Easy Fun Gift Tags

Our little project for June stamp club will be these fun little birthday gift tags. My goal for each month's club is to make three cards and one small project. This was the perfect simple, yet customizable project. I used one of my favorite yet retired stamp sets, Big Day. I love the ability to color the stamps. In the end, I did a fun combo of colors and accessories. My favorite is the tag with the Calypso Coral pom pom trim.

• Stamps: Big Day
• Inks: Basic Gray; lots of random markers
• Cardstock: Whisper White
• Accessories: Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim; Calypso Coral Pom Pom Trim; random scraps of ribbon; silver glitter tape

Sale-a-Bration Birthday Cards

I love Sale-a-Bration time!  Spend $50 from any of the SU catalogs and get a free exclusive SAB product. Between pre-order and regular orders this January, I've gotten five free products from the SAB brochure. These two cards highlight two of my free products.

Card #1

For my first card, I wanted to have some fun with the sentiment from the Big Day stamp set. Each color is stamped once full strength and then two more times without reinking. We get a nice gradual lightening effect. But just a sentiment seemed much too plain for a card. So I made my own little strip of alternating DSP to step it up a bit. In the end, I needed even more to the card. I added the pom pom trim and everything came together.

Card #2

For the second card I knew I want to plan with coloring. The Big Day stamp set is perfect for coloring. I had so much fun making this card. I want to make more using different colors.
