I did these for my little nieces/nephew. Their the sip/stir cups(I got them at JoAnns) I put their names/sippy cup on them. I put white paper so you could see. I used Plantin Schoolbook and Lyrical Letters for the font.

SAVE THE DATE

clic on pics to enlarge
Here is  a "pull tag" I made for someone at work she needed something within a week. I made 20 of them. She LOVES IT!!!!!! I'm very proud of myself. This is the first for "business" project I've done. I must say.....it was kind of fun making something for $$....LOL!!!  Her wedding colors are black and gold.
supplies:
gypsy
carts-Sweetheart,  George & Basic Shapes, Plantin Schoolbook
cardstock: black, white and gold
Dazzling Diamods glitter from SU
Sentiment was done on the computer

the envelope is from the sweetheart cart, I didn't like the V cut in it so I welded a square to cover it. I used the double rings and welded 3 "prongs" (retangles) to one of the rings then sized the diamond down to fit and hid the partial ring. I applied glue to the diamond and sprinkled dazzling diamonds. BOY!! does it SPARKLE!! The letters are from Plantin Schoolbook













The tag is also from Sweethearts. I welded the Bride and Groom to rectangles and put the sentiment in the middle that was done on the computer. Added gold ribbon along the top.













Like I said, she wanted 20 of them......hummmmmm....how do I present them......so I made two bags from Plantin Schoolbook and put 10 cards in each one. GORGEOUS isn't it???























Despite the crunch time...it was fun especially since I got PAID!!!! I LOVE the $$ but I'm NOT for hire very often...ROTFLOL!!! This is my hobby not my business!!!!

I know your thinking....WHAT???
I live about 600 miles from my niece, I knew my old car wouldn't make it that far. I couldn't fly because I wanted to visit "The Container Store" and get some more shelving units for my crafts(shipping is expensive!)....you can't fit those in a suitcase....LOL!! PLUS I had to shop ALL the SUPER CRAFT Storess...ss. I couldn't miss this important day....I mean opportunity.....ROTFLOL!!!! So I bought a new SUV.......long story short...the wedding/family gathering/SHOPPING FOR CRAFTS was SUPER FANTASTIC!!!! See...the card is funny!!! Especially since the family is still debating....did I go for the wedding or the CRAFTS......hhhmmmmm I'll never tell....
