Christmas Tag Swap 2017

These tags are for a tag swap on Swap-Bot.  We had to make 3 tags and they had to be no smaller than 2 x 4.

All these tags are inspired by the beautiful work of Jill Norwood a/k/a Greenwood Girl.

Each tag was cut with the Cricut Explore Air 2.

The first tag is a candy cane and it is 5 inches tall.    I cut the base 3 times with manila cardstock for stability.  The paper is all glitter paper.  I used a white gel pen to add stitching to the green holly leaves.  I didn't think it would work at first but it did.  I used little red pom poms for the berries.
Added a smaller tag that says "Candy Cane Kisses."  The Cricut Explore Air 2 cut the small tag and provided the writing on it.




The second tag is a coffee, hot chocolate, tea, etc. cup and it is also 5 inches tall.    I cut the base 3 times with manila cardstock for stability.  The paper scraps from my stash.  I  used a white gel pen to add stitching.  Added a smaller tag that says "Christmas Hugs."  The Cricut Explore Air 2 cut the small tag and provided the writing on it.



The last  tag is a star and is 5 x 5.   The paper is sturdy glitter paper.  I  added silver Stickles for more sparkle.  Added a smaller tag that says "Silent Night."  The Cricut Explore Air 2 cut the small tag and provided the writing on it.




Have a great day.

Make it a crafty one!

Halloween Cards/Hurricane Irma Crafting

During our down time during Hurricane Irma I worked on some Halloween cards for a swap.


This is from Graphic 45's Rare Oddities collection.  I didn't want to do too much to the card as the paper is so beautiful it speaks for itself.



This is from the 2016 Recollections Ravenshead Manor collection.  After the week we had, I really needed a cocktail.


This is also from the 2016 Recollections Ravenshead Manor collection.  I fussy cut one of the cut-aparts and glued it to a doily.

Hope you like.   Have a great day.  Make it a crafty one.

Requirements were that we had to use Tim Holtz #8 tags and have 2-3 embellishments whether embossing, die cuts, etc.

The foil paper I used is from the Dollar Tree.  The embossing folders are from Crafter's Companion and I used the Gemini die cutting machine to emboss and die cut the snowflakes and Santa.





Have a great day.  Make it a crafty one!

Christmas in July- Red Vintage Truck

These are watercolor cards using two different red truck stamps.  I don't remember the brand as I took the stamp off the wooden block so I could use my Stamp Perfect stamper.

I used watercolor pencils from Michael's Artist Loft brand and also their watercolor paper.

The card bases and mattings are from The Paper Studio- 12 Days of Christmas Collection.  I'm hoping they bring it back again this year.  The sentiment stamps are from an American Crafts set I got from Tuesday Morning.




Hope you like.

Have a great day.  Make it a crafty one.


Christmas in July- Florida Style

Watercolor cards using stamps from Inkadinkado.  The set is called Warmest Wishes.

Used 90 lb watercolor paper from Michaels, their Artist Loft brand..  The watercolor pencils are also from Michaels' Artist Loft brand.  Used white Stickles for the Santa hats.

The matting and card base are from Michael's Craft Smith Mermaid Coast collection.  It is one of the hot buy pads.

Coloring is very calming . . . ah. . .

Hope you like.




Have a great day.  Make it a crafty one.

Fishing Vest Birthday Card

Birthday card for my Dad.  SVG file for the vest was from Tracee-Jo Kalan.  I found it on the Cricut Primrose website.  The lures, etc. I had from a previous project, the fishing tackle box card from SVG.cuts.com.

Everything was cut with the Cricut Explore.  I used some washi tape at the bottom to give it a more outdoorsy (is that a word?) look.






Have a great day.  Make it a crafty one.

Snow-themed Tag

This is a tag for a snow-themed swap.

Used my Gemini to emboss both the tag itself and the words.  Took a Cuttlebug folder, inked it up and used blue ink inside the folder.  Once the paper was embossed I cut it apart.

Also used snowflakes from the DT and added a little bling.

It's hot & muggy here in S. FL so thinking of snow is a nice break.

Have a great day.  Make it a crafty one.

Playing With Vinyl

They make it look so easy.

Here is one of my first tries working with vinyl.  I made the trivet for my daughter as a Christmas present.

Playing with vinyl is becoming addictive and I already have crafting ADD.

Have a great day.  Make it a crafty one.
