FABRIC BAG TAG

 OMG! How fun was this to make.  This is a fabric bag tag that I made for my son to put on his back pack for the upcoming school year.  I am planning on putting some fabric letters on here. I have made more just like these but am looking at a few different options for use. I will show you the girl one tomorrow. They are just too cute. My husband is going out of town on a business trip again, so guess what is going on the luggage this trip....you guessed it. These will now be used as our luggage tags as well. I cased this wonderful idea from Christie Daugherty another stampin' up demo.  So here is a big thank you shout out to her. If you would like to place an order for any stampin up item I have used, then please send me an email.

SUPPLIES:
FABRIC REMNANTS (YOUR CHOICE OF COLOR, DESIGN AND STYLE
FELT (I WENT WITH COLORS THAT MATCH THE FABRIC)
IRON
HEAT N BOND
TOP NOTE DIE
BIG SHOT MACHINE
CROP O DILE
LARGE EYELET OR JUMBO GROMET
RIBBON

DIRECTIONS:
1. CUT THE FABRIC BIG ENOUGH TO GO OVER THE DIE ( YOU WILL NEED 2 PIECES )
2. USE THE HEAT N BOND ON THE BACK SIDES OF THE FABRIC (FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON THE PACKAGE FOR HEAT SETTINGS
3. REMOVE THE HEAT N BOND BACKING, PLACE THE FELT IN BETWEEN THE FABRIC
4. HEAT AGAIN ON BOTH SIDE TO MAKE SURE IT IS COMPLETELY SECURE
5. RUN THROUGH THE BIG SHOT MACHINE TO CUT OUT YOUR DESIGN
6. PUNCH A HOLE AT THE TOP WITH YOUR CROP A DILE
7. SET THE EYELET OR GROMET WITH THE CROP A DILE
8. ADD YOUR RIBBON
***** AND YOU ARE DONE ***** THE POSSIBILITES ARE ENDLESS
HAVE A STAMPING GREAT DAY! ROBIN

 Many of you already know that being a STAMPIN' UP demonstrator, we get to preorder products.  This is a sneak peek using the stamp set ELEMENTS OF STYLE that will coming out in the summer mini catalog, beginning May 1st and will run through August 31st. I love this set and many others that are coming out in the mini catalog. 
I did however case the below card from the wonderful Stacey Schafer. She did a wonderful job on this card.  I was going to use the exact colors, but I looked over at my paper and seen this great DP from the occasions mini catalog that just ended. I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do!

For the main flower image, I inked the whole stamp in pretty in pink, then sponged just a little rich razzleberry around the edges. The greeting, I only punched it half way in the punch. The flower does match really well, but the camera did not do this card any justice. It is really great in person. I made this one for a wonderful mother's day card for a friend of mine!

STAMPS: elements of style
PAPER: very vanilla, rich razzleberry, sending love specialty dp
INK: pretty in pink, rich razzleberry (both colors will be remaining in the new color renovation)
