Perfect Watercolor Trio

Inspired by Selene Kempton, I die cut the scallop oval from Wild Wasabi, and Whisper White

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perfect Plum and Wild Wasabi bump up each other for this card.

Embossing the Perfect Plum cardstock using the new Vintage Wallpaper Texture Folder.

The ribbon is really what caught my eye on Selene's card, and she added a button. I don't have any buttons that would match now, since they retired the old buttons....but using the hemp cord to tie the ribbons together, gives it a rustic country look!

Island Oasis Card and FREE Offer!

Island Oasis Designer Paper is full of the colors we think of Summer and Tropical vacations! The stamp set
Tropical party is retiring soon as well as In A Word

I wanted to make a fun card that would be great to send out to someone who is going on vacation or maybe just a card to brighten their day!
To create the 'frame' for the Marvelo{us}, I punched out 2 pieces of Wild Wasabi cardstock and cut them in 1/2 . I saw this tutorial on a blog (and I am sorry, I can't remember who's blog it was).

Assemble as follows, and voila! you've made an instant FRAME for your punch!

Pinecone Tags

I am loving the new stamps, and punches from the HOLIDAY MINI Catalog! I know when you see all the new items in this mini, you will just be as excited as I am!

I am making tags for my Christmas gifts.....but you can make tags or cards for ANY occasion!

I should be playing some Christmas music to get more inspired, but it is finally starting to get HOT here in CA! So, listening to snow falling and sleigh bells might just be what I should be playing to cool off! (hee hee!)

This is from the Tags 'til Christmas set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Using Markers to color in the images, and then to stamp it on vanilla cardstock. I punched it out using the NEW label punch. I then layered it over Chocolate Chip cardstock and finally over Crumb Cake cards that are cut 3" x 6", folded in 1/2.

Two Tags Die

Two Tags die can be a fun tag all by itself, but the tags are long. I wanted the tags to be a bit smaller, but how can you make these tags smaller?

Well, by folding!

I folded it at the edge of the scallop, and then folded at 2" from the edge on the right side. This way, the scallop circle laps over the tag.

I really like how this came out, it is cute and compact, and was easy to be used because it is done by the Die cut and the punches!

I'll either add a hole at the fold and then a string on the end....!

Christmas Tags

I love snowmen! They are so cute! When I saw this set in the Holiday Mini, I knew that this stamp had to be one in my collection! I stamped it on whisper white, in Pacific Point, punched with the 1 3/4" circle and then cut out (using the circle scissors) a circle in Bashful Blue. The large scallop is from the New catalog, the LARGE 2 3/8" Scallop circle punch!

Tag making is getting easier!

It's beginning to look a lot like.....

"Christmas is coming,
the Goose is getting fat,...."

This song started going through my head. I was thinking, am I CRAZY? It is only 7 am, in AUGUSt, and it is a beautiful morning and starting to get hot. The last few days of summer are finally here!

I started using some of my new Holiday Mini catalog stamps to make some Christmas tags for a class I am planning! This is a 3x3 card and I used discontinued dotted grosgrain ribbon, it looked so cute! The punch is also new, however the oval had to be hand cut. Fortunately, the oval is stamped on and so that makes it easy to cut! I will post a few more tags.....in the next couple of days!
