How to Use Stash Up For Fun Tag Cards and a Freebie

Hi everyone, I hope you are all healthy and staying safe.  The weather has been great here in Central New York and busy as ever.  As the "card Lady" for my church, I am always looking for ideas to make cards of encouragement that are unique and cheerful.  I came across a sheet of tags that I had printed some time ago ad though I would look for a fun print in my paper stash.  I will show you the cards and then the process, read along, or go right to the freebie for your card making!


Well, how is that for focus!


  
I traced my tag on to a piece of paper to make sure I lined it up properly.  I only had 6 tags and didn't want to stamp on crocked.  

Using a stamp positioner I lined it up


 I also edged each tag




I love using Hug Snug Hem facing for ribbons, they come in a huge selection of colors and are very affordable.  The knots tie easily and will lay very flat for mailing.  here I took snips of the ribbon and gave it a spritz of water and then crunched it up.  once it dries it will stay that way and really looks nice

I make my own glue dots with Aileen's tack it over and over, I used these to hold the tag and ribbon in place

I found some pretty dotted paper and coordinated layers.  
The tags can be take off and used a boo make or in a journal. 
Next time I do this I will heat emboss the scripture stamp.




These were fun to make and I hope fun to receive!

For your card making and maybe my next project!



Thank you for stopping by and Enjoy your weekend!

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
