New Cards

Its that time of year where I will be needing a lot of Thankyou cards at the store. Activities and preschool are starting to end now and then it will be regular school year end and grad.

The stamps and dies used on these cards are from Papertrey Ink.

This card also used Papertrey on a premade card base from Michaels.

I gave some of these cards to my Mom with a couple of packaged tea bags that she could include when she gave someone a card. She likes to give little cards and gifties to her friends. I left the Thankyou off one of the cards so she could give it to someone who just needed a little cheering up and a nice cheery cup of tea.  Thanks for looking.

Paper Flowers

Don't ya just love it when you find a new way to make something and you already have the stuff? Dawn McVey has a great video on You Tube that shows you how to make these cute paper flowers using a scalloped circle punch (which I just happen to have in my stash). This is why its great to have a stash. The ones with the repurposed book paper flowers are similar to the ones she demonstrated. The ones with the wrapping paper scraps are attached to our regular sized manilla luggage tags. The stamp on the tag is from Stampin Up.

More Tags

These tags come in two sizes. The coloured ones in pink, blue or green are 3 3/4 by 2 inches. The biege are 4 3/4 by 2 1/2 inches. They come undecorated but I've stuck a few flowers from chez Dollar Store on them to show how you can jazz them up with little effort or expense. Packages of 10 tags are $2.50. Buy 5 packages pay for 4.
