Happy Moments Tag card

Hope you are all surviving this cold weather. I had my first major incident due to weather on Friday when my outside water pipe decided to burst. This would had been less drastic if my stopcock inside had worked only it didn't - all it did was turn round & round without actually turning the water off arghhhhhh......... This resulted in me having to practically clear my driveway to find the outside stopcock. How many of you actually know the precise location of yours? Well I do now as I have measured its precise location & placed it in my phonebook so if I need to find it when we get another 2 foot of snow I should find it more quickly which hopefully I will be never have to do again.

Now back to some crafting. As promised here is another quick card made with Stampin Up's Happy Moments set.

Recipe

Stamps: Salebrations Happy Moments

Ink: Versamark, Ruby Red, Old Olive

Paper: Level 1 Hostess gift pack

Misc: 3/4" & 1/2" circle punches, Cropadile, Whisper White Grosgrain ribbon, SU's marker pens, Clear embossing powder

I wanted to use some buttons on this card but I did not own any coordinate ones so I made my own using the 3/4" & 1/2" circle punches. I used the cropadile to make the "button holes" & then shaped them so the were more domed shaped before covering them with versamark ink & 3 layers of clear embossing powder.

The ribbons on the tag are made using SU's 1/4" Whisper White grosgrain ribbon which I have coloured using the markers pen.

Let me know what you think.

Well here I am at last. Hubby has now started a degree & has taken sole possession of the computer so I have been unable to post at all this week but I have just ordered my very own bright pink laptop which should arrive in the next couple of weeks so then it will be all go.

Here's a quick card I made for Amy to send to everyone who sent her presents & cards.

I used Stampin Up's So Swirly jumbo wheel to make the background. I then punched a hole in the card through which the image can be seen. This image was stamped & punched out using the same circle punch so it fits the hole exactly. The hole was decorated with a scalloped border which was made using a scallop circle which had its centre punched out using the circle punch.
