Big Shot Embossed Card and Card Holder Gift Set
Welcome to the first 2011 VC Rocks Bloghop…you've most likely arrived here from the home page – www.vcrocks.blogspot.com . I am stop number 1!
The theme of this blog hop is using our BIG SHOT MADNESS. The Big Shot has to be my favorite tool – it never leaves my stamping table! The embossing folders are simple to use yet always striking in any project.
This week marked the end of the school year…so it was time to make some teacher thank you gifts. My dear sister, Mary Jo, is an elementary school teacher and advises me on what teachers like/don't like for gifts. She always raves about receiving my handmade cards so I think I have a winner in this project.
This simple yet elegant card used the Elegant Lines embossing folder, Naturals White card stock, Marina Mist 5/8" grosgrain ribbon (which is retiring), scissors, the Just Believe stamp set, Old Olive and Marina Mist inkpads, and the Extra-Large Oval and Decorative Label punches.
I used the leaf stamp and inked up with Old Olive, but first stamped off once. I then stamped the thank you stamp "full strength" in Marina Mist.
For my gifts, I created 5 cards with matching envelopes (yes, I embossed the back flaps too – gorgeous!). I then embossed an acetate card box and created a tag using our new Perfect Pennants die (it's probably my favorite item in the upcoming catalog) and the 1-3/4" circle punch. I also used some retired silver stretch cord to attach the tag.
Here is the back of the box ~

I hope you bookmark my site or subscribe to my blog. I've got some fabulous new programs I'm unveiling in the coming weeks. You can also find me on my Facebook page – Stamp With Jane!
What is VC Rocks…and why do I love it?? VC Rocks is an online community where members share their love of stamping before, during, and after the Stampin' Up! convention. If you can't go (or even if you can) to convention, you can get your "stampin' mojo fix" with challenges, swaps, and discussions! I have "met' many fabulous stamping demos and nondemos through this group.
