PCC319 One Last Christmas Card!

Hi There!  I hope you are more ready for Christmas than I am!  I've been sick for about 3 weeks and wow has it ever gotten me behind!  I have boxes of gifts stacked up and not wrapped.  I have not finished my Christmas Cards!  It's really, really B.A.D...... So here I go with one last Christmas Card for the new Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge!

Here's what I came up with this....

This one is featuring some retired stuff.. and lots of it.  The patterned paper is retired from Fun Stamper's Journey.  The sentiment is a retired Stampin Up! set, called Mingle All The Way.  I love good sentiment sets so I hold onto them after retiring if it is something I think I will use.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina

Thanksgiving Wine Tag

Guess what?  I got some awesome news!! My son and his sweet Kaci have offered to host Thanksgiving for our family!  Yay God!  I am so blessed!  She is a wonderful cook and they just moved into a new home.  I'm super excited!  So... since Kaci loves wine, I thought I'd pick up a bottle on the way with this cute little wine tag attached to it! What do you think?

 

These tags are sooooo simple to make!  I started out with an 11" x 3" piece of Crushed Curry Cardstock and scored the 11" side at 3 1/2".  I used a 1 1/2" circle punch to punch out the hole in the center of that small section and rounded the corners.  I added some retired DSP that was

7 1/4" x 2 3/4".  My note tag was stamped with a sentiment from the Mingle all the Way Stamp Set (also retired).  I punched a hole in the end and attached some Mossy Meadow scrunched seam binding.  I adhered some loops of Linen Thread with Dimensionals and tied on a wooden embellishment and then attached the tag to the same dimensionals that were holding down the

linen thread.  How easy is that?? I may make my next one a bit shorter.. just a thought

but still super cute!

SIP Challenge #22 Free For Fall

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  It's been a rainy cool couple of days here in Middle Tennessee.  The cool weather is a nice change, although I may not being saying that in a month or so when we are in the single digits!  Since it's Tuesday, it's time for another Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge.  This week's theme is Free For Fall.  Make something with a fall theme and link it up.  It's that simple!

I decided to make some napkin rings. with a Paper Towel roll core, some strips of Burlap, and the Vintage Leaves stamp set and coordinating Leaflet Framelits.  Here's what I made..

I started out with a core from a roll of paper towels that I cut into pieces that were 2" in length.   I then used strips of burlap that were 7" long x 2 1/2" wide.  I used Beacon 3 in 1 glue to adhere the burlap onto the paper towel core by running the glue down both sides of the burlap strip and then tucking it inside of the core roll.  Once it had dried I cut a 6" strip of Stampin' Up! 1 1/4" burlap ribbon and glued it with Beacon glue onto the inside of the core roll to cover any raw edges.    The leaves were stamped by stamping Cajun Craze Ink onto Daffodil Delight for the yellow leaves and Mossy Meadow onto Mossy Meadow Cardstock for the Green Leaves.  The large Oak Leaf was stamped in Early Espresso Ink onto Shimmer White Cardstock and then sponged with Hello Honey, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie Ink.  After I cut the leaves out with the Leaflet Framelits, I arranged them and adhered them to the Napkin Rings with more of the Beacon Glue.  Finally after arranging the leaves, I tied a bow with linen thread on the stems of the leaves.
