Tags Till Christmas

Ciao Bella,

                   I am still busy busy these days getting ready for next months craft shows…this weekend I worked on Gift Tags…but before I share.. I need to share a little secret with you first…In my house we don't use gift tags….oh no the world just might end…I know…years ago when my kids were little, there was all that "some assembly required" stuff, and then when they were older we lived overseas …and I learned that tags and bows don't mail well… So In my house, I buy each person there own special gift wrap…..and yes Including one for me so my Dear Husband and Kids just have to ask "Mom where's YOUR wrapping paper"….and then when all is said and done … all the pretty wrapping either goes into the trash or the fire place…and the thought of my home made tags…going there… is very hard for me…so in my house…that doesn't happen …

Ok …. But for the rest of the world Christmas Gift Tags, are a necessity…and I'm ok that…so let me share with you some gift tags, I made for the craft Fairs ….

 

Aren't they cute, and SOOOO SOOOO simple ….I used the Tags Till Christmas stamp Set ( 121169) pg. 24 in the Holiday Mini Catalog… And all the stamps in that have a coordinating punch to go with it …it makes it easy to have perfect tags every time… My new favorite punch is the Decorative Label (120907) Extra Large Punch, pg. 24 in the Holiday Mini Catalog….

I'm still working on a super cute way to package these… and I think I found one, however I'm going to reveal that in a tutorial During My 12 weeks of Christmas Special… During this Special ONLY my Newsletter Subscribers will receive a Special Gift email from me containing projects, tutorials and other surprises… This 12 weeks of Christmas will start on October 4th…If you are not a newsletter subscriber, sign up today to you can get your 12 Weeks of Christmas…

 

If you are still searching for my clue for this weeks free drawing for a $400 Stampin Up! Shopping Spree…scroll down…it's in Saturday's Post…

Exploding Scrapbook Page Box

Ciao Bella,

               What a rainy Sunday, that's ok … it will mean more opportunity to keep creating…so since I'm in a whirlwind of creatation right now…I thought I would remind you of my Ronald McDonald House Charities Fundraiser…I'm trying to raise enough money for RMHC so the kids and their families have enough crafting supplies to keep their holidays bright…

 

 

So as a reminder,  I am selling these kits and the proceeds will be used to purchase stamps, paper and ink or any other Stampin' Up products that the Kids at the Ronald McDonald House want or need.  With the Holidays right around the corner wouldn't be great to let these kids have a "glittery" good time …..So order you kit to help these kids enjoy the Holidays…

Each kit contains Presto Pattern Designer Series Paper, Old Olive Card Stock, Very Vanilla Card Stock, Razzleberry Ribbon, Old Olive Ribbon, all PRE CUT and Scored, ready to assembly….

To complete the project you would need the Punch Pack Punches and Razzlebery and Old Olive Classic Inks and the Vintage Vogue Stamp set…

you will also receive a PDF tutorial with pictures on how to assemble this one of a kind project.

To order your exploding box scrapbook kit for $20 which includes shipping  email me at sherry@sherrystampinbella.com  .

If you are a Stampin Up Demonstrator and want to purchase enough kits for a class please let me know so I can  give you a bulk rate…

The Mermaid Rag Bag

Ciao Bella,

         Well, yesterday I spent my day sewing, I know you are scared now aren't you…Me and a sewing machine, Never a good combination…but I have to admit we got along pretty well…slow moving but pretty well…Now you are asking Why?…

I have been asked to have a craft vendor booth and 2 different events here in Hinesville…The first one is a 3 day affair at the Hinesville's Oktoberfest, lots of people and lots of Christmas shopping and the other is the Liberty County Fall Festival another large crowd event…both are next month in October…so I have a lot of getting ready to do… not only do they want all my paper crafting cards and gifts they also want all the vintage fabric items…which means the RagBags…

   So today I thought I would share with you a Rag Bag that to me reminds me of Mermaids…The bag is not finished, I have embellishing to do, but I wanted to give a little something…These are really easy to make too..

Here is a close up of the Fabric… Can you see why it reminds me of a Mermaid…All I need to do is add some "shiny" to it because we all know mermaids are distracted by shiny things…and I'm all set…

The Key to making these bags, is to use the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine(113439) pg. 204 in the IB&C, with the Scallop Square Die( 115950) pg. 207 in the IB&C…

If you are interested in learning to make these one of a kind bags… I offer private classes just for these bags…all you have to do is email me and we can find a time that works for you….

 

 

 


Now for those of you who enjoyed the scavenger hunt for $400 SU Shopping Spree…There is another round starting today…this time it is a little different…

 you need to search for 20 blogs with LNS owl logo, find the clues, when you find 20 clues … now it's a little different this time… EMAIL ME with all 20 clues and I will enter your name into the drawing…and as a bonus for my customers( sorry no demos), I will send you a little treat as well…

to find other Blogs with the LNS logo go to   http://yourhiredscrapbooksupplies.blogspot.com/2010/09/late-night-stamper-scavenger-hunt-round.html 

So what is my Clue….. What Die Did I use to make the Rag Bag?

Have fun and good luck

Just Believe…

Ciao Bella,

              I'm still having fun with the Just Believe Stamp Set (120453) on pg. 109 in the Idea Book and Catalog…..

 

These were so easy to make, I just used my Stampin' Write Markers directly on the stamp to get a variety of colors….I'm telling you so so easy to make… I did leave the box in the center empty…I'm going to write the name of the person who is going to receive it in the box…just for that personalized touch…..

Just a short post today…. I'm working on the scrap pages for my Vintage Scrapbooking page Class, and creating something special for my Newsletter subscribers…

Don't forget today is the last day to sign up for my Trick or Treat Made Easy Class…..see my classes and events page for more information …

Take a look…..

Isn't it just darling ….And Many of the stamp camp Participants who were on information overload asked if I would post a tutorial on how to make it.

and I will but before I do …I thought since I had quite a few kits left over I thought I would offer these kits with the tutorial as a fundraiser for the Ronald MacDonald Charities.  So that means that I will sell selling these kits and the proceeds will be used to purchase stamps, paper and ink or any other Stampin' Up products that the Kids at the Ronald MacDonald House want or need.  With the Holidays right around the corner wouldn't be great to let these kids have a "glittery" good time …..So order you kit to help these kids enjoy the Holidays…

Each kit contains Presto Pattern Designer Series Paper, Old Olive Card Stock, Very Vanilla Card Stock, Razzleberry Ribbon, Old Olive Ribbon, all PRE CUT and Scored, ready to assembly….To complete the project you would need the Punch Pack Punches and Razzlebery and Old Olive Classic Inks and the Vintage Vogue Stamp set…you will also receive a tutorial with pictures on how to assemble this one of a kind project.

To order your exploding box scrapbook kit for $20 which includes shipping  email me at sherry@sherrystampinbella.com  .
