B.Y.O.P.

This gift card is one of the items we made at my recent club workshop.  The stamp set "Buy Your Own Gift" is one of my favorites and useful stamps in the annual catalog.  You can even purchase it as a Bundle with the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Die on page 62.  However, I used a different design for this gift card from a swap I received from Audrey Romonosky.  The base of my card is Old Olive and is cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  It is scored at 1 1/2" and then at 4 1/4".  The DSP is from the Pretty Petals DSP pack and cut at 1 1/2" x 5 1/4".  I stamped the B.Y.O.P. with Old Olive ink on Very Vanilla cardstock. I made the Calypso Coral bow with the Bow Builder Punch. The ribbon is retired, unfortunately because I didn't have any other Old Olive ribbon, but I'm sure the cotton Pear Pizzazz ribbon would work.

Father's Day Vest

Today, my workshop was a Father's Day Vest Card.  The idea came from a swap from Frances Wagner.  They really turned out cute.  We made them using the Envelope Punch Board, and using the Adventure Bound DSP Stack  #132708 (soon to retire).

We stamped "Happy Father's Day" inside using the Crazy About You stamp set, and used the Basic Metal Buttons #133319 with Glue Dots.

We made the Bow Tie using the Bow Builder Punch.

Berry Baskets

Just had so much fun making these Berry Baskets with the new Berry Basket Bigz Die #137366 that is in the Occasions 2015 Catalog.  They are so easy and fun to make.  The colors I used were Marina Mist, Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delights and you can see how I made them below in the videos.

Berry Basket with Bows and Liner

I love making these little Berry Baskets.  The video below shows you how to make them.  I cut mine out from Marina Mist cardstock and cut out the Marina Mist DSP for the liner.  Then I attached a bow made with the Bow Builder Punch to attach to the sides.  These 4" little baskets will make cute little Easter baskets, May Baskets, Birthday baskets, so many uses.  I plan to make some more tomorrow.

Wonderous Wreath with Bow Punch

Thought I'd make a bow from the new Bow Builder Punch (Occasions 2015) to put with my Wonderous Wreath card.  The little bow will be so cute on small packages.  My colors are Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Wild Wasabi and Whisper White.  I used the largest Banner Framelit and Wonderous Wreath Framelit Dies.  I used the Stylist Stripes Embossing Folder.  I stamped the verse with Craft White..
