Stampin' Up! Quick Cards & Tags Using Cheerful Tags Bundle

At this time of year, I am always super busy getting gifts & Chritsmas cards finished for teacher & friend gifts.  It's coming to the end of the school year & I have so many presents to buy & cards to make, Ugh! How about you?  Do you need some ideas?

Last week I held a quick cards & tag class with this specific need in mind.  The cards had to be quick & easy so I could make a bunch at once & I made a matching tag for each card.  The Cheerful tags framelit dies are a great choice for the tags & I really enjoyed using them.  I give lots of bottles of wine at Christmas & for those who dont drink I give bottles of special vinegar or olive oil.

The cards were really just DSP & a stitched circle framelit, with a strip of ribbon for embelishment.  Oh & of course I added a bit of bling to make the recipient feel special.

Quick Card & Tag Class using Presents & Pinecones DSP.

Bottle tag & matching card in gold

Bottle tag & matching card in Silver & Emerald Envy. 

I just love the colours in the Presents & Pinecones DSP & it coordinates with gold or silver perfectly.

I used the Tin Of Tags stamp set on the circles on the cards as well as a great set from the annual catalogue called Better Together.  Have you checked out the Closeout Sale?  You will find some of the things I used here are actually on sale! Woohoo!  If you click on the products below you will be taken to my online store, where you can view the Close Out Sale items.  The Layering Circle Framelit dies are an overstock item & are part of this sale too!

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 7 Centre Step Peaceful Pines Card

Here we are at week 7 & I have a quick & easy centre step card to share with you.  I have used a favourite colour combo for this card - Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon & Pear Pizzazz. It is so easy you could whip up 10 in the one sitting.

I swore I wasnt buying the Peaceful Pines stamp set, but I secumbed to its lovely images & cute trees a week ago.  This comes as a bundle too so you can save 15% buying it that way.  The images lend themselves to a bit of bling or sparkle quite nicely.  I let the stars do all the shining on this card though.

To make the base centre step card you need to follow a bit of a tutorial.  I could write up one & share it here, but why go to all that trouble when there are plenty out there already.   I just googled centre step cards & heaps of different instructions came up.  I have used Di Barne's one for this card, but you could use whichever suits your project.  I love that Di's instructions allow for a half sheet of A4 card stock, which means I can make twice as many of these cards!  She has a printable instruction sheet on her blog & lots of other ideas too.
