It's already mid-October and I'm finally getting around to sharing my September thank you tags. Whew! The weeks just seem to fly by me. I guess these tags qualify as hybrid, although the only digital part of the tags are the background. I used one of my favorite DSP's Springtime Vintage (which I can still create digitally with My Digital Studio) for the background, but everything else is stamped, punched, and die cut.
One thing I wanted to try out on these tags was whether or not I could stamp with black Stazon ink and then use the white Stampin Chalk Marker to write over the inked image. The answer...Yes! I used one of the images from That's the Ticket stamp set as the black background, allowed it to dry a few minutes and then wrote "thanks" over the black background with the chalk marker. It worked great!

My Strawberry Slush flower was made using the now retired Daisy die (which I love) and Boho Blossom punch.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

A Doily More Amore Valentine

Is it already time to move onto the next holiday? I guess so. I spent several weeks in December creating, of all things, Valentine cards! I shared the first card a few days ago, and I'll be sharing the rest of the Valentine cards over the next several weeks. I have a Hearts A Plenty free tutorial (sorry, it's minus photo-by-photo directions) for a few of them, which you'll be able to find under my Free Tutorials.

This card share uses some items from the new 2013 Stampin Up mini catalog: That's the Ticket stamp set, paper doiley, and the cute designer paper More Amore.
