Working on another tag



I have been trying some of my vintage stamps on my tags and loving the results .This one uses an Inky Antics stamp plus a scrap of paper cut with one of Nellie's Multiframe die for the accent. The image was water colored and a bit of twine added to the tag. The background tag was sponged with Distress Ink.The second group have tags created with the Nellie Multiframe dies and one of the layers embossed with the Cuttlebug Textile Folder. On one I inked it with Distress ink while on the second, the embossing was left un-inked.The Floss is Karen Foster's Scrappers Floss pastel pink.The layers were attached with glue dots.
Happy Crafting!

Still another Gift Tag idea


was this one. I have the older SU A Greeting for the Season set and thought this would make up into antique looking tags. I love the rustic style and will be making lots of these for my own gifts this year.Stamped with a variety of Distress Inks and watercolored, these were fun to make. I used my Zig markers to darken the twine also.

Happy Crafting!

More orders today!

Back to the card making since more orders were requested at church.My work area looks like a tornado hit so I have to take some time to reorganize tomorrow again...I bought some brackets and my husband cut some shelves for me from his wood scraps and hung them up for me too. It should be a quicker cleanup after I finish organizing it...again.

Meet the newest


member of our family. Sawyer the cat was willing to have his photo taken when we visited our son and DIL yesterday. Thought you might like to meet him.He's cute and well mannered but a bit camera shy. He is a "mitten cat" with extra toes on each paw. We have never had a cat in the family before so we are a bit excited about him .

Finishing up my orders...


I included more of the tags from the bazaar. I wrote a thank you for each of my orders and included a few extra tags a a surprise. The image is another"vintage" Stampington/ Sandi Gore Evans stamp. I watercolored the image after stamping it in Mementos tuxedo black.It was punched with a Marvy scalloped punch(purple), and edged with Distress Ink.I used tags from my stash . Just need to add some ribbon and then pack up the orders.
Happy crafting!

Gift tags...


One of the gift tags I offered at the bazaar is this one. The sentiment is from Gina K Designs and then just 2 punches/MS pine and Marvy scalloped created this. A touch of both silver and gold Stickles really enhance it. I making more for my customer orders. The tag was edged with DI Peeled Bark.
Happy Crafting and for those in the US a early Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Birthday


I work as a nanny part time and the little guy I care for is celebrating his big 2nd birthday!I have this sweet turtle digi stamp from Doodle Pantry and thought it would be perfect for his card.It was watercolored, and a number 2 was punched from a Cuttlebug alphabet set. After being glued to the painted image, silver Stickles were added to add some texture to the card.
