Christmas tags

This is a tag I will use for Christmas gifts. The Brushed Silver card stock is 2 1/2" x 2 3/4". I stamped the snowflake (page 20 IB&C) in silver (now retired, boohoo) and then punched out with the snowflake punch (page 200 IB&C). I got the silver snowflake in the middle from a friend. She was kind enough to give me a bunch of them (Thanks, Kiy!). I'll tie some silver string to attach the tag.

It's not too early to start stamping Christmas things. It's only 6 weeks away!! Do a little every week and you will have lots of fun hand-stamped things for the holidays!

Happy Stamping!

Mountain Bay Stamp Club-November 2010

Here are the cards I made with the fabulous 4th and 5th grade girls in the Mountain Bay School Stamping Club! They had a lot of fun and sometimes even made some changes to their cards to try out their own idea. They are a very creative bunch with neat ideas for cards!



Happy Stamping!

November 2010 Stamp Club

These are the cards we made at the November Stamp Club. The card above uses the Glimmer Brads from the Holiday Mini. The stripes of card stock are 3/4" x 5". Change the colors and the words and this basic design can be used for just about anything!


I pressed the ink pad cover together, opened it, and picked up the ink on the inside of the cover with an AquaPainter. First I colored the entire flower a lighter color. Then I went over a few spots to make some flowers darker to give it some dimension.


This card is so quick, easy, and versatile! Just change the color in the wheel and you have a whole new look! There are just 2 card stock layers- Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White!


The Tinsel Trim (silver) was used as a ribbon to add a little shine to this card. A 2-way glue pen and dazzling diamonds glitter added sparkle to the bag. The background on the Melon Mambo is direct-to-paper (DTP). Just rub the ink pad against the card stock for a quick and easy background.

Happy Stamping!
