My first tag

Happy Weekend everyone!

I have often wondered if I could make one of these beautiful tag creations for myself. And here is my very first try.

I used the sizzix “Bird with Vine” die, and cut it out of paper so I could cover both sides of the chipboard. I sanded all of the paper edges before sponging with brown ink. The lace is from my collection.

The tag is actually one of the new Tim Holtz dies from sizzix. It has two book plates that are part of the die. It is also cut out of decorative paper and sanded then sponged with brown ink. I had such a good time making this project!

The details on this project include stickles glitter, glimmer mist, and ribbon. I used some bling and crystals from my collection for added umph!

I hope you will enjoy the project! Have a great weekend! Stamp Happy!

I had a really nice time making these stick pins and he altered match box. As I state in the video, the match box is cut from a sizzix big shot pro die and was cut from chipboard and two seperate layers of patterned paper. The box itself got very thick so the recipient needs to keep in mind it may be a bit difficult to open it up. So be careful!

I hope you will enjoy the pictures and this wonderful project. Start of blog candy (the first of 2011) will be coming up soon, so please keep watch here on the blog for details. This month’s candy will include lace, a matchbox, stick pins and some Tim Holtz clear mount stamps.

Have a great day, stamp happy and be a blessing!

Black and White Card

Hello Friends!

I had almost forgotten how fun it was to stamp using versamark ink and emboss using detail black embossing powder. My embossing powder came from Sparkle N Sprinkle.

The stamps used in today’s project are the Beautiful one and the butterfly all from the dollar Circle G collection at Joanne’s fabric and Crafts store. I used a sizzix tag #2 for the tag and black and white dot ribbon for accent. The card is layered onto a black and white patterned paper from DCWV and a white card stock base. It is a standard A2 size card.

I also used some clear dew drops to give it a bit of sparkle.

The entire swap card set only took me about 20 minutes to complete, I used an “assembly” style method to cut all my pieces and lay them out on my desk. I had a really nice time making these for the Black and White swap hosted by a friend.

Have a great afternoon, Stamp Happy, Be a Blessing!
