Teacher Appreciation Week

It was Teacher Appreciation Week last week at my Grandson's school.  This is the little bag of goodies I made for him to give her.  It included a little clipboard covered with DSP, an ink pen, with the same DSP inside the barrell, a bar of chocolate covered in the DSP and wrapped with some ribbon and a ruler with the same DSP showing through.  The DSP is from the Specialty Sweet Shop DSP.  I made a tag with the Two-Tags punch in place of a card.  I got a report back from Johnny that Ms. V loved it!  Yeah!!!

Dawn's Birthday Card

I saw this on Stamping School Sunday night, perfect timing for me to make a card/gift for my friend Dawn!  I used Baja Breeze CS instead of the Pear Pizzazz.  The Stamp Set I used for the greeting is the new one in the Sale a bration catalog that I got for free!  Whoopie!!  It's called So Happy for You.  I used Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon (love that stuff).  The bookmark is made with the Two-tags Sizzix Die and the Modern Label Punch for the pocket, the 1 3/4" Scallp Circle Extra Large Punch and 1-3/8" Large Circle Punch.  The Stamp Set used on the bookmark was Clearly for You in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It was punched out of Shimmery White CS.  I used Baja Breeze CS and speckeled the tag with the Spritzer Tool.  The Birds and No5 were stamped with Basic Black Ink and I sponged around the edges with Soft Suede Ink.  The Butterfly was stamped with Baja Breeze Ink and a little Rhinestone added for bling!  I used the Vintage Wallpaper Tetured Impressions Embossing Folder on the top half of the Baja Breeze CS and mounted it all onto Whisper White CS. Hope Dawn likes it!  She's on a trip to Alambama for the Birthday but the card will be waiting for her next week when she returns! 

Happy Birthday my friend...

Two Christmas Tags

I made a couple of little Christmas Tags with the Two Tags Bigz Die. I used the Merry Moments DSP and glued it onto chipboard and then ran it through the Big Shot. A bit of Soft Suede Ink for sponging and added the Sleigh being pulled by a horse using a stamp from the Yuletide Christmas Set, sponged around it in the Soft Suede and layered on to Real Red CS punched with the Oval Scallop Punch for one. The other one I used the Circle Scallop Punch with the Sweet Season Stamp that looks like a snowflake. I added a little glass brad from the pretties kit and mounted it with dimensionals to the long tag that had been sponged with the Soft Suede Classic Ink. I added the silver cord for tying onto packages or hangers if they're used as ornaments. Hope you stop by again soon. Hugs, Julia

Grandson passed his driving test!

Well, our Grandson Braylon passed his driving test ~ we are so proud of him. Papa Bob went and got him a GPS today so he won't get lost ~ he'll send it along with this tag I made for him by UPS tomorrow ...



I used the Rich Razzleberry CS and Ink Pad, the Bigz Two Tags Die and cut the B from the Sizzlets Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Set. I stamped the saying from the Sense of Time Stamp Set on Whisper White and punched out with the Scallop Circle Punch and sponged it all and used the White Gel Pen to make the stitches look real.

I used the computer to add some sweet encouragement and printed it out and cut and mounted it to the back of the tag. I think he'll like it!

Christmas Creations 2009

I made some gift card holders and a tag...used the Designer Specialty Paper Christmas Cocoa. Scallop Circle, Top Note Die, Christmas Ornament Punch and Delightful Decorations Stamp Set along with Red CS and Soft Suede ink for sponging. The tag was punched with the Bigz Two Tag Die and the ribbon is the White Satin and there is a brad on the tag from the Pretties Kit and silver stretch cord for hangers. I got the Top Note Die idea from Inking Idaho and the other envelope looking idea from somebody's blog, but for the life of me I can't find it (so sorry) ~
