25 Days of Christmas Tags Event w/ Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Pin It

HELLO!!
I'm here for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 over on the In My Creative Opinion Blog!!
Today she's showcasing Newton's Nook Designs!!
Here's the SWEET Tag I've made for today!!

I've used the NEW "Naughty or Mice" Stamp Set along with the coordinating "Naughty or Mice" Die Set!! I've also used the NEW Snowfall Stencil and the "Santa Paws Newton" Stamp Set and the coordinating "Santa Paws Newton" Die Set!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how versatile Stencils are!! Here's a look at that the NEW Products if you haven't seen them in their entirety!!                              

For a FUN Interactive Element to the Tag I've Taylored Expressions Flap Stacks Rectangle Dies to create the Flap to open the Tag!! I think this is such a FUN Idea for Holiday Tags!! I Die Cut 2 Tags using the MFT Tag Builder BluePrints 4 Die and then Die Cut the Flap into one of them!! I used masking to create my Ground and Inked with Gathered Twigs!! I envisioned the Mouse Sneaking in from the Country!! Then I created the Background using Distress Inks in Rainbow Colors to match the Rainbow Scarf on the Mouse!! I used Clear Embossing Powder to cover the Snowflakes so I could use the Darker Nigh time colors over the top of the Snowflakes!! I repeated the same think for the inside of the Tag, on I just Embossed with White Embossing Powder as to not compete with the Recipients Names!! Then I added the North Pole Image and the To: & From: sentiment from the "Jolly Tags" Stamp Set!! I used Foam Tap to add the Mouse to the Front of the Tag and added some Distress Rock Candy Glitter to the Ground for some SPARKLE like just a Dusting of Snow was on the Ground!! Some Twine Finishes it off!! A little Lawn Fawn Gift Box and this will make the SWEETEST Little Gift for someone SPECIAL this Holiday Season!!

I'm also joining the

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Christmas Gift Tags

I've created a SWEET Gift Tag for today!! Although this would be PERFECT for Easter, I think it could also be used Year Round!! Think about changing out the Eggs for a Pile of Presents for a Birthday Tag, or some Flowers for Mother's Day!! The possibilities are endless!!

I Stamped and Embossed the Bunny Image onto some Gingham Patterned Paper from MFT!! Then I added some Soft Pink to the Cheeks and Ears and some Grey Dots for some texture using some Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers!! I added the Sweet Bow that I covered in some Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen!! I colored the Eggs and added some White Gel Pen Details!! Then I added a Carrot and some Die Cut Grass to finish off the Scene!! I added another Die Cut Tag from some Gingam Patterned Paper and then Stamped and  Embossed the Sentiment on it and added my Twine and the Tulle Bow and my Tag is ready for a SWEET Easter Gift!!

I Carrot About You with Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Pin It

HELLO and HAPPY FRIDAY!! =)
I'm here today with a project I've made for the Newton's Nook Designs Blog!! My FIRST post since my Surgery!! YIPPEE!! I've made a FUN Spring themed Card using the bunny, newly named "Lily" from the Hello Spring Stamp Set!! Then I thought she needed a Basket FULL of Carrots that I also Stamped from the Hello Spring Stamp Set!! I placed them in one of the Baskets from the Basket of Wishes Stamp Set!! I used Copic Markers to Color my Images and then added some details using a White Gel Pen and some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker for some SPARKLE!! =) I used a Lil' Inker Designs Die to created the FUN Design on my MFT Stone Grey Cardstock Base!! Then I also used a Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Rectangle Die to create the Main Panel for my Scene!! I used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to Ink round the Edges of the Top of the Stitched Rectangle Die to create the Sky!! I wanted the Panel to POP of the Card Base so I decided to use an Avey Elle Dotted Borders Pinked Edge from some MFT Steel Grey Cardstock!! I just LOVE the way it looks against the Stitched Card Base!! Then I used an MFT Grass Border Die and Die Cut a couple different Green Coordination Cardstocks and Inked the edges with some Ground Espresso Distress Ink to add some Interest!! I Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment on a MFT Banner!! Double Stamping the word Carrot with some Hero Arts Rust Ink to create a Visual Triangle with ALL of the range Images on my Card!! =) I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!!

MFTWSC231 Challenge ~ Sweet TreatsThank You Card!! =)

Pin It



Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share the Card I've made for the New MFTWSC231 Challenge over on the MFT Challenge Blog!! I had gotten the Die-namics LJD Sweet Treats Die Set and I wanted to make a Sweet THANK YOU Card!! I also just LOVE the Die-namics Tag Talk Die Set and when I saw the Sketch I thought it would be FUN to use the THANKS Tag for the Flag/Sentiment Strip in the Sketch!! I just LOVE the way it turned out and I used the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker to color over the THANKS to make it POP even more!! YUMMY!! =) I also used it to add some FUN Sparkle to my Ice Cream Scoops!! I used the Die-namics Inside & Out Diagonal Stitched Rectangle STAX as my FUN Frame and I actually layered two Die Cut from different Papers and I REALLY LOVE the Design of these for SO MANY uses!! =) I ended up using some of the MFT Kraft Hybrid Ink Pad to add some Inking to the Edges of everything just to make it all POP!! The Colors felt alittle drab and I wanted it to be ALIVE and HAPPY!! This REALLY HELPED and it is light enough that if you weren't looking and first glance you might not even realize it!! =) A few Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Crystal Clear Sequins and my Card was Finished!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
