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!

Valentine Pouches and Bookmarks

Hello friends! I have some Valentine fun for you today. These are the pouches I made for my kids' teachers.  I got the cute little bags from Michelle Phillippi.  You can buy them in her shop.  I folded them half way up and then secured them with score tape.  This gives you two pouches.  One from the fold and one in the bag.  I have seen them done where people sew them but I do not enjoy sewing.  The score tape worked great.  Next I added lots of little fun pieces from pink and red cardstock and some patterned paper (Simple Valentine)  In the bag are some giant Ghirardelli bars and some smaller candy and a bookmark.


Here are all three together.  Each one is a little different.  I get bored doing the same old thing.
 
Next the little bookmarks.  I used the bookmark die, some old ribbon, scrap paper and Simple Valentine and Tiny Treats stamps.
 
 Last we have the candy bar wrap.  I did this up for my hubby.  Its another giant Ghirardelli Chocolate bar.  I wrapped it in pp and added a stamped embellishment.
That's all I have!  Thanks for stopping in!
 

Valentine's Pockets

Hello Friends! I have a cute little Valentine Pocket for you today.
Its made with half of a kraft envelope.  You seal up the envie and the cut it in half.  Now you have a nice little pocket.  Next you take some Valentine paper, cardstock and stamps and start decorating.  I used Simple Valentine paper, Tiny Treats, Simple Valentine, and Love Birds stamps.  Just start mixing and matching until you come up with something you like.  Stuff the inside with chocolates or whatever you have laying around.

I used the same sets and paper for this pocket as well.  My daughter liked this one, my son preferred the dog.  I guess we know who is getting what for V-day now!  LOL, thanks for stopping in!

Teacher Gifts

Well hello blog friends! Its been awhile. Nothing major, just the usual December madness. I have a couple of paint cans that I decorated for my kids' teachers last week. The kiddos are now on vacation but the school district I work for has us working up until December 23rd!!!! No wonder I feel tired.  Anyway these little cans are from Target.  They were in the dollar spot.  I picked up four (they only had six and two were a little dinged).  I used some old Basic Grey patterned paper and some stamps from WMS and PTI to fancy them up.  It only took about 15 minutes to make both.

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.

Halloween Make It Monday

Hello friends! Its Make It Monday over at Papertrey ink. Today's challenge was making your own background paper, which just happens to be something I love to do, so I decided to play along.  My background paper is made with the little characters from Tiny Treat Halloween.  The little stars are from Star Prints and Love Lives Here Christmas.  I colored with my copics, just quickly, it really didn't take very long.  Next I stamped the big Mat Stack 4 in Virdian Leaf green.  I added the little Jack O Lantern and the sentiment.  To get the green mat I traced around my Mat Stack die and then hand cut with scissors, not as easy as die cutting but it gets the job done.  Thanks for stopping in today!  Happy Halloween!

Teacher Gifts- Doggie Notecard set

Good Morning Friends! I have another notecard set for you today. This one is for my son's teacher. She loves dogs. This happens to be the only dog stamp I own. Its from Tiny Treats Valentine by PTI.

It's the same basic construction as yesterday's box. Except that the cards are 3.75x3.75 and I laid them next to each other to get the measurement for the bottom of the box. All other measurements (adding the 1.4 inch and the inch all around) are all the same. I stamped the little dog onto the sides. Isn't he cute? Vellum top made very similarly to yesterday's project.
Inside you can see the two different notecards. The patterned paper is from American Crafts. Sunshine or something like that. I cut it out using the large and small ric rac dies. On the front we have stamps from Tiny Treats, Tag Its, and Fillable Frames. A variety of inks from a variety of sources were used as well.

The 4 inch square envies are also from PTI. I decorated them to match the little notecards.

I have kraft envies for the kraft cards and white for the white ones. I love those cute little envelopes, they really make the gift. You might also be noticing a divider. Just a little piece of scrap card to keep the cards from shifting everywhere. If you put in a divider you will need to cut a little slit in the lid to go over it. Simple and easy to do.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I appreciate you taking the time to come by! Have a good week!

Another PC Reject

Here's another card I submitted for the sketch challenge from papercrafts. I apologize for not knowing the sketch number. It was basically exactly as seen here,lol. I used a whole bunch of bitty box paper. I love how it turned out. I would have picked it! hahaha! Anyhow, scalloped die, bitty boxes paper, twill, sentiment from tiny treats, valentine. I am off to the endocrinologist now. Such a joy, NOT.

Birthday Card Set

Good Morning Bloggy Friends! I have a little birthday card set that I made for a friend to donate to her church auction. First up is the whole set- packed into a plastic wallet and tied with a pretty bow. Bonus is the cute little tag that could be used on a birthday bag. All stamps are from PTI. The inks are a mix of dew drops and PTI hybrid.The first card up is done in a purple scheme. All the cards have the same layout. I did vary the pictures. Two have birthday cakes, two have cupcakes. Most of the stamps are from TT Birthday but some are from fillable frames and some from Its a Celebration.


This peach card is my favorite, which is funny because I have never really liked that melon berry paper. But something about this card has me really liking it.
This card is my second favorite and the first one I made. I love that mat stack stamp.

