Festival of Prints Cards

Here are 2 cards that I made using the same layout and the same paper stack.  I love the diversity that the Festival of Prints paper stack gives you.  It's available for just a little longer (through January 2nd) from the Holiday Catalog.  

The images are from the stamp set Sassy Salutations and it gives just the right touch of whimsy!  You could use any greeting however.  Add a little trim, and other embellishment and you have a simple card.




Thanks for stopping by.

Simple Christmas Tags


These cute little tags were a make and take project I planned for a stamping party back in November.  So quick and cute!  Everyone loved them.

Here's what you need to re-create the tags.
6x3-inch rectangles of card stock, scored along the 6-inch side at 3".  This gives you 3-inch square tags that open up so you can write on the inside.  You could just as easily make the tags a single 3-inch square if you wanted to save on paper.
Scraps of Whisper White (or other neutral colored card stock for the images), and coordinating colored card stock for the scallop.

No Peeking stamp set #126290 [w], $24.95 or #126282 [c], $17.95

1-3/4" Circle & 2-3/8" Scallop Circle punches.

Assorted colors of Stampin' Write Markers.

I used a 1/8" circle punch and some Baker's Twine to attach the tags to a package.
