SIP.. Anything But a Card!

Hi everyone,

 

The challenge this week at SIP is to create anything but a card:

 

                                                 

                

 

I created 2 wine tags; one for Christmas and one for Thanksgiving.  Since I don't have a wine tag die, I created my own template. I used some old Martha Stewart stickers that I bought at Michael's in clearance several years ago.  The sentiment was computer generated.

 

 

 

For my Thanksgiving tag, I used a retired Stampin Up stamp set for the sentiment (which I can't remember the name of it).  For the Fall leaves, I used Creative Memories leaf cutter paper punch (one of my favorites - I've had it for about 20 years!).

  

 

Enjoy your weekend,

A Little Birthday Wish

Happy Friday,

 

I had some free time last night, so I thought I'd play along over at Seize the Birthday Challenge. 

They have a beautiful ocean color combo that I couldn't resist:

 

 

                                                                                                       

                                                            (Blue, Green and or Aqua)
                                                       Neutrals are always welcome too!

 

 

 

 

I couldn't resist CASE'ing this gorgeous card from the talented Barbara Anders.  This is my favorite flower stamp (I can see why it's constantly out of stock!).  I'm planning to make a bunch of cards with this stamp set, insert them in clear greeting card boxes and give them out to my friends for Christmas. 

 

 

Thanks for popping in today,

 

 

Supplies:

 

Paper: Neenah Classic Crest White Cardstock
