Blue Ribbon stamp set – A Stamping Journey

One of my Nephew’s recently graduated from University so I wanted to make a card congratulating him. I didn’t think I had a ‘Grad’ stamp but then I remembered the Blue Ribbon stamp set.

It is a hard to tell by the photo but I clear embossed the ‘Congrats Grad’ after I stamped it in Black. So it has a nice shine to it. This was punched out with the 1 3/8″ circle. The Scallop was stamped in Pacific Point and punched out with the 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle. The tail outlines were stamped in Pacific Point and then I stamped the words over it with Black. The Whisper White card was embossed with the Chevron Embossing Folder. This was layered on a Basic Black mat and then a Pacific Point card base. I have added some Black Taffeta ribbon. It doesn’t hurt to add a little bling on a boy’s card either does it???

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you can visit me again soon.

Twice in one day. Don’t die from shock! This is a quick post. This afternoon I thought I better whip up a tag for my Convention bag. With 700 people having the same bag you need a tag to identify your bag. Now I could just tie a piece of ribbon on, but why not make a tag when I have so much time this afternoon – NOT!!!!

Here is my tag.

I have used the Blue Ribbon stamp set stamped in Island Indigo and punched out with the 1 3/4″ circle. I had to have some bling so punched a scallop circle with the 2 3/8″ scallop punch from Silver Glimmer paper. The silver ‘J’ is cut on the Big Shot with the retired Timeless Type Alphabet die. I added a length of Whisper White 1/4″ Grosgrain ribbon to tie it on to the bag. I found the tiniest piece of Island Indigo Satin ribbon from Sale-A-Bration to tie on to the white grosgrain ribbon just to finish it off. See those tiny little scraps of ribbon do come in handy!!

OK, enough from me today. I still haven’t packed. Thanks for stopping by again.
