I absolutely have to stop playing with cards and get to my Thanksgiving table decorations! I just can’t resist the Regals color collection and the Fall colors! This card went together so quickly. I used a Very Vanilla base ( 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″) with a More Mustard mat (4 x 5 1/4″) embossed… Read More »

By now I imagine that you can tell that I like a burgundy red and green Christmas! I had a little more of the Christmas paper left and decided to make some more tags. I love the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder that I received in my last Stampin’ Up! order. It looks like Pointsettias! By using two punches of… Read More »
I have to say that I’m really enjoying making my gift bags for the holidays. The possibilities are endless! I love to design and create matching tag and bag decorations.

A few years ago, I actually stopped buying gift wrap and tags. I started buying inexpensive bags from the local craft store and then decorated them to give my gift wrapping my own special touch. I really enjoy making the bags and tags each year. I always scour the clearance racks at craft stores throughout the year to get really good deals… Read More »

I loved how the technique turned out and I ended… Read More »
