Valentine Punch Bear Tag – First Posted: Tuesday, January 19, 2010

My project today is a valentines day gift tag with a little bear made from punches.

I punched out numerous circles in 2 shades of brown and played around with them until I was happy with the dimensions, I sponged all of the pieces and added some detail with black and white pens. I cut out a heart 2.5 inches wide, sponged it and stamped my sentiment in the middle. I popped my bear onto the largest spellbinders label four die cut, broke out the big bite and added a large eyelet and some 1/2 inch red ribbon.

3 tier Parcel Card + Template – First Posted: Saturday, January 16, 2010

Todays card is a taller version of yesterdays 2 parcel card, this time comprising of 3 parcels. I sized the template to approx 6.5 inches high which made it approx 3.5 inches wide and my finished card will fit comfortably into a DL sized envelope.

I followed the same method as before, I aligned my template to the RIGHT hand side in Word, I scored along the dotted lines and folded to form my card then cut around the other 3 sides with my craft knife and scissors. I paper pieced the front of the card remembering to add ribbon before sticking my sections down and added my sentiments on little tags.
