I made this lovely vintage-looking Box of Gift Tags Plus a Card this week from Beth Leintz's fun tutorial in Artist Class. I'll be using it as a small gift for someone special if I can part with it!





I used a simple Hero Arts Hello stamp on the tags inside the tin and a Hero Arts flower and button on the lid. The paper is Life's Journey by K&Company and it works beautifully with the vintage girls.

By the way, you can still register for Artist Class - the blog will be open through February and the projects just started. You can sign up at: www.e-junkie.com/artistclass; don't forget to use my code "dustypenny" (no quotes) for a $10 discount!

Artist Class is so fun and I can't wait to tackle the next project! I just need to finish my digital tutorial which is scheduled for 11/20 first!

Thanks for looking!

Hugs,

This lovely card from mrsr1 - Suzanne arrived in my mailbox today for the October Card Chain Challenge! She used the Hero Arts Cling Stamp CG120 Antique Writing and made all of the challenge colors work together so well. There are also lots of blue gems, black pearls, and glitter. And the delicate punched border adds so much to the card. Thanks so much Suzanne!
