Tags are so fun to make.  I recently participated in a dress form tag swap over at Art and Sassy.  You can find out about their swaps by clicking here .  In the meantime how about some tags?  I made 4 tags for the swap and a 5th for me. All the tags used the following items: Claudine Helmeth Sticky Back Canvas Score-tape and ATG adhesive #5 Avery Tags K. Andrews "Sew Much Fun" My Mind's Eye "Princess Blush" stamp set Lace Charms and O rings The first tag is the one that I kept for myself.  In addition to the other items, I also used: Purple Gelato Dusty Concord Distress Ink Recollections bling SEI "Couture" 6X6 paper 3 Girl JAM - Witch's Brew and Antique White ribbon   Without a doubt, the second tag is one of my favorite ones of the set.  The colors remind me of the sunset.  The additional items I used were: 3 Girl JAM - Sunflower and Harvest Orange ribbon Yellow and orange Gelato Prima bling flower Vintage Photo Distr...

My beautiful daughter had a voice recital on Saturday.  Her voice teacher asked her to find her own accompanist so we asked a friend.  Elise performed 3 pieces and  one of them was particularly difficult for the pianist to play because it had 6 sharps.  We really appreciate our friend playing for us.  As a thank you gift I made this little gift box and placed a set of 8 cards from a previous post in it. The inside of the box had plenty of room to hold 8 cards and envelopes.  You can view the tutorial for the cards by clicking here . I hope you enjoy the video.  Thanks for watching!

Did you think I fell off the face of the earth?  It has been a crazy couple of weeks and there hasn't been much time spent in the craft room.  I was able to sit down and make a bunch of cards for my card exchange club.  This month's theme was birthday.  I made some similar cards last month and I liked the effect so much that I used the same idea to make these.  I also made some all purpose cards with the same images and different stamp sets. Card Base - "Vintage Cream" (PaperTrey Ink), "Cream" (Recollections) = 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" (scored and folded at 4 1/4" to form A2 sized card Mat - Various from Provo Craft and Over the Moon Press from my stash (I can't remember which was from where - sorry) = 5 1/4" X 4" Top layer - The same as the base cards = 4 3/4' X 3 1/2" Inks - Tim Holtz Distress - Faded Jeans (I think I also used Peeled Paint and Dusty Concord) Stampin' Up - Dusty Durango "Honeydew...

Today I have a card for you that I made for my nephew.  I was able to use the zipper die set from Paper Trey Ink.  I can't wait to make more cards with this.  It was so fun to use and will be even more fun when my little great-nephew finds the secret message. Now I had made a video of this card, but it was a bit fuzzy so here's the summary.  I used the Cuttlebug with the Paper Trey Ink Movers and Shakers Zipper die and cut the wider one from the set with yellow paper.  Here are the rest of my supplies: Blue card base - 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" (from my stash) Yellow paper for die (JoAnn's) White mat - 4" X"5 1/4" Cut 2 - one will be for the inside (Georgia Pacific) Basic Grey - Life of the Party (6X6 pad and epoxy stickers) Dejavu's - Mini Bop red sparkle letters Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Faded Jeans Additional tools: Hero Arts "All Occasion Messages" stamp set.   Fiskars Stamp set Using the set of stamps from Hero A...
