Hello There!

Hello Friends!  Another punched paper card for you today!  I used my circle punch and a tag die from PTI to complete this project.  The floral stamps are from Floral Fusion and Mini Blooms (both PTI).  The patterned paper is from that same Doodlebug pad I've been wearing out the last few days.  Finally got my money's worth from a 6x6 pad.

Polka Dot Card and Tag

Hello friends!  Today I have for you one card of a set I made.  I unfortunately deleted the pictures of all the other cards and cute packaging.  The set was auctioned off at our chili lunch.  So all I have left is this one sad little picture.  I might recreate this set because it was fun to make.  I used PTI's Polka dot basics, fillable frames, cardstock, ribbon, tag sale die, and buttons.  The big sentiment on the tag (one of my favorites!) is from Waltzingmouse's compact sentiments.

Cute Little Tag

Hi Friends!  Today I have a fun little tag for you.  You are probably seeing the double tag all over the place- I thought I would give it a try.  I double cut the PTI tag 1 die from both patterned paper and cardstock.  Then I shortened the cardstock layer and gave it a scalloped edge.  A little stamping, a little ribbon and we are good to go!

And here it is all put together!  So pretty!  Thanks for stopping by today!

More Christmas Tags

 

Hello there friends!  I've got some Christmas gift tags for you today.  These are pretty small- couple of inches across maybe?  They are dies from provo craft.  I cut a bunch of them with white cardstock.

Next I stamped on the images (PTI and Cats Pajamas) and colored with my copics.

I added a little bit of stickles for sparkle.

 

And I wrapped them all up in this tiny little pizza box that I embellished with PTI and Cats Pajamas stamps and some Mines Eye papers.

Christmas Tags!

Well its been forever hasn't it?  I think its safe to say that some of my priorities have changed.  As much as I love crafting and blogging it just hasn't been at the top of my list lately.  I have made plenty of cards and lately tags but I haven't photographed and I clearly haven't blogged.  Life just gets so busy.  My job, my kids, the 200 books I have been reading recently!  Anyway if any of you are still out there- here is what I have for you today!

Cute little gingerbread man from Lawn Fawn.  Sentiment from PTI.  The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye and the tag is cut using the Tag Sale 2 die from PTI. 

Presents are paper pieced.  I used the stamp from Waltzingmouse's Basket Additions.  This one took plenty of fussy cutting.  Patterned paper from My Mind's Eye.

Gingerbread men- so cute!  Also from WMS basket additions!  Buttons are from PTI.  Paper from My Mind's Eye.

Hey do you love Waltzingmouse as much as I do?  Did you see that they are releasing some awesome and much needed dies???  And you can get them shipped from the USA?  All true!  Check it out!

Mini Blooms Tags and Card

Hello my friends!  It has been awhile.  I just haven't been feeling the blogging bug lately.  I've been creating plenty but when the card is done I haven't been photographing or uploading.  I keep thinking the want will come back eventually and hopefully I will get back on some type of schedule.  I had thought about scheduling it out but then this isn't my job- I have one of those and as much as I love it its still work.  I certainly don't want my hobby to be work too.  So there you have it.  Anyway today I do have a little something for you.  Its taken with my iphone so the pictures are not edited.  I am all about easy lately. 

Tags are up first.  These are made with the new PTI set Mini Blooms.  I love this set already.  I have only had it in my possession for a few days but I love it.  The tags are also PTI- the Tremendous tags.  I stamped using Melon berry, summer sunrise, and new leaf ink.  I used the mini bloom dies to make the pop ups.

Here we have the matching card.  I actually made the tags first and then was inspired by the colors.  I stamped the large corner leaf/flower image in green and then added colored flowers using the die cuts.  I added the melon berry ribbon (right over where I smudged- LOL) and called it a day.  Thanks for coming by- I appreciate you coming back to read here even when the posts are sporadic!

As Promised... More Tags!

Hi friends!  I have more tag pictures for you as promised!

This one uses WMS wreath and sentiment.  Some bakers twine and dinky jingle bells.

This one is also WMS- colored with color pencils.  I also added some of the most dinky adorable jingle bells ever.

This one is a combo of two different PTI sets.  Clearly I am a fan of stickles glitter glue.

Thanks for all your nice comments yesterday!  I am like Pavlov's dog when the email bell rings!  Thanks for being sweet.  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Christmas Tags!

I am a very happy girl!  Why do you ask?  Because it is not even Thanksgiving and I have 95% of my Christmas shopping done and 75% of it wrapped and ready to go!  This is the earliest ever!  All the tags you see today are not staged... they are on actual gifts ready to leave my house!!!  And now you know why I am so happy today!

This tag features stamps from Lawn Fawn.  The set is Sweet Christmas.

This tag is a mash up with PTI (holly), WMS (no peeking), and TCP (penguin).  I love this tag!

This one is all WMS!  I hand drew the face because I wanted him to wink.  The ribbon looks a bit orange- I assure you it is red.  Thanks for coming by!  I will have some more tags for you tomorrow!

Morning Glories

Hello Friends!  I have some PTI Morning Glories for you today.  I had stamped these out a long time ago to color on vacation.  Well I ended up never coloring so I found them whilst cleaning up my mess and decided to get in a little Copic practice.   So here they are all colored up in shades of pink!  I love the way they came out.  If I remember correctly these are RV55, 63,69  or something close to that.  The leaves are G07 and G09.  The leaves read a little funny in the photo.  I am not sure why, they dont really look like that in real life.  Not much else going on here except for more twine (gotta use that 400 yards up!) and a little tag using PTI Boxes, Bags, and Tags and Mixed messages.  Thanks for stopping in.
 

