Tag Punch Wreath

Our Stampin' Up group; Women in Ink met yesterday with Kathy Thorn one of our upline from Utah. Some of her downline supervisors and managers from our area came also. This was a new group to me. Wow, I am impressed with these people. Linda Jensen, her husband and some of her group were so nice. She seems to be quite the "Den Mother" . She and her husband run the business together and make quite a team. Enough said...

We had a shoe box swap and card contest. This was my entry. Here are some brief instructions that I layed on the table for people to make this card. I tied for 1st place with Lis Ljung (my up upline. Whoo Hoo!) I stamped and embossed the tags before hand for a touch of glitz and then gilded the edges with a gold pen for elegance. I will post a picture of Lis's card later.

Kimono Card

I designed this card and designed the doublesided paper to be cut on my Pazzles Pro cutter (www.pazzles.com). Both sides of the Kimono open up. But this one I decided to put a solid Obi around the middle so it would not open up. The tag pushes into the middle neck portion . All you see when pushed in is the top of the tag "neck portion" and the ribbon that is tied to the eyelet at the top so the receiver will pull on the ribbon to reveal the sentiment.
