1/8 inch! I think that should be on our paper trimmer too. Anyway, the envelope punch board notches your designer paper with the circular punch so it folds easily (you also score it with a tool that's included with the board), and then you can round all of your corners by inserting your designer paper in the TOP of the punch. Cool!

 

Note: This board is set up for right-handed people. I had to turn the entire board vertically so I could score my lines easier.

While watching the Seattle Seahawks' football game with the 49ers last night, I made this wreath. It uses a yard of fall-colored fabric cut into 1-inch strips approximately 10-1/2" long. You can see more photos at http://www.facebook.com/booth6goods. Have a wonderful day!

Chalk Talk, Christmas and Tag It swaps

Chalk Talk by Kimberly Becker

I hosted a stampin' retreat at my studio this past weekend, and an American Ink team meeting too. Everyone stayed all day. Here are a few swaps to share. This first one uses the Chalk Talk Framelits and coordinating stamp set, along with Etcetera designer paper.

Northern Flurry by Frankie White

My photo doesn't do justice to the strip of shiny designer paper at the top of this card. Frankie used the Northern Flurry embossing folder and Festive Flurry framelits to diecut an embossed snowflake she adhered over the embossed card front.

Tag It by Heather Williams

Birthday Basics designer paper shines on this Tag It card. Heather used the Chalk Talk framelit to diecut the image after inking it with markers.

I picked up this little vintage item at an estate sale. It looks like a mini toothbrush holder! I'd asked several people, but I found a photo and description online today. My treasure? A vintage brass lipstick holder! It makes sense now that I know what it is. lol

 

 

 

Love a chameleon, help Ronald McDonald House Charities

 

I immediately thought of the movie, "Tangled," when I saw this chameleon. He's so cute! And my whole family loved that movie. I made a very clean and simple card with a 2-inch strip of Polka Dot designer paper, a corner rounder punch, and markers.

 

Everyone at the Stampin' Up! convention was given this Tag It stamp set, which is very cool, because with almost 5,800 demonstrators showing it off, it's bound to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. SU! has contributed well over a million dollars. Impressive! A couple of bucks from the sale of each Tag It set benefits RMHC this year. The set is on page 45. In clear-mount, the cost is $16.95 (item #130303); wood-mount is $22.95 (item #130300).

Here's a new-to-me vintage hand mirror I picked up the other day. I'm helping my niece with a booth at a local antique store. It's been alot of fun hanging out with her and her daughter, looking for great deals at thrift stores and garage sales, and repurposing and upcycling other items. One of the most difficult things to do is decide the prices of items. What would you say for this mirror?
