Best Day Ever Card using the Bow builder punch.
Here is the second card we created at January club. This card features the Best Day Ever stamp set and the Bow builder punch. I liked the color combo from this Seasonally Scattered card I created as a convention sample so I thought I'd use the color combo and some of the design elements again on the Best Day Ever card.
We sure love our Sandy, Utah neighbors! Every year I usually gift something homemade. We wanted to thank them for being such awesome neighbors and friends. This summer I made a ton of jam in various flavors (all fruits from the garden) and thought this would be a nice farewell gift, along with some yummy great harvest bread.
Similar style packaging as my previous posts... I am pleased with how these turned out. Super cute! I hope they all enjoy. We will miss our neighbors.
Jam labels fit in 2.5" circle punch.
Homemade jam from the garden: strawberry, raspberry, peach & blackberry.
Stack 4 jam jars in kraft gift bag.
Neighbor tag design.
Tile tags, print and cut out.
I love this trend of brown paper packages tied up with string - baker's twine. I've used this look a bit in my holiday gift wrapping this year. First with little gift packages I created for the gals at card club. These gifts are packaged in printed chevron kraft bags and topped with red card stock, a doily and a printed label.

Second with the 12 days of Craftmas gifts I annually prepare. I usually make three sets of 12 days packages but due to my stress level this year I only got one completed. And, too boot - not delivered on time. Oh well. It's the thought, right? These packages are wrapped in kraft butcher's paper and tied up with tinsel trim. I also used a paper doily on these gifts. The presents seemed a little plain without the doily and I like how it helps to showcase the tag which states which day to open the gift.
I created the tags in illustrator for both and used the Harmon font family for most of the typesetting. I am please with how these gifts turned out and hope they were and will be fun to open.

We used the Seasonally Scattered stamp set at the December club, this time focusing on the MERRY image stamp. We heat embossed the MERRY image onto vellum with silver embossing powder and then created a pocket using Washi tape to create another shaker card. We added the Christmas phrase using the large alphabet rotary stamp.
