Yep, I know I missed last night. For the third Friday in a row, we had free tickets to Arena Racing USA in Richmond. That means we get home for work, change, throw some snacks and juice boxes in a bag for the boy, and head to Richmond. The races last for about 3 hours and we got home at midnight. The last two Fridays, I was able to post stuff I had made in my classroom during the day, but I spent all of my free time yesterday coming up with a new application for my yearbook staff applicants. So technically I did create SOMETHING. :-)I went ahead and made two goodies for today to make up for yesterday. The first thing I made was the card. I love this stamp set, Trendy Trees. I got the idea for the box around the stamped image from another card I saw online. I drew the lines freehand, using a scrap of cardstock as a "ruler" but I didn't want my lines completely uniform.
The second thing I made was the bookmark. I've seen a lot of demonstrators using their punches in ways I hadn't thought of, by pulling only part of the cardstock through the punch. I used the decorative label punch to make the fancy edges of the bookmark.
Supply List
Stamps: Trendy Trees, Pines and Poinsettias (2011 Holiday Mini)
Cardstock: Pretty In Pink, Wild Wasabi, Very Vanilla
Ink: Pretty In Pink, Wild Wasabi, Soft Suede (I used markers since these were small images)
Accessories: Decorative Label punch, Chocolate Chip scalloped polka dot ribbon, stapler
I really like these colors together! I also like how the punch was used for something other than a punched shape :)
