To kick off our Punny Valentine Hop A thow back from our beloved Lindsay Martin- Penny featuring Lawn Fawn’s You Goat This   There is something about this card that always make me smile. This is an excerpt from the original post…

A few cute images and a punny sentiment, and I had my card:

 

 

I find this sentiment particularly funny as it’s a little more unexpected than some of the usual critter puns. Since it was also the perfect reason to play with these fun Lawn Fawn goat stamps (and dies) again, it was even better. For the water, I die cut a Poppystamps whittle wave background, then trimmed it so I could use it as a mask on the card base with some salty ocean distress ink. Stamped and embossed my sentiment, and my CAS card was done!

A little Christmas Inspiration for you with our BAGS, TAGS ‘N GIFT WRAP HOP!  I had so much fun creating tags with this cookie set from sizzix.

 

I even iced a few with my Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy stuff.  I love the look but my icing skills need a little more practice.

You all know how to make tags right?  Apologies if you don’t but it is simple. Just fold your card stock in half and then line up your die so it is just hanging of the edge.  I secured four across with some washi tape and ran it through my machine and TAH DAH!

On to the wrapping paper. I created a stencil with card stock by cutting out my base cookie dies on a sheet of cardstock only single layer this time.  I then stenciled the shapes onto kraft paper.  I used a White Posca paint pen to ice them. If you are not comfortable doing this free hand you could use the icing die cuts and trace around them.

Add a little bakers twine and I’m done!
