CASE-ing the Catty Gift Tags - CTC50

There are so many gift tags featured in the Holiday Catalogue and at CASE-ing the Catty we are highlighting them.

Today I am sharing my first poinsettia which I have made into a gift tag and attached to the baker's box.

You may have come from Julia Quinn or you might be starting here, but don't forget to hop to all the posts as you will love all the gifts on show today.

I have made my poinsettia in Pink Pirouette and I think this box would be great to give a small gift for any occasion not just for Christmas as featured below.

Stamp Set:  Reason for the Season, Homemade for You
Cardstock:  Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, River Rock (retired), So Saffron
Ink: Pink Pirouette, Pear Pizzazz, VersaMark
Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Baker's Box Thinlits Die, Festive Flower Builder Punch, Gold Sequin Trim, Pearl Basic Jewels, Gold Stampin' Embossing Powder, Note Tag Punch, Incolour Printed Clothespins (retired, available in the clearance rack)

I made this cute square pillow box last weekend with my lovely Stampin' Up! team

It's now time to hop over to Judy May and her gift tag this week.

World Card Making Day

What a wonderful beautiful sunny day here in the Adelaide Hills and I even got to go for a spin in a Yellow Porsche.

It's World Card Making Day but I will not get a chance to create today as it's the AFL Grand Final, which I am currently watching and then will be going to a friends new home later in the day. I hope to get to create sometime over this long weekend in Adelaide.

I will inspire you with a card that I have been admiring for a while in the Annual Catalogue, which uses the Wild about Flowers stamp.  This set comes in photopolymer and it's a two-step stamp set for $37.00.

New Stampin' Up! Year ... You Make My Heart Smile

It's with great excitement that I am launching the new Stampin' Up year!

I would especially like to thank my small team, customers and class attendees that make my hobby such a pleasure.  I have met so many wonderful ladies that are now really beautiful friends.

This is a card that describes it all.  "You Make My Heart Smile".  A BIG THANK YOU.

I don't have this set yet, but Timeless Love is available in Clear Mount $29.00 and Wood Mount $40.00.  Below are some more creative designs using this amazing set.
