Hostess gift

Hi Friends!!

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying some crafty time!

I am enjoying some time this month participating in several swaps. I am in love with the swap Jonnie has on Your Paper Pantry. The name of the swap is “Tag bags”

I used my Accucut Balloon die for this project. I cut the balloons out of patterned paper and attached them to a light chipboard base. I made five tags. Each took me about 45 minutes to complete. You spend a bunch of time waiting for glue to dry for this project.

The banner is also cut from a die, Stampin Up Sizzix banner die. I cut it also from light chipboard and patterned papers. It is finished with Wild Orchid Craft flowers, bling, Lindsey’s glimmer mist and items from my personal collection.
Stamp Happy be a blessing.

Up – Up – and away — March Tag swap for YPP

Last night I started making these adorable hot air balloon tags for a swap on Your Paper Pantry. I used some light chipboard for the base and two separate patterned papers for the balloon and basket. I embellished them with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and twine. The butterfly was stamped onto clear shrinky dink plastic and colored with Copic Y18 marker.

I accomplished most of the die cutting last night and had partially assembled them. This morning I set my task to completing them. All in all it took approximately six hours to make five tags. I wanted the attention to detail to be evident. I also used Linday’s stamp gang glimmery mist.

I had a really great time with these, I will be adding a few things to the bags for the fellow swappers and then will try and get them postal this week.

Stamp Happy, be a blessing.

Utopia — key chain scissor keeper

I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to crafting out side of my home, I take along a basic stamping kit. One of the must haves in my kit is a great pair of sharp scissors. To keep them easily identifiable, I love to make scissor charms.

The one above comes from Queen Kat her name is Utopia.

I stamped her onto the slick side of shrink plastic using black Staz-on Ink. Then I turned the material over and colored on the rough side of the material.

Using caution, I heat set the image until it was completely shrunken down. I let my heat tool cool down a few minutes then I heat the shrink plastic again until it turned clear.

I had previously poked a hole in the piece. Once it was shrank I created a dangle using a piece of broken jewelry. The entire project took about 5 minutes total to complete.

I hope you will give this a try. It was a bunch of fun and there will be no doubt as to whom those scissors belong too.

Findings can be found at your local stamp/craft store. Please email me with any questions.

Senior Angel gift for Ms. Vivian info on how you can sign up.

Have you ever thought it would be nice to communicate with a Senior Citizen who has little or no family left or their family lives far away from them.

Ms. Vivian has been my senior friend for about three years now. The Cancer Angels web site is where you can go and sign up. About mid way down on the right side is a “angel check in” click that to sign up to be a Chemo or Senior angel.

The creative process is enjoyable, you basically have to think postal, sending cards letters, I’ve even sent pictures of my kids for her to enjoy.

Have a great Wednesday!
