Anything But A Card Blog Hop

Here’s the project I made for this month’s Creativity Abounds tutorial bundle. It’s a treat tote! See more details further down in this post.

Last week was OnStage, the Stampin’ Up convention in Houston, Texas. I wanted to make a little something for my friends I would be seeing there. We had about 2,000 people with matching (amazing) backpacks that we were given to us by Stampin’ Up. I thought having a luggage tag with their name on it would help my friends always know which bag was theirs. It would also be great for travel if they put their full information on the back side of the name tag.

Measurements & Details

  • 2-1/8” x 3-5/8” Balmy Blue CS
  • Mini Alphabet Dies- Azure Afternoon CS letters
  • Give it a Whirl Dies- heart- Melon Mambo CS
  • Online Exclusive basics 3D embossing folder
  • 3/8” Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack- Azure Afternoon
  • Simply Elegant Trim-Silver

Here’s the Amazon Link.

Here’s a video showing how to make the luggage tags.

Steve and I had the best time in Houston at the Stampin’ Up convention. It was Steve’s first time to attend a Stampin’ Up event. Because he gave out his homemade fudge, he was very popular!

We went to College Station on Sunday to see our Texas kids and Amy’s parents. The gals went to Martha’s Bloomers, a tea room/garden center and the guys went to shoot pool. Afterwards we got together for a wonderful steak dinner. I was able to give Sean & Amy their Reese’s Easter boxes. On Monday we drove to New Orleans for Steve’s conference. We stayed at a wonderful Bed & Breakfast built in 1858 and spent the day at the WWII museum. It was very interesting and also sad that so many lives were lost.
