2 Bag and a Tags!

I had fun tonight making 2 bag and a tags that I am going to list on etsy. I used my Penny Black stamp and on one tag i colored directly on the craft paper tag, and it has a unique look, The other i stamped and colored on stampin up cream card stock and then put it on the kraft paper tag. So one is muted and one is brighter. Both have embossing and stickles for a little bit of shine an demention. I added some lace and twine to attach it to the bag. I also stamped TO: and FROM: to the back of the tag. The bags have been stamped on both sides and I added some edging off of some mary engelbret paper to the tops of the bags both front and backs for a pop of color. Bags are approx. 8x12.

Get Well Card

I love this stamp! Its my Helz Puppleditch design by Stampavie. So darn cute that dog. So I had to ink him up again and make another card. The card is 4.25x5.5 in size. I colored it with...ok everyone with me now..colored pencils and OMS...i love coloring it with colored pencils, not just because Im to "Po" to afford Copics, but just because i like too! ha Just make do with what you have. And be happy with it! I added a few rhinestones and i made the slipper 3d. Thanks for stopping by!

Friendship Card

I got this new penny black stamp today and i had to ink er up and stamper er down! I love this image, i call it my "melinda stamp" as my friend Melinda is an avid gardener and just an all around super friend! So It reminds me of her!

I decided to use my cute bee paper bee-utiful by 3 bugs in a rug. and a few pieces of other papers out of my scrap drawer. I added a few chip board flowers with coordinating papers and some cute buttons and some twine. I colored it with colored pencils and OMS and i had to add some stickles OF COURSE!

I will list this on etsy tonight. thanks for stopping by.

Rose Card

I saw on Linda Dukes Blog, her fancy roses that she made on her althered box, you can see that HERE. So i decided to make my own version of a rose ,and this is what i came up with. I inked it up on the edges after i put it together and then i took some stampin up pearl ex irrodecent blue and added to the rose. Which made the cranberry colored ink have a purplish tint to it when hit by the light. I then went back and sprayed it with glimmer mist cocoa or chocolate to make it look even older. I stamped some leaves and gave them a bend and added them to the roses. I colored the penny black Good Friends stamped image with colored pencils and OMS. I did her skin with copic markers. added a little bling and a HI on the inside !

Nature Tin

I just finished this Special Order Nature Tin. I Love it! I think it turned out pretty nice, and think it has a nature feel! What do you think???

This is a tin from Oriental Trading Company and it is called a tin purse there...and its huge!!!!!! Bigger then the ones i normally make. Its 7x5x5. So lots of room for what is will be needed for! I added little twigs to the birds, stamped acorns, pine bows, stamped on the twill ribbon and added some twine. I love the rough cardboardy paper that i added some eyelets too and then strapped it on to the tin with the twine. Pretty flowers and bird stickers are from K and Company. The tin is covered inside and out. Top and bottom. 4 divider cards as per requested by the customer. I know she will be pleased!

6x6 Magnolia Card

I had a hard time with my "mojo" tonight...jeesh. I had to color like 3 images and decide none of them was working for me on this card.....finally settled with this blueberry girl! ha

I guess we all go through those days when we have a slump. Today didnt start out

well for me anyways......getting my new cell phone bill after switching over

to a new company, where we were to save money

get the bill and its almost $400.oo for the first bill! Almost had to use my

son asthma inhailer and i dont have asthma! All these connection

fees and a month and a halfs bill is what it all came down

too. But we were NOT informed of it when we signed up..so it came as a bit

of a shocker! So maybe that is what threw me off today!

I am going to list this 6x6 Magnolia Card on Etsy. I love this cute little blueberry girl! I used my K & Company paper again ! I love that paper.

I added some prima flowers and some of those cute roses in the centers.

I embossed the scalloped half circle, and then added some ink to the edges and some rhinestones to the scallops!

Machine stitched on the card inside paper and outside as well.

Thanks for stopping by!
