Missing You card

Hello crafty friends and Happy Wednesday to you all! Todays card is an extra post for this week, as I came across this darling Lexi stamp that is from  I Brake for Stamps , isn't she the cutest?! I had fun coloring her up using my copic markers, and then fussy cut her out. I just had to share this darling card, I'm super pleased with how it turned out.

The pretty shimmery paper is from Paper Temptress and its gorgeous! I also used the black from there as well. I added lots of white paint dots, and then my sewing. The design papers are all from American Crafts warehouse sale, and were scrap pieces I had. I picked out coordinating flowers to hot glue to my card, and added some swirl branches too.  All the flowers are from Really Reasonable Ribbon . Lastly I just had to add some embellishments, and chose to use The Robins Nest Creative dew drops, love these!

I hope you enjoyed my card for today! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

A Hug for Rudolph /Candy Pocket Tag

 Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all!
Today I have a Candy Tag I made using I Brake For stamps darling " A Hug For Rudolph" Stamp. I absolutely LOVE making these tags, as they are super fun and easy to create! Perfect for giving as a little gift to a neighbor,  party favor, or for your co-workers.

My image was stamped up in black ink, and then cut out using the oval shape die. Next I airbrushed the background using copic marker. For Rudolph and the sweet little girl I colored them with copics and then used some stickles to give some glitz. I also added stickles to the snowflakes, as you can see they haven't dried yet :) hehehehe

My tag was created using several Cheery Lynn dies, and then added candy to the inside pocket. I made a bunch of candy tags to bring with me to our Christmas Doll club party that is tomorrow :) They are a little different .

The glitzy trim along the pocket is from my stash and is super OLD! Now the ribbon for the tag and bow  is called Chevron  Striped Twill Red and is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and is one of my many favorites.

Challenges:
Deep Ocean Challenges/Santa is coming to town
A Snowflake Promise/Winter Theme

A Christmas Kiss

 Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday!!
Today I have another Tag I created for gifts this year. On this tag I used I Brake For Stamps "A Christmas Kiss" stamp, and colored it with copic markers. I figured why not make my own. So I have been busy creating for at least 1 gift per person. I think these will be darling on the packages :) These tags are pretty big, most measure about 4 3/4" x 5" I think this one is 4 3/4" x 4 3/4".

 I love this sweet image, I thought it was too cute! I did enjoy coloring it up and then added some stickles for the glitz on this one. I Brake for Stamps has soooo many darling Christmas stamps, it makes me want them all....hehehehehe

I used all Cheery Lynn die cuts for cutting out my layers, and then added a sticker for the Merry Christmas, but I did punch it out with SU! punches. The Poinsettia is cheery lynn, and the little gems are studio calico. I added some  Really Reasonable Ribbons and then some glitter. Super fun and easy to make tags. So far I think I have made 6 different big tags :) and I still have more to make :)

Thank you so much for looking and have a lovely day!!

A Hug for Rudolph

 Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all!
I have to say this was a super fun tag to create using the DARLING I Brake For Stamps image called "A Hug for Rudolph". What a super cute stamp this is! I had fun coloring it up using copics and then some stickles for some glitz.

Tag was super easy to to make. I cut out all my die pieces(Cheery Lynn dies) and used foam tabs to pop them up. Next I stamped my image on white card stock and then cut it out using a cheery lynn circle die, and then airbrushed,a nd colored it up. My Really Reasonable Ribbon bow was created and then hot glued on along with the poinsettia sticker embellishment. I wanted a quick tag as we were getting ready to head out of town :) And this one I think turned out super sweet!!!

I hope you enjoyed my post for today!! Thank you for stopping by, and hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Shy Bears Harvest Time!



Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all! Today I have a super fun Harvest card I created for I Brake for Stamps. I chose for this card to use this DARLING "Harvest Shy Bear", isn't he just too cute??!!!! I LOVE these bears, and I Brake for stamps has a large collection of them.


I love this time of year, as all the leaves on the trees are changing and of course now we are loosing them all, but  it looks so beautiful. I hate to see it all leave, then we will have ugly upon us until snow comes. I have to say though summer is my favorite, and then Fall! So when I colored him up (Harvest Shy Bear)I chose to use some fall colors and then some blue. I LOVE the blue on this one! The paper line I chose for this is an old one called Autumn Harvest by Bazzill.

 I also added a tad bit of stickles to the leaves as I wanted some glitz to my image.

I also made a BIG bow using Really Reasonable Ribbon for my card today, they are leftover ribbons :) I did add a cabochon to the center of my bow.

For the Frames I used Cheery Lynn Design Dies Pierced Stacker #3 XL-21

Love , Peace , Joy

 Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to all! Today I have a card created for I Brake For Stamps using this beautiful sentiment called "Love ,Peace , Joy" I love how fancy the writing is on this stamp, he script is absolutely gorgeous!

 I stamped my Beautiful sentiment image LOVE PEACE JOY in tim holtz distressed ink Black Soot, using the Mini Misti tool. I can stress enough how easy and fun this makes stamping. I always get a nice dark image this way. I normally have un-mounted rubber, so this makes it so easy to do. Just had to share :)

The papers I used are from the DCWV Tis the Season Stack, this stack is huge and has tons of patterns in it, I have had this for a long time now. the fancy edge layer is a punch around the page, and then the frame at the top and bottom of the sentiment is a cut die piece that I had laying around :) I just cut it in half. I added sewing in pink, pink flowers cut from the same coordinating dp, and then some blue seam binding. Super fun!!!

Flower Die is Small Tea Rose from Cheery Lynn Designs , and Seam Binding is from Really Reasonable Ribbon

Thank you for looking and hope you have a lovely day!