Stocking Tag

Hi there blog friends! I have a cute little Christmas tag for you today. I used some patterned paper by American Crafts.  I think it is called Merry Mint.  The stocking is from Stocking Prints (PTI) and the sentiment is from Holiday Lights.  Everything was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed.  The tag shape is from PTI, as is the bow and button.  Thanks for stopping in today!

Christmas Tags and a Christmas Cat

Hello blog friends! I am back from my whirlwind trip to Oregon for one last goodbye to my grandfather. I have some more tags for you today. Like I said before, I was a tag making machine a few weekends ago.

This first tag uses stamps from hero arts and a whole lot of paper piecing. Its way to fussy to mass produce. I made exactly one. The tag die is from PTI.

Tag 2 uses an older set from PTI- Take a Bough. Love that set. Can not sell it, even though I think I should sometimes because I have so many Christmas sets. I am a sucker, what can I say.
Finally I give you my cat Tiger, Santa Cat. He is sitting with my daughter. I don't think he is too pleased at the turn of events. But he was a good sport.

More Tags

Hello friends! I am going to be in and out of town all week. We just got back from my Father in Law's place and in a few days I am off to my grandfather's memorial service. In between, I will be working. So if the posts are a bit sporadic, that's why. Its going to be mostly tags this week, although I am starting another project that I am pretty excited about, my SIL's baby shower invites! I am sure the first 5 will be fun (and the next 35 a chore! LOL).

And a little bigger....

This tag uses PTI Tiny Treats Christmas and a Waltzingmouse Christmas set (I am not sure which off the top of my head, sorry!)  The paper is from My Mind's Eye.  The ribbon and buttons are from PTI, as is the cardstock and die I used to cut the tag.  The twine is from Crate and Barrel.

Christmas Tags

Hello Friends!  Well I think I am finally over this stupid cold.  It had me down for a week, which for me, is really unusual.  Anyway, last night I was finally feeling well enough to get some crafting done.  I decided to break out the Christmas stamps and make some tags.  I made soooo many! So its gonna be all tags on the blog for the next week or so.  LOL!
This tag features stamps from Papertrey Ink.  The sentiment is from Holiday Lights and the little penguin is from Tiny Treats:  Christmas.  I am using 6x6 Christmas paper from My Mind's Eye.  I love this collection!  The ribbons, cardstock, and buttons are from PTI.

Same tag, different colors! The twine is from this massive spool from Crate and Barrel. I bought it last year and I dont think I will ever be able to use it all up!
Thanks for stopping by today! I should be back on Monday with more tags.

Shady Tree Studio Christmas in July (New Stamps!)

Shhhhhh... my post day isn't until Wednesday but I have a little something I want to show you. Its made with brand new stamps from Shady Tree Studio!

Isn't that the cutest little snowman? Don't you just love his primitive style? Cute little buttons? This is a little tag I made using a die from Quickutz. All the stamps are from Shady Tree Studio and will be released on July 29th. Pretty simple construction here. Die cut the kraft paper. Then stamped it up with a variety of inks. Colored the snowman using copics and American Crafts slick writer in white. I added some buttons and a pretty ribbon to finish it off.

More Cherries

Good Morning! I have more cherries for you today! Once I started with the cherries I had a hard time stopping. LOL! For the first card I used some versamark on kraft paper for the base. I added some cosmo cricket and pti paper scallops. Next I got out one of my fillable frames (which #? I dont know! sorry!) and die cut it and stamped the frame. Then I added the cherries, colored with copics and added a layer of "liquid glass".
Here's a close up. The ribbon is melon, which matches the paper. Its tied around some red cardstock. No room for a sentiment but if I remember correctly I stamped the inside of the card with a thank you sentiment and another cherry.
Finally a little cherry tag. I cut the tag out of pure poppy cardstock with my tag die. I added some white adhesive felt flowers (I think they are by Queen&Co.). Then I followed up with another fillable frame, more cherries, some ripe avocado ribbon, and a button. I think its done! LOL! Have a great weekend.

Cookie bag

Good Morning! I have a little treat sack today. I bought the bags from PTI. They're cute and small and perfect for four or five homemade cookies. I used the PTI tag die (I think its number 3) and a spellbinder lacy circle cut from some sweet echo park paper (at least I think its echo park). I added a little circle punch stamped with the PTI Tag It set. A little bit of rustic twine and some golden harvest ribbon and you are all done! Thanks for coming by today.

Pretty Packaging Makes Everything Better

Hi Bloggy Friends! I have some cute pretty packaging for you to look at today. I really like the tag. That rose card has been on the blog before. If you search copics or year of flowers tags you should find it. The tag was made with the mat stack 2 set from PTI. I have some fresh snow ink and a little bling and I called it done. I like quick and easy things!

Shady Tree Tags and Some News

Hi there! I have some fun little tags I made with some of my Shady Tree Studio stamps today. These are from the last release. They are so fun for Valentine's day or even weddings and anniversaries. I also have some great news about STS. Nancy is about to hit 20,000 on her counter and when she does there is going to be something cool happening. So definitely check over at her blog on Monday and Tuesday. You just might be seeing some discounts....

Do You Sense a Theme Here Lately?

I've got more tags today! These feature Waltzingmouse (that lovely polka dot) and Hero Arts (bird and sentiment). They are cut out with my nesties. I went all red for a simple look.

More Tags

Good Morning! A couple more tags for you today! I made these using PTI's 2008 Tag set. The little holly leaf is from a Hero Arts clear set, not quite sure which one. But I love it because the berries are not green. LOL. Tag construction is pretty simple. The striped paper is from doodlebug- last year's Christmas line. Two sided velvet ribbon was a steal at Michaels (several Christmases ago). Thanks for stopping in!
