Happy Holidays!

Hi all
Today I have a cute tag for you that is simply cheerful!!

The base of the tag is from the two tags die.  The head is a circle punch and the hat is the rounded tab punch.  The scarf is a piece of Stampin' Up!s Candy Cane fabric with a holiday button on top.  The greeting is from the Delightful Dozen set.  This is a fun little tag that could be used all through the winter months.

Hi all
Here is a neat little tag!!

We used almost artichoke c/s as the base with a layer of DSP from the Frostwood Lodge collection.  The tree is a die cut from the stocking accents die.   I love the rounded edges of this die instead of the sharp points often seen.  I found that we needed to put very small notches on the sides to keep the gold cording from sliding out of position.  Aren't the pearls a nice touch?  Popping the tree up on dimensionals gave it a nice shadow too.  The cherry cobbler ribbon is very special.

Hi all
Here's another little tag from the peekaboo die....  This one is special because it uses a bottle cap, with some crystal effects and beads inside, as an accent on the front.

The green die cut inside the tag window is from the Holiday Windows Movers and Shapers for the Big Shot.  Remember, little pieces of designer paper can really add a nice element  to your projects.

Hi all
Yesterday I showed you two very simple tags...those tags could be quickly made when you run short at the last minute and need a few more tags.  They are also a great way to make use of smaller left-over pieces of cardstock.
Today I want to show you one more of the tags from the Peekaboo Die.

This tag uses the cute penguin from the punch pals set.  Sometimes it is tricky to get small pieces of cardstock to line up - there may be little or no area on which to put the adhesive, so what we did was attach the white cardstock in the center of the green cardstock.  Then the red scalloped peek a boo window was glued overtop the white cardstock.  Then the image was stamped through the window. Of course, the penguin was stamped separately and punched out.
Inside is the greeting for the "to and from".

 Hope you like it!

Hi all
Good class today....busy ladies!!
I prepard a collection of tags and gift card holders for the ladies today...some simple, some more involved.  Let's start simple.....

These tags use the peek a boo die for the Big Shot machine.  The cool thing is you can cut five different tags with one pass through the machine.  We used four of the different tags.  These are the simplest tags.  When you open the door there is a "to...from.." stamped inside.  More projects to see all week.
Make my day...leave a comment!!!

Holiday treats!

Hi Stampers.
Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler temperatures and that you are feeling the preChristmas excitement building.  Tongiht I want to show you some little treats I have been working on.  The staff at one of my schools is providing dinner at the local Ronald McDonald House tomorrow night.  I cannot go with them but I did offer to make some treats for the residents. 

I started out making the white treats which were made from three ornament die cuts.  They weren't exactly cooperating so I decided to use a one inch box die cut  instead.

Inside the box is a dum dum like lollipop.  The stick of course is holding the greeting.

This is a close up of the ornament die cut.  It too has a dum dum inside.  I had hoped to use tootsie pops but they were way too large to fit. 
I will take these 50 treats and another set of treats tomorrow so the gang can take them with them to the Ronald Mc Donald house.  Hope the kids enjoy them.
