I made this bag to hold cards. My measurements were slightly off so the cards have to stand upright inside of it. But I do like the way that it turned out. I was trying to make a bag that was a little more masculine looking, even though most of my cards are not very masculine:)



Thanks for looking.

Tags!!

I have an upcoming tags class for my church these are what I have come up with.




I used the oval punches, circle punches made some small gift cards and bigger tags.



They will also make a cello bag topper.



We are only going to make one card and it is a tag card. The tag part is a matchbook card.



I am happy with the way that they turned out but I think that I am going to change the brilliant blue to brocade blue before they go on display this Sunday. I also have three posters to make and the handouts so I think I better get busy. If anyone has any suggestions for posters I would love the suggestions. Thanks for looking.

Halloween card

I made this card out of the just fiends stamp set from stampin up it retired a couple of years ago. It is similar to a card that I did a couple of years ago with the cat set. I just changed the colors and added the ribbon.



The second card is also with the just fiends set but a new card.



Both of the cards open from the bottom and are folded at the top. Thanks for looking.

Another pop-up card.



I made it in three different color combos regal rose/pale pink, tempting turqoise/taken with teal and lovely lilac and almost amethyst. I also paper pierced a stem on each that comes down from the flower to the base of the card. It doesn't show up so well on the picture though.



I also found (when making the table cloth) that in the bridal section of the craft stores they carry boxes of white flowers. There were 110 for 5.00 and 300 for 10.00 which is a great buy compared to the dozen or so that you normally get for 5-10 in the scrapbook section. They are all white so you do have to die your own. For me that works best since that is normally what I like to do anyway but if you have never done it there are a couple of different ways to do so and it is so easy even my kids can do it. Thanks for looking.
