By the Seashore Treat Bag

I've been having fun creating projects with the By the Seashore stamp set. Here's the first of 4 projects, using this Stampin' Up! set, that I will be sharing with you. It's a treat bag and a gift tag.

I used the Chevron gift bag and stamped a bunch of shells on Whisper White card stock. The little dots are sparkly, but it doesn't really show up well in the photo. I used a 1/4" circle punch and a 1/8" circle punch to punch circles from Dazzling Details Glimmer paper and scattered them around the piled shells.

For the tag, I used the chevron embossing folder and some Sahara Sand ink rubbed on with a sponge dauber. The dots on the tag are punched from gold foil paper. The strings are linen thread.

Chalk Talk Tag and Bag

I made this project to give to all the attendees at my card class last month. It is a CASE from the Stampin' Up! 2013/2014 annual catalog. I just changed the color of the bag and the banner. I also changed the bag's edge finish and used a different Designer Series Paper. They are the perfect size for a bag of Easter jelly beans!

The Chalk Talk stamp set isn't retiring this year, but the little flower sizzlit, the Itty Bitty flower punch from the punch pack and the little leaves sizzlit are all going away. I will miss them, they make cute little accents.

Enjoy the Day!

Four Seasons Christmas Gift Tag

I used the Four Seasons stamp set by Stampin' Up! to create these gift tags.

I used the single snowflake from the same set to stamp a strip of Marina Mist paper to use on the blue tag.

I used the baby wipe technique to stamp the snowflake wreath. You dot several colors of reinkers onto a baby wipe and use that as an ink pad for the stamp. It makes subtle color variations on the stamped image.

I like red, white and blue stamping for Christmas and winter themes. What is your favorite combination?

Have a crafty day,

Wedding Gift Card

I used a tag for the base of this gift card. I also made a sleeve from specialty paper. The sleeve can be attached to a gift or can be inserted in an envelope before being attached to the gift. I used a Sizzix die to cut the heart and then embossed it with a swirl embossing folder. This is an easy 10 minute project.
