Hooray for A Round Array!

I received my order from Mr. Brown last night - yay!  Christmas in . . . March!  I knew I wanted to use 'A Round Array' to make thank-you tags/bookmarks for my CLOclub members, so I put the image stickers on the stamps right away and got busy.

BTW, if you want to see a really effective way to apply your image stickers to eliminate air bubbles and help your stamps stick to the clear blocks way better, take a look on my Videos page for the video called "Clear-Mount Stamps - best way to apply image stickers".

Here's what I came up with - simple, but hopefully useful and creatively inspiring.  Love this new stamp set!

I made 3 for the girls in my small group at church, too - I'll put Easter candy with theirs!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Tags and Cards - Together!

This time of year, it seems I need a gift tag every time I turn around.  And there are so many cute ideas I've just gotta try!  Tags are great for gift enclosures or attachments - but you can also use them on a card. Take a look at this one . . .

 

I texture embossed a single piece of cardstock and attached the tag to the front of it.  The tag opens to reveal my handwritten  message.

Super quick and cute!  The glitz is created using Iridescent Ice embossing powder.

Tags for Christmas

'Tis the season to need little gifts, right?!  This week I will share with you some little tags, bags, and more that I have made just for gift-giving.

These little tags were used to give cookie plates to the various offices at the college where I work.  And the jar topper tag sits atop a jar of my yummy homemade cappaccino mix (thanks to my dear friend Cindy!).  It's my annual traditional gift for my close friends and student workers.  (The recipe is below in the comments.)
