Joy Tags

Boy, it's raining like cats and dogs here today!!!!

Can't believe how much it has poured the last couple of days!! But.... I guess it's a good excuse to spend time in the craft room, hehehe!!!!!

I'd like to share some tags I made for the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays!

This weeks challenge:

For my tags I started out with some kraft card stock and I used my old fashioned Coluzzle and tag template to cut them out! Remember  those ladies?

I embellished the tags with some Washi tape I recently bought at Michaels and then added some stitched trees using a Bazzill In-Stitchez template. I like the way the stitched trees mimic the frees in the Washi tape.

I stamped my sentiment on top of the Washi tape, but it came out very light so I went over it with a Extra Fine Point Sharpie.

Supplies used: card stock - kraft; Washi tape by Recollections; In-Stitchez template by Bazzill; floss - DMC #304; stamp from Warm Hearts by paper Smooches; ink - Tuxedo Black by Momento; Extra Fine Black Sharpie; eyelet - my stash; Crop-A-Dile; twine - Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.

Stitched Christmas Trees

First I'd like to wish all of my friends out there a VERY wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends!!!!!

I am so thankful for all of you!!!!

I'd like to share a CAS card I made for Case This Sketch challenge #6.

Here is the sketch:

I decided to flip it sideways and I pulled out some old stitching templates by Bazzill that I haven't used in ages.

Supplies used: card stock - white; patterned paper - scrap from my stash; stamp from Season of Joy by Stampin' Up; ink - Tuxedo Black by Memento; In Stitch'z template by Bazzill; DMC floss #'s 905, 906 and 907; Pop Dots.

So Sweet

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and has some fun plans. We are going to dinner and a movie tonight with some dear friends of ours. I'm really looking forward to it!!


I've had this In Stichz template by Bazzill for several years now. I finally pulled it out last weekend and whipped up this card.

I used some Spellbinders nestabilities to cut out the strawberry that I had stitched on kraft cardstock. Also used the nestabilities on a piece of red cardstock. Glued them together and punched a hole in the corner so that I could run my ribbon through it. Border punched a strip of patterned paper, which I attached to my card base.  Tied the ribbon around my card and through the strawberry piece which I had put pop dots on. Stamped the sentiment and punched out with an oval punch. attached it to a scalloped oval punched piece of red cardstock, which was also attached to the card base with pop dots.

The sentiment stamp is from Stephanie's Whimsical Fun Vol.1, which you can purchase here.
This has definitely become my "go to" stamp set.

Supplies used: cardstock - green, red, white and kraft embossed; patterned paper - Strawberry Fields from Garden Variety by Cosmo Cricket; ribbon - Making Memories; Labels 1 Nestabilities by Spellbinders; scallop oval punch - Stampin' Up; border punch - Martha Stewart; Bazzill In Stitchz template; floss - DMC; sentiment stamp - Whimsical Designs; Pop Dots.
