Tomorrow morning, the Seattle Seahawks play the New York Giants back east. Everyone in Washington State is rooting for the Seahawks to claim victory, including all of us at Art 'n Soul. For the 4th day of Art 'n Soul's 12 Days of Christmas, we're aligning with the Seattle Seahawks! How? 

Sunday, December 15:  On the fourth day of Christmas, my Art ‘n Soul gave to me, 30% off anything blue or green; AND 30% OF ANY RED OR GREEN RIBBON FROM BELLA CARTA if I wear blue and green and/or a Seahawks shirt!  Go Hawks!



Today's 3rd day of Art 'n Soul's 12 Days of Tags . . . the sentiment is from a Magenta stamp and the decorated paper is from a Webster's Pages mini bag.

And here's the 4th day of the 12 Days of Tags at Art 'n Soul for tomorrow that features tea bag folding using old magazine pages.

We encourage you to stop in and see how easy these tags are to make.

Handmade papers were taken to the store this afternoon . . .

You do realize that this handmade paper also makes a great wrapping paper for that very very special present gift . . . just sayin!


And the special crinkle ribbon from Ranger that has been developed to accept the spray and dauber stains is at Art 'n Soul. Apply the stains, lightly spray with water, crinkle up the ribbon in your hand, and then use your heat gun to dry the ribbon. Each packet contains 5 yards of ribbon. Now you can exactly match your ribbon color to the card stock you're using, whether it's one color or a mixture of several colors!

A great last-minute card is seen on the Memory Box blog.
