Stampin' Up! Australia - Artful Stampers Blog Hop #31

Hi!

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop!

This card was really quick to pull together thanks to the Tag A Bag Accessories Kit. Not only are these tags great for gift packaging, but you can use them on cards too!

I thought this would make a great card for a person of either gender....it is quite clean and simple and the embellishments aren't over the top. They can also remove the Blackberry Bliss clip if they want to add it to their stationery collection! :)

I also made an envelope with the Envelope Punch Board out of some retired Basic Black DSP to make slightly bigger envelope to allow for the overhang of the clip. 

Here were our colours this week:

I was inspired by the sketch at Retrosketches...except that I didn't see the L shape on the left and base so I kinda messed that bit up :(

Stampin' Up! Australia - Label Love

Dear Stampin' friends,

Looking for a card for a teenage girl (or tween)?

Here you go....

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was made using the Tag a Bag Accessories kit, some inkpad-to-paper technique and some clear block stamping. The sentiment is from the Label Love stamp set and punched using the Artisan Label punch.  

 

Happy stampin'
Cheers

Dear Stampin friends

IT'S HERE!!! IT'S HERE!!! THE NEW 2013-2014 ANNUAL CATALOGUE IS HERE!!! :) You can download your brand new catalogue here or from over on my sidebar. :)

There are a feast of new products to behold but here I'm showing you what you can make with the 'Tag a Bag' product range.

Here is one of the 'Tag a Bag' Gift Bags (131370 $6.95) with the 'Tag a Bag' Accessory Kit (130153 $13.95). The husband of a friend needed some TLC recently so I made him some chocolate-chip cookies and delivered them in this cute little package! You even get the cute little pegs and the twine in the Accessory Kit!!

I stamped the tag with the 'get well' sentiment from the new 'Tag It' stamp set in Bermuda Bay - a brand new colour. 'Tag It' is  $39.95 (Woodmount 130300) or $31.95 (Clearmount 130303). The best bit is that $3 from each 'Tag It' stamp set sold will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities. :)
