Birthday Wit - Color Challenge - TGIFC141

January 5, 2018

Happy New Year folks! It's almost the end of the first week of 2018. How's it going for you? Gotten anything done? It's been a busy week around here—snow storms, snow days and deadlines. Not much time for crafting for me but last night I did find time to cram in a last minute card for this weeks TGIF Color Challenge. Wanna play along? Color challenges are always so much fun. Make a project with the three colors below and post it over on the TGIF Challenge Blog. And now get ready to be inspired, check out the TGIF Challenge Blog ... the design team has started the year full of home run projects!!!

This card features a new stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog called Birthday Wit. This set is so funny and perfect for any type of birthday card. It's a must have! Check out all of these witty sayings. I can't decide which phrase is my favorite.

What do you think of my little bow-tie creation? It was so easy. I used the new Tailored Tag punch, also from the Occasions catalog.

Four easy steps:

1. Punch the shape from your favorite paper.
2. Cut the shape in half. Swap sides so smaller sides are touching to create the bow-tie shape.
3. Wrap the middle with a piece of the same paper (.5 x 1").
4. Adhere together. So simple.

LAST MINUTE SANTA - TGIF Challenge 139 - Labels to the rescue!

December 22, 2017

This weeks TGIF challenge is LAST MINUTE SANTA! Boy do I have a lot of hodgepodge last minute Santa packaging coming together. I'm all over the board as I am trying to use up my Holiday mini catalog supplies. How about you? Are you getting it all done?

Snap a quick photo of your Last Minute Santa cards, packaging, whatever and play along with us over at TGIF challenges. I know ... it's one more thing to do, but it sure is fun. #tgifc139

We are headed out of town for vacation and I need to drop off teacher gifts, neighbor gifts and other last minute goodies. I did make it to the post office last week. Whew. Self imposed chaos. Paper crafting to the rescue!

I make caramels every year. The recipe is my mom's and it's fabulous. You can find that recipe here. This year I made little sets of 3 caramels packaged in a cellophane bag with a paper topper. I used the Labels to Love stamp set to help decorate. That set sure has come in handy. I had a handful of these around for the kids to hand out.

I also made up my November Paper Pumpkin and stuffed those little stockings with caramels. Again, perfect little treats for passing out. Sorry, no pictures of those ... I forgot.

And ... I used the fun little Trim Your Stocking box die to create these paper stockings. It turned out to be another cute way to hand out treats.

This next card uses another label set. The Merry Little Labels stamp set is full of fantastic holiday tag images. All of these images (and the images from Labels to Love) coordinated with the Everyday Label punch. This set is retiring in a few short days is currently discounted (while supplies last)! See below for purchase links.

Using the Let It Snow label, I made this adorable pink, white and gold winter card. It's sweet, simple, and PINK. I have a friend who has a pink and white Christmas tree and this card would be perfect for her. Do you like the gold Winter Wonder designer paper, gold foil snowflakes and snowflake embossing folder? These products also are retiring at the end of the year. Last chance to pick up these awesome goods.
