EXCITING NEW PRODUCT!!!
ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD

(Can't show it to you yet!!!)

This fantastic product is available beginning on September 1, 2013. You can pre-order today (ONLY $19.95) and I will throw in a sampler pack of  pre-cut 6" x 6" holiday Designer Series Paper FREE of charge.  The order will go in on September 1st and be back by the 10th. Look at some of these great features:

  • It creates totally customizable envelopes in up to 66 different sizes (not to mention a million different color and pattern options depending on the paper you want to use).
    Even tried and true envelope sizes will only take you moments to create!
  • It's super easy to use. It looks intimidating at first glance, but when you see that all you have to do is measure for the first punch and from there you just turn and score
  • It's small and lightweight; it's super portable and easy to store. It's small and light enough that you could use it while watching a soccer match, at a park, at a friend's for craft night-anywhere.
  • It even has a slick scoring tool as well as a punch that lets you create rounded corners on your envelopes.
  • It's easy to keep it all together; the stylus storage compartment and two punches are designed into the tool so you don't have a bunch of little pieces to keep track of (even the instructions are printed right on the tool so you won't lose them!).
  • The price is terrific-especially for a tool that does so much!
  • It will be in next year's annual catalog, so it's here to stay. 

So - get your order in to me TODAY and take advantage of this wonderful offer!

August Stamp of the Month - Tag It



August Stamp of the Month Blog Tour - TAG IT

Welcome to your next stop on the RemARKables Blog Tour.  If you're taking the tour in order, you've arrived via Pam Staples' blog, http://www.sunnygirlscraps.com 

 

My first contribution is an early Christmas card.  It was so much fun trying out many new products from the Holiday catalog. I started with a Cherry Cobbler card base and added a layer of Whisper White stamped with Cherry Cobbler using the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set. I then embossed it with the Big Shot and the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The two red circles were created using the 1-3/4" Circle Punch and topped with a Frosted Finishes Embellishment.

 

I added a couple of strips from the Season of Style Designer Washi Tape. I'm working on putting more layered effects into my cards. This was accomplished by using the Santa Tag It Stamp, hand- colored with Cherry Cobbler and Gumball Green Stampin' Write Markers. The tag is hanging from a triple layer of Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine and was cut out using the Chalk Talk framelits.  I added a small "ribbon" of Whisper White Card Stock with the "Ho Ho Ho" stamped in Gumball Green from the Oh, Goodie! Stamp Set.



Finally - to create a "finished look" to the card, I added a layer of Whisper White Card Stock topped with two more strips of the Season of Style Designer Washi Tape.

My second card was made using the new Label Card Thinlits Dies. I started with Whisper White Card Stock, ran it through the Big Shot first with the Thinlits and then using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

The labels were created with Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper and with Whisper White (inside.) I cut two additional strips of Gingham Garden DSP to outline the edges of the card - then punched the butterfly out of DSP using the Elegant Butterfly Punch.


The two circles on the front of the label were made using Island Indigo Card Stock and Strawberry Slush Card Stock as well as the 1-1/4" Circle Punch and 1-3/8" Circle Punch. They are completed using the Vintage Faceted Designer Button and Island Indigo Baker's Twine. The Butterfly is adorned with the Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The back of the label cut out on the inside of the card uses Whisper White sponged with Island Indigo Ink and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. A Get Well Card - with the sentiment coming from our TAG IT Stamp Set. 






Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog tour.  Your next stop is my friend, Jeannette Swain's blog,  http://www.stampsnwhatnot.com - which you can reach by clicking on the blog icon below.  

Have a GREAT Sunday!
