Bitty Box Tags

This is sooo cute in real life. I used my Bitty Box Die (115967) for the Big Shot and cut using the "Thick Window Sheets" (114324). The box is so sturdy and will withstand a lot of use.










You can tell more how sturdy this is by looking at the "open" box. How simple to die cut and fold together..... how convenient.














I made these cute Christmas Tags by cutting 2" squares. Then I stamped the Snowman Image from the Tags Till Christmas and punched out with the Circle Punch and attached with a couple of dimensionals. Then I punched a small hole in the top left corner and attached some Linen Thread to attach to a package.........
Instead of giving these away, I actually used the tags...... so now I guess I will have to make more and fill with Valentines tags.

Have a Great Day

Build a Blossom Stamp Set & Punch

I haven't played around enough with this set yet and I partially cased the card in the Mini Catalog on page 12, but changed it to a 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 card so I added a few items. This stamp set from the new Occasions Mini Catalog has so many possibilities...... As I type this I'm thinking of some other fun ideas, so I will be putting them together and let you see what i envision. :)

The new Build a Blossom Stamp Set (121923 W or 121994 C) along with the new Blossom Petals Punch (121808) are so fun together. How nice not to have to snip around all the scallops on the petals (like we used to have to do..... whew!!) And boy do my customers like this option!

I used Baja Breeze and Early Espresso Cardstock for the base of the card and some of the Naturals Designer Series Paper. The flower was stamped with Blushing Bride Classic Ink on Whisper White cardstock. I stamped five of the petals with the pattern and 5 of the plain petals (the petals are different sizes and both use a different petal punch on the Blossom Petals Punch) s0000 fun. The petals are stamped with Always Artichoke onto Old Olive cardstock and punched out with the Blossom Petal Punch. I attached all to the Early Espresso cardstock using Tombo Multi Purpose glue. Then I stamped "4 you" from the Tiny Tags stamp set and punched it out with the Tiny Tags punch. After punching a hole at the top of the tag, I attached to an Olive Button tying in a bow and attached to the card with a mini glue dot. I then attached some sticky strip to the area between the cardstock and the designer series paper and "munched" some Always Artichoke Seam Binding across the tape.

Do you like???

Using the Fancy Favor Die Cut (115965) I made this cute little Luminary. I used the 2 1/2" circle punch to cut the circle in the middle of the cardstock. Then I attached a piece of Vellum on the inside that I had stamped with Black StazOn and then I only colored the leaves and berries with an Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler marker. I put one of the battery operated candles on the inside. I think this turned out really cute.

I think I will try some cute valentine ones for gifts for my friends. You can even put a package of candy on the inside along with the candle so you have two gifts in one!!! What's more fun than that????

Be sure to order your Fancy Favor Box die so you can make these for any occasion or for a gift sack with tissue paper or shredded paper. You can also add a handle to this box for a different look.

Try it out and use "your" imagination and let me see what you come up with.

Until later!

Hurry to order your set for Valentines Day preparation!!

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted anything. Well, I'm back and will try to do much better. Christmas time is so busy at my house and even though it's all over, I'm going to show you a few things I did for Christmas, because I think they are super cute. One of my customers asked me to make some "Candy Wrapper" hostess gifts for a Christmas event she was in charge of. This box represents 125 Candy Wrappers. These are all different, and they hold little candy cane balls inside. I made these using the Candy Wrapper Die in the Holiday Mini Catalog on page 10 (remember the last day to order from this catalog is 1-3-11 - tomorrow before midnight). If you want to order this die, you can go to my website www.janetelam.stampinup.net and order online and it will be shipped to your doorstep.
This die is so fun for all occasions, birthdays, Christmas, Halloween and many other occasions. It can hold a small gift for that special someone.

I have some more fun things for you tomorrow, so STAY TUNED!!!!!
