Mixing it up in the Bubble!

An entire day in the Bubble! Whooott! I wish I had a stack of cards to show for 12 hours but, alas, I do not. I spent time straightening parts of the Bubble and playing 'fantasy Stampin' Up catalog ordering"...if guys can play pretend fantasy football...I can play pretend catalog ordering - Right?!

I did manage to complete a tag and a card.

I really like making tags - I use them as 'cards' - placing an area on the back for a note, sentiment, and signature.

G-Thanks
Front of tag:
~Chipboard tag
~Design paper and strip of coordinating paper along the bottom
~Scallop circle chipboard
~Scallop cardstock stamped withe 'G-thanks' using Stampin' Up Old Olive, edge dotted with SU Stampin Write More Mustard
~Polka dot grosgrain ribbon
Back of tag:
~Design paper
~Sentiment "You overwhelm me with awesomeness."
Challenges
Polka Doodles - tag
Southern Girls - chipboard

I'm thinking I'm going to continue mixing my old Stampin' Up treasures with my new Stampin' Up treasures. I need to dust off my oldies and put them to work...after all I liked them well enough at ONE point to purchase them...they just need a little love. I mixed SU generations on my previous post Poppin' Poppies; here is today's mix... it took LOTS and LOTS of cutting for these flowers - but worth the effect. My next Stampin' Up order will DEFINITELY include the Blossom Punch!

  4. Nancy, I'm with you on the fantasy SU ordering! LOL! I usually just want it ALL!

    I've never even made a tag - but I love yours. Really like the DP you used for this.
    Your card is beautiful! Those pretty blossoms are wonderful and you had a lot of patience in cutting them out!
    Two wonderful creations.
