Shabby Little Tags

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday.  Today I want to share with you a little tag I made for a challenge over on Facebook.

In order to make this tag I used lots of Tim Holtz Distress Inks on a manilla tag over a bit of embossing done with my trusty Sizzix Machine.

I layered a Prima Paintables ATC card that I colored with water color pencils as well as a few sticker and wood letters also from Prima.   

A few leaves and flowers that I colored with some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and a few butterflies I created using ModMelts painted with my favorite Ann Butler Earth Safe Finishes Irridescent Glaze. Finally, a bit of seam binding, also dyed with a bit of Lindys.

This project really was so fun to make.

Have a great weekend.  Hugs.

Pion Designs and Clear Scraps

Hi everyone!  Hope your day is off to a great start!  Can you believe the weekend is here !  woo hoo!!!

Today I wanted to share with you a mini album I  made using the Mixable Tabby from Clear Scraps and some beautiful papers from Pion Designs, Vintage Wedding.

I used a few dies, from both Prima and Sizzix to create the lacey shapes.  How much do I love that new huge butterfly?  swoon...... And that beautiful resin frame?  I painted it with some Ann Butler Earth Safe finishes that she gave me back at CHA.  They are so beautiful with a sheer irridescent finish.

 I love these Pion papers.  The double sided pages are perfect for the clear, acrylic peek a boos.

And the mix of patterns, solids, and images are so fun to layer.

 Of course, I couldn't resist adding lots of flowers (many from I am Roses), bit of bling....and of course more resins...well, not really resins; some I created with the new Mod Melts and then of course painted with the Earth Safe Finishes.

This mini album was so much fun to create, and simply stuffed with so many things I love.  I hope you love it to.

Hugs.

Pillow Box Talk

Hi everyone!  Happy Monday.  I hope you had a great weekend.  Not too much going on here....Same ol' Same ol'.

Today I wanted to share with you this cute little box I made...I received the Martha Stewart Gift Box Tool at the Fave Crafts party back during CHA as well as the cute little Stripes, Dots and Hearts stamps from Ann Butler (I still have more fun quilt stamps to play with...HOORAY ME!) .  You know how they say "two great things that go great together?".  Yep...As soon as I unboxed and got organized I couldn't wait to make this sweet little box.

Of course I had to use some Core'dinations Cardstock for my box...the weight is just perfect.  Then I stamped with a combination of different diestress inks with the different paterns....Layered everything up, and added a little tag I had diecut a while back and a big flower....done!

And of course, I added the tag upside down....sigh.  Oh well...still super cute (IMHO).  lol 

Have a great day!

Hugs.
