rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge #285

 Good Morning, Stampers!

This week's rubberFUNatics challenge is Anything

BUT a Card! This idea is an oldie but a goodie - 

 a tag and gift in one!

I created the tag using the Let's Go Shopping bundle.

then, I added a little strip of cardstock to the bag with a little 

adhesive on each each end - leaving the center open.

This allows me to slip the tag thru the opening to display.

This idea could even work to reuse a gift bag, too!

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Let's Go Shopping
Ink: Versamark
Paper: Basic White, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy, Les Shoppes DSP, , Vellum, Gold Dazzle, Gold Foil
Accessories: Let's Go Shopping dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Night of Navy ribbon, Vanilla/Gold ribbon, Gold embossing powder, heat tool, Adhesive-Backed Metallic dots, Distressed Tile embossing folder
Gift Bag: Hobby Lobby

Thanks so much for stopping by today - I hope you found a little inspiration in this gift bag!

and these Spring butterfly bags caught my eye right away. These

butterflies look just like our NEW Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and

All it needed was a tag to go along with it!

I added the Well Written and Stitched So Sweetly

This month, we are celebrating Winter Holidays!

Whether you are arriving from Sue's blog or just starting

out, you are going to love what we have to share with you!

I'm sure you will find lots of inspiration!

I just had to include the adorable Santa Suit in my projects!

Afterall, what is Christmas without Santa, right??!! 

My first project is a card and gift in one.

I created a pocket at the top of the card...

that pulls out to reveal $$$$. Since the gift is on

the front, there is plenty of room to write a message

on the inside, too!

And if you end up on the "naughty list", here is a 

cute little treat box filled with chocolate "coal".

I printed the sentiment onto cardstock and

cut using the Layering Circle Framelits.

SU!pplies:

Stamps: Santa Suit

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Archival Basic Black

Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Be Merry DSP

Accessories: Everyday Label punch, Scallop Tag Topper punch, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon, Pattern Party Decorative Masks, Sponge Dauber, Ticket Tear border punch, Black Metallic thread, Santa Builder framelits, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Layering Circle framelits, Mini Treat Bag thinlits

A Paper Pumpkin Thing - June 2017

Good Morning, Stampers!

What a delicious hop we have for you today!

It is definitely One in a Melon!

The kit is perfect timing for the sumertime!

I'm so glad you are joining us for a blog hop featuring 

alternative ideas using the June My Paper Pumpkin Kit!

If you are following along on the hop, you are arriving from Maria's blog.

I love what she did with the kit supplies!

If you are just starting here, follow along at the 

bottom and you will be directed around the hop!

I kept with the watermelon theme and recreated a card.

I crumbled the tissue included in the kit and adhered it to

a piece of white cardstock, Then, I was able to add that

as a layer to the card front. Notice the rind? I added

a layer of Lemon Lime Twist to look just like the bags. 

Of course, scraps can go a long way when you use 

them in your projects!

For the treat, I found a package of watermelon licorice 

decided it would make a great summertime hostess gift!

Who doesn't love a sweet treat??!!

I fringed the tissue and embossed the a little something with Versamark 

and clear embossing powder and added the sweet die cut 

from the Cupcake Cut Outs framelits to finish off the tag. 

Thanks somuch for hopping by!

Happie Stampin'!
