All sorts of gift tags/cards!

OK, so not al sorts, but two different styles.

We did this last night at the Hostess Club. This is a fantastic group of ladies that
get together here once a month! So we did some heat embossing, and tag makin'!


SUPPLIES:
Cardstock: real red, night of navy, whisper white, shimmery white
ink: versamark
accessories: silver elastic cord from the holiday mini, 1 3/4 circle punch, 1 3/8 circle punch, detail silver embossing powder, distressing tool from the cutter kit, 1/16" circle punch
Stamps: Serene Snowflake from the Holiday Mini

INSTRUCTIONS for circle gift tags:
cut cardstock into 2x4 strips
fold andscore in half
slide the folded half into your punch first, but not quite all the way, and punch out your circle. It should open like a mini card
punch along the score line and thread with silver elastic cord and tie
Rub your whisper white/shimmery white cardstock with your Embossing Buddy to avoid emobssing finger prints!
Stamp a small snowflake image - or other Christmasy image - in versamark, then sprinkle with silver detail embossing powder, over your powder pal! Shake off excess EP.
Heat emboss.
punch out your snowflake with the 1 3/8 circle punch and adhere to your cardstock tag.

VOILA!! :)
LOTS of fun, and useful, and you can make these for any gift giving occasion! :)

Take care,

The Crop!

So I did theGrantham Lioness show on Saturday. I have a photo of ME in my booth, but it's still on the camera. It's not a show I will be doing next year. Traffic was low, and it was a crow dthat was more vintage and not interested in my creations. But it was worth the experience, to start deciding which shows are worth participating in! :)

HUGE thanks to my wonderful husband for coming to my rescue when I forgot my display board at home! As well, he came and manned the table for the last 2 hours of the show and he even wore my SU! apron!! :) A true blessing for sure :)

The afternoon and evening were filled with stamping, scrapping and eating! :) The crop was a success, and everyone had a good time,and by the looks of the slips in the grand prize bag, LOTS was accomplished!! Everyone got a goody bag, a door prize, snacks, a yummo supper from Antipastos! Everyone did a make 'n take Chrismtas card, which I will share tomorrow. We had a Stampin' Up! lotto, and a grand prize draw! Christa T. was the lucky winner of both the lotto AND the grand prize!! :)

I am going over the numbers and will share them with you later this week. I will be hosting another fundraiser crop in February I think, stay tuned for details!

In the meantime... another card share!
I'm stepping away from Christmas today, as I seem to have forgotten to take photos of a bunch of my Christmas creations!! LOL!



SUPPLIES:
cardstock: close to cocoa, not quite navy, kraft
ink: chocolate chip
accessories: 5/8 chocolate brown grosgrain ribbon, sponges, stampin' dimensionals
stamps: Sense of Time

Ho Ho Ho!

I created this card a couple weeks ago. I liked how it was simple but on the elegant side. Then I looked at it a bit longer... and it reminded me of something... Santa's belt! LOL! So much for the elegant simple look!! Michael said to me "I hope that card doesn't have a zipper!" LOL!



SUPPLIES:
cardstock: Whisper White, Real Red, Basic Black
Ink: Real Red
Accessories: Wide Oval punch
Stamps: Christmas Punch - hostess level 2 reward

Craft Show Booth and Dancing Reindeer!

Here's a photo of my booth from the Parnall School Vendor Fair. Pay no heed to the women in the background! I forgotto get one with ME in the photo, so I may try for it this Saturday at the Grantham Lions Craft Show :)

I laid out all my Christmas cards on the table, just one of each, plus a layer of my more intricate cards in front of my display. My display board needs a wee bit of attention, as some of the cards are askew! I have a catalogue display thingy for catties, and another cardboard thing for my non Christmas cards - thinking of you, get well, girl/boy birthday, sympathy, and some general non specific cards. Also, the pink bag was to hold my door prize slips, with a stack of customer care cards and pens in front of it. I gave away a 20$ gift certificate, and a stamp set that was retired.



And now onto the dancing reindeer!! I bought the set "Sparkly & Bright" a little while ago, b/c I saw some cute things done with it. Then I got stumped!! Thanks to my friend April, I now have a cute card that IS sparkly, with a fewdancing reindeer... we joke they are doing the can can! LOL!


Click to enlarge to see the detail, and it is clear when it's bigger! :)

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: Sparkly & Bright
Ink: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Real Red Stampin' Write marker
Cardstock: Whisper White
Accessories: two way glue pen, Dazzling Diamonds glitter

Parnall Craft/Vendor Fair

I participated in this show on Saturday, and it was SO much fun!! HUGE thanks to my friend Jen for stepping in to man my booth while I went to London after lunch! I met many wonderful folks, paper crafters and non paper crafters alike!

I had decent sales,and made some fantastic contacts! I will be posting a photo of my booth later today when I bring the camera to the computer.

Thank you to all those that came to see me, support me, and to visit my booth at the show!! I am doing another show this Saturday at the Grantham Lions Hall at Niagara/Lakeshore in St. Catharines :) More door prizes, more cards, more fun!! :)

To Brighten Your Day!

I was chatting with my friend April, about fruity cards in the late fall. We both think folks don't realy want them! LOL! However, this card called out! It has a bit of holiday appeal, without the holiday sentiment!



SUPPLIES:
cardstock: real red, garden green, whisper white
link: real red, garden green, basic brown - all markers
accessories: scalloped eyelet punch, paper snips
stamps: Tart 'N Tangy -pg 126, 111514; Sincere Salutations pg 143 115068

O Christmas Tree!!

Not the song, the Big Shot Die! ! WOWZERS!!! It's amazing!!!
So... I got it for 14$ using the hostess special... think on it, I saved almost 40$!! :) WHOOT!

So here it is! I sprayed the trees on the front of the card with platinum shimmer paint mist - I put 3 drops into a travel sized bottle of rubbing alcohol. I sprayed the tree on the inside with it too. I will dress it up tomorrow, but it looks fun now :)





SUPPLIES:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Night of Navy
Ink: Night of Navy
Accessories: Platinum Shimmer Paint, O Christmas Tree Die for Big Shot
Stamps: Patterened Pines Hostess Set from Holiday Mini, All Year Cheer III retired
