Count Every Beautiful Thing Tag

August 8, 2019

Hi everyone! I’m back today and wanted to share this colorful and slightly quirky tag I created using Eileen Hull’s Blends Inks.

I started by inking my glass tray with Sunshine and Melon Blends Inks, adding water and placing the tag into the ink mixture. Once the tag was completely covered I removed and let dry. I inked the Ornate Border Molding Mat with Berry Pigment Ink from the Mermaid Paintbox Collection and randomly inked over the tag.

I inked the Doll Faces Rollagraph with Wicked Black Premium Dye Ink, rolled onto a piece of Watercolor Paper and cut out the face of girl looking straight ahead. I inked the Butterfly Wooden Stamp with Wicked Black Premium Dye Ink and stamp onto a piece of watercolor paper. Again I inked the glass tray with following Taos Petal Point: Amber and the Mermaid Paintbox Papaya Cream and Berry Inks. I added water and painted the butterfly image with ink mixtures and let dry. I fussy cut the butterfly image out, cut down the middle, added Clear Glitter Glue around outer edge of butterfly and once dry I adhered the butterfly wings, one on either side of the face image.

I placed Watercolor Paper on the Long Classic Scalloped Rectangle Large Diecut, placed between the cutting plates and run through the Diecut Machine. Before cleaning the glass tray I randomly placed the scalloped rectangle diecut into the leftover ink mixture from butterfly. Then removed and let dry. Next I inked the glass tray with Sunshine Blends Ink, added water, placed the scalloped rectangle diecut into the ink mixture and once completely covered with the ink mixture I removed and let dry. I inked the Ornate Border Molding Mat with Amber Pigment Ink from the Taos Petal Point Collection and stamped onto the scalloped rectangles diecut.

I placed the “Play in the Sun” stamp onto the MISTI Stamping Tool and inked with Wicked Black Premium Dye Ink and stamped onto the lower half of the scalloped rectangle diecut. Next I inked two leaves from a leaf sprig punch with Turtle Pigment Ink and once dry adhered next to the word ‘thing” along with sequins and a gem.

I placed vellum on top of the Delightful Circles Diecuts placed between cutting plates and run through the diecut machine. I adhered to the backside of the scalloped rectangle diecut and then adhered to the tag.

I added Foam Pop Dots to the back of the butterfly face image before placing above the stamped sentiment.

I finished by adhering lace to the bottom of tag and adding a button, sequin, gem at bottom corner of tag and tying a bow at the top of the tag. I hope you like this tag as much as I enjoyed creating it. Also if you have any questions about this project please let me know.

Crafty Card Gallery: You Make Everything Bloom

April 16, 2016

Hi everyone! I am back to share a card I created from the Crafty Card Gallery blog and this month’s challenge is flowers. I went with pre-made card from K and Company. All I had to do was fold the card in half and the base of my card was ready to decorate. I had actually started this card several months ago. I had added the doily and then put it aside.

I cut from the Beaded Circles Spellbinders die a circle in a bright patterned yellow cardstock and adhered it on the doily. I added various scraps of patterned cardstock on top of the doily and circle.

I printed the garden girl from the computer and fussy cut out and added a line of glue down the middle of the image. and placed on the card. I didn’t want to add glue all over because I need to be able to add flowers, thread and tulle under the image. I punched leaves and small of the flowers from cardstock and shaped and adhered around the girl.

The sentiment is a stamp from Unity Stamp Company. I stamped, cut and adhered to the top corner of the card. I added another flower along Dew Drops and pearl sprays to finish off the card.

Also I would like to submit my card to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday: Challenge 226-227 and Simon Says Monday Challenge: April Showers Bring May Flowers.

And as always if you have any questions about this card please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by hope your Saturday is awesome and enjoy creating!

Beauty of the Heart

December 30, 2014

Hi everyone! I’m here to share a chunky journal page I created for a Christmas gift for Jean Moore our leader over at the Altered Pages.com.

Lyneen had each of the design team members create a page. We each had to mail our pages to Lyneen which she in turn bound the pages into an adorable chunky book. This is what I came up with. I used product that I had received from a past Mailbox Muse kit.

The saying is a rubber stamp from Unity and the zipper are the only things from my own personal stash I used to finish off this gift for Jean.

You can go here and see each page that was created by each design team member. If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Tuesday is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Another easy peasy card that didn’t take very long to create! 🙂

Celebrate Big!

April 19, 2014

Hi everyone! I’m here to share a quick card I created for the Crafty Card Gallery this month. I cut a 4″x5 1/2″ base from white cardstock. Used scraps of cardstock and scrapbook paper I had laying around, stamped Celebrate Big on a scrap of white cardstock and inked all edges of before adhering to the top of the card. The diecut I received in a swap over a year ago is from Spellbinders but I’m not sure which set it is from???

The last thing I added was some sequins and dew drops to the banner and a tiny flower which sequin and dew drop to the corner of the celebrate sign.

This is a very easy peasy card that you can knock out in only a short amount of time. It can be used for a birthday or retirement celebration.

If you have any questions let me know. Thanks for stopping by, hope Saturday is wonderful and enjoy creating!!!

Gratitude Card

November 18, 2013

Hi everyone! I’m here to share my design team card I created for the Crafty Card Gallery Blog. This month’s challenge is Thanksgiving/thank you theme. Well, I created a gratitude card. Gratitude means a feeling of thankfulness or appreciation. I’m thankful for my family, a loving husband, family, friends, talent to create and I’m most thankful for a God that has given me ALL of that and so must more.

I used Trees of Gratitude rubber stamp set from Unity Stamp Company. I love how the card turned out but with rainy weather and the photos I took the coloring of the card just did not turn out the way it looks in person.

The card measures 4 1/2″x8″ and I used kraft cardstock for the base and then I used a variety of scrapbook paper, paper leaves, button, Dew Drop and Color Box Chestnut Roan Fluid Chalk ink.

If you have any questions let me know, hope your Monday is wonderful and enjoy creating!!!

God’s Timing and You Mean the World to Me Cards

September 1, 2013

Hi everyone and happy first day of September!!! I’m back!!! I have been on vacation this past week in Fort Lauderdale. There was a few rain showers but other than that it was a perfect week of lounging on the beach reading and watching the ocean.

I would like to share three cards I created for a customer. All the cards is a 6″X6″ piece cardstock which I folded into a 3″x6″ card base. The stamps for the God’s Timing card are from Unity Stamps. I used a variety of scraps of scrapbook paper, sequins and I used Stickles to add a bit of sparkle to the flower stamp.

These two cards I used a sentiment stamp from Unity, more scraps of scrapbook paper and I cut the larger heart from an old map and smaller heart from scraps using a Sizzix heart diecut.

All three cards pretty simple to make huh? If you have any questions just give me a holler.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is wonderful and enjoy creating!!!

Easy peasy!!! 🙂

The next two cards I used the Sizzix Card, Scallop #3 diecut. I used more scraps of scrapbook paper, flower punch out from K & Company, flowers from Close to My Heart and sequins for the center of the flower.
