Snowman Gift Bag

Happy Friday! I am so looking forward to the weekend! It is going to be a busy one. My kids and I are taking part in our Church Annual Living Nativity both tonight and tomorrow. It is a ten scene drive thru that will involve lots of people and live animals too. The kids are excited and so am I!
Today I have a quick and easy gift bag to share with you. I am always in need of gift bags and love when I can make them myself. This one uses a brown paper lunch sack. I punched a hole in the top for a handle with the Wide Oval Punch then stamped snowflakes across the bag with Whisper White Craft Ink and the Serene Snowflake Stamp Set. I added Whisper White Card Stock along the bottom for snow but first I tore the top edge and added Mica Flakes with Tombow Multipurpose glue. It really holds the Mica Flakes in place. To make the snowman and present I used punches. The present is made with the 1" Square Punch and the Blossom Bouquet Triple Lyaer Punch. The Snowman is made with the 1 3/4", 1 3/8" and 1" Circle Punchs, 1" Square Punch, Word Window Punch, Snowflake Punch and the Bird Builder Punch. I added the buttons, eyes and mouth with the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. My snowman looked a little cold so I added a scarf made with the Marina Mist 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon. Now I just need a gift to add inside. I must admit I have not done any shopping this year and I really need to get busy before I can't find what I need.
Well, I am off to start decorating the house. Have a great weekend and Thanks for stopping by! Tonya

New Triple Punch!

Good afternoon! Today I wanted to share with you another one of the cards we did for Stamp Club this week. We used the new Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch and the Bold Blossom Stamp Set from the Summer Mini. The new Triple Punches are quite fun in that you get three different punch options in one punch. We used all three options on this card. The colors we used are In Colors which include Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz and then we also used Regal Rose. Demonstrators got to see one of the new In Colors for the July Catalog this week and it is a new Light Purple color. I can't wait to see the other four new colors, but back to the card. We used Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink for the sentiment and the flower Stems. Additional punches that we used are the Itty Bitty Shape Punch Pack, 1 3/4 x 7/8" Oval Punch. The accessories we used are the Whisper White Baker's Twine, the Pear Pizzazz 1/2 Stitched Poly Ribbon and the Bitty Buttons. If this card looks familiar it is because I used the same layout last week with the Fun Flowers Die and I knew when I made it that I would have to try it again with the new Triple Punch. If you are interested in trying out the new Triple punch give me a call and we can set up a hands on demonstration for you and your friends. Thanks for stopping by today and as always have a great day, Tonya
