Flags & Tags


Let Them Wave

Flags, pennants, and tags are all the rage right now in card making and scrapbooking.  When you see these cute card ideas you'll understand why!


 How cute is this?  I love that the butterflies fly right off of the tags.  Such a cute idea...whoever came up with it is such a smartie!!


The little tags hanging off of the band of card stock is so cute.  It makes you feel like the hot air balloon is rising over the carnival entrance banner!



Totally Royal and with the honeycomb background it's perfect for the Queen Bee in your life.  (Ugh...that was a bad pun, but I just had to go there!)



Until Next Time . . .

Flower Power


A rose by any other name . . .

Flowers can be stamped, of course, but how fun is it when we make them dimensional?  Here are couple of cute ideas for you to 'pick' from . . .




The flower below is cut from a Soda Pop Can using the Big Shot.  Although the flower edges don't come out too sharp, be careful when cutting open the can.  Use Gloves!!  Then use Sticky Strip to hold the flower pieces together on the card.  Cute huh?



Until Next Time . . .

Simple Sentiments


EZ - PZ Designs!

I love to go over the top with my cards most of the time.  However, sometimes something simple can be just right.  Here are few ideas from Stampin' Friends that I thought you might like to try . . . 

One big flower on a Whisper White background, a dot of Bling from Basic Rhinestones, and a simple sentiment on a popped up banner and you have a great way to say Thank You!


Want something make gifts faster?  How about our great Note Cards & Envelopes?  Just add a card stock banner, and a circle sentiment popped on top...make the whole package and give them as a gift!  Super Simple, but you'll be the best friend ever!



Isn't this last card simply elegant?  Cut a frame out of paper and sponge through it...or stamp your ink pad directly on the card stock.  Then stamp your image and simple sentiment.  Although this one is matted on Basic Black, then back onto Whisper White...it's still simple to make but packs a punch of elegance for the receiver! 



Creating greetings and gifts doesn't have to be hard work.  Just give it that little 'KISS' (Keep It Simple Sweetie) and Viola!  

Until Next Time . . .