Red Bird Tag

I love this tag! I totally CASED the tree and bird from this card by the talented Susan. It was a super easy tag to make. I started with the single tree from Through the Trees (PTI). I stamped it in Versamark and then embossed it in seafoam white. I added the bird and sentiment (Tiny Treats, PTI) with pure poppy ink. Next came a snippet of PTI white velvet ribbon, a pure poppy button, and some Martha Stewart red bakers twine. The whole thing is done up on a spring rain tag, made using PTI's tag die #2. Thanks for stopping in today!

One More Chocolate and Cream

One last chocolate and cream creation. This one uses TT Christmas and rustic snowflake stamp sets. I used my new Victorian edge die from PTI as well. The snowflakes are done in versamark on dark chocolate. The little mittens got the copic treatment. Thats about it, super easy card.

I got an email from Nancy today. That means there will be more Shady Tree Studio goodness coming your way very soon. I can't wait! Love those stamps. Have a great weekend!

Sick

So I have been battleing this horrible cold for the past three days. I feel so awful. Its been chicken soup, hot tea, and sleep here. I can't stand not feeling good. Ugh! I do not make a good patient. Now that I have that little whine out of the way, let me show you today's card.

Ive got a dark chocolate base. I added some faux stitching using WMS, Offbeat backgrounds. I have a red spellbinder lacey circle with a cream scallop on top. I stamped it with the label stamp from PTI Tiny Treat Valentine. I added the mittens and sentiment from TT Christmas. A little copic action, and we are all done.

Chocolate with Cream...

Good Morning! Who stayed up late and got more stamping goodness from PTI? Me too! Can't wait til my package gets here! In the meantime... I have a card using Tiny Treats and Rustic snowflake. I started with a cream base and stamped my snowflakes in dark chocolate. I added some bazzill paper cut with my large scallop die and a piece of satin dark chocolate ribbon. Next I used the label from Tiny Treats Valentine and stamped it in red on cream. I added the little dear and happy holiday sentiment. Colored the dear with my copics, punched the whole thing out with my mega scallop punch and popped it up with pop dots. As far as cards go, pretty easy peasy!

Christmasy Stuff

Good Morning! I have lots of Christmasy, taggy, goodness for you today. I used PTI's fillable frame 9, die, and tiny treats set to create the dies above. Actually on the ones above my 10 year old daughter did most of the work. She cut them all out. I stamped the frames and images. She helped color with my spica pens. Didn't they come out cute? We have made dozens! Now I just need some baker's twine to put through the hole.

This next tag I used PTI's tag die 2, and merry and bright stamp set. A little yellow stickles and some glittery spica pens spice things up a bit.

A few more dies from Fillable Frame 9. The tiny trees are from Merry and Bright. Holly and Ornament from Tiny Treats. Tiny snowflake is from rustic snowflake. It was hooked to the handstamped by sentiment. I chopped it off. (GASP! I KNOW!) Thanks for stopping in on your Saturday!

More Tiny Treat Tags

Look at these little guys! Same idea as yesterdays tags but with these cute little gingerbread men and a little more embellishing. Hope you like!
Edit: I did use white gel pen on the gingerbread men. I like the uni signo broad (something like that!)

Tiny Treats Tag

Hope you are not sick of Tiny Treats yet, I fear there is a lot more to come! LOL! Today I have a tag for you. I cut it out of kraft with my tag die. I stamped it up with lots of snowflakes from the set Rustic Snowflake (PTI). I inked the edges and then stamped the focal image and sentiment in black. A little help from the copics (go lightly here so it doesn't seep through) and you are all done!

Tiny Treat Gingerbread Man

Another tiny treats card for you today. This one is very similar to yesterday's except a different color scheme. I think I actually made this one first.
Card Deets:
Stamps: PTI Tiny Treats Christmas
Card: Kraft, white (PTI)
Other: pure poppy ribbon, signo gel pen

Tiny Treats Christmas

Oh how I love this set! There is not one image I don't like. This is a pretty simple card. Kraft base, TT Christmas stamps, palette virdian green ink, gel pen, pinefeather ribbon and button. Thats is, took me maybe 10 minutes to make.

PTI Blog Hop

Its time for the Papertrey Ink customer blog hop. You can check out all the details here. This month's challenge involved a brown bag:
In honor of school going back into session everywhere, we thought it would be fun to issue a Brown Bag Challenge. We want to see what you can do to dress up, alter, change an ordinary brown lunch bag into a paper crafting work of art. You could modify it to become a gift bag with handles, create a card base by folding it in half (complete with a slide out tag), add a window to it or whatever else you can dream up. After the hop is though, we should all have plenty of inspiration to help us create amazing projects with inexpensive brown bags! We look forward to seeing your creations!
I broke out my new set, Tiny Treats: Halloween, to create a fun little Halloween gift or treat bag. The first thing I did was cut off a bit of the top and then punch the top with my fiskars threading water punch. Next I used various little images from tiny treats to create a background. I slipped a piece of scratch paper in my bag and then used my copics to color. Next I used my mat stack die to cut out a piece of white card. I stamped it with the coordinating stamp from Tiny Treats and added the little witch's pot. I colored it with my copics and added stickles for detail. I popped it up with dimensionals. Next I added some orange card cut with my scalloped die and added a purple swiss dot ribbon. Thanks for coming by!
