Cards Using Tags #5

2012-11-27 001 015

The 5th and final card from my "Cards Using Tags" Class is a gate fold.

2012-11-27 001 014

I use these cute little punch flowers often. They are created with Gold Foil Paper and the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. Punch two and after attaching with a mini brad, bend UP the top flower for lots of dimension!

Check out this CLEVER invitation to Manager's Event at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference in Houston!! The "big fish" is actually the ticket to get in the door - printing is on the backside. The "big fish" slips into a pocket at the back of this stitched booklet! LOVE IT!!

This Undefined Kit turned into a DIET COKE card, created by Shannon West of the Stampin' Up! Team! Love how she took the stripes of the straw and carried that theme through her project! Clever! See my first project in the "related articles" below.

This card would be a perfect make and take project for beginners! I used the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set which is really growing on me! This layout is simple, quick, and uses a minimum of supplies. Now let's STEP-IT-UP a bit...

Here are minor changes, and more interest! Colors are Midnight Muse and Bermuda Bay - striking!

This is another "olde classic" out of my files! It makes me smile!

A peek inside.

Details: Cut a Cherry Cobbler Top Note Die in half the long direction and draw a bold line down the middle. Using a 3/4" circle punch, punch two half circles on each side of the line. Using a 1-1/4" circle punch, punch two half circles between the last circle and the outer edge of the Cherry Cobbler. Using Gold Foil Paper punch out a  Modern Label Punch for a "buckle" and Star Punch from Merry Minis Punch Pack for shoe "toe." "Legs" are about 5/8" wide and cut from Season of Style Designer Series STACK. Give it a try, and smile!!

Merry Minis Punch Pack

2012-11-27 001 005
These three little punches make some quick, cute little treats! Use ANY individually wrapped candy, like mini candy bars. You just need scraps of cardstock, designer papers, Glimmer Paper, or Foil Paper. For Lifesavers, I cut Midnight Muse cardstock into 1-1/4" X 2- 1/2" rectangles. I punched, backed with glitzy paper, folded in half and stapled onto the candy wrapper. It could not be easier!!!

2012-11-27 001 006
Here I used Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Designer Papers with Glimmer Papers.

The Merry Minis are NOT in the catalog, but STILL AVAILABLE and SOOOO versatile! Get them NOW!
