Tags and Tag Cards

Beautiful kit photo taken by Lindsey

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Marcia is our talented host for the month of December. Marcia sent many beautiful items to make some fun tags for Christmas. I needed so many more cards, so I added a few of the tags to my cards, flat for mailing.

 This top layer is tissue paper that Marcia added to the kit! I loved it so much I had to use it on a card! I adde a bit of white dots to the berries and glitter on the leaves. 

I only added my own bow from The Greetery for this sweet little  shaker tag, that Marcia included in the kit.

For the tag above I just added some glitter and just a tiny bit of color.

 I used my blending brushes( Tayloredexpressions) on the white tag using fadded jeans ink from Tim Holtz then splattered some shimmer watercolors on top. 

Always nice to receive and already heat embossed image, so easy to color in with Zig Brush Pens. Thank you Marcia, I might need this Penny Black stamp now😉

You can get all the info over at the The 12 Kits of Occasions including the supply list.

Many blessing in 2020  May you have , peace, joy and hope!

God Bless You

Autumn Days 12 Kits

 Hello and Happy Halloween! 

Well, it's that time of month when we share what each team member has made with the card kit that was sent out to us. Our host for the month is the sweet and talented  Sharron : On Papillon Wings. Oh, what a pretty kit!

For the card above, I die cut a few of the patterned papers with Poppystamps die .

I colored the leaf with zig pens and shimmer over that. I used the 

Crimped Frame Die  from The Greetery for the frame. The envelope liner was cut using an envelope liner then :2236 Maple Leaf Side Strips and Stencil craft die from Poppystamps 

 I used lots of scraps for this one all cut the same width then taped together. I used some foam to raise the upper panel .

I went ahead and colored in the cute pie image , always afraid with only one  chance to get it right.

Thanks so much for stopping by! As you can see Sharron sent out a beautiful fall kit with many images I didn't have . Thank you Sharron.

Best Summer Ever

photo by Lindsey

Hello ! I hope you all had a wonderful July!

I am the host for the month of July and chose this Echo Park Paper 

called : Best Summer Ever. 

 The card above was very simple to make , the sentiment is from Concord & 9th

I love this striped paper and thought it was a pretty backdrop for this Concord  & 9th  Florals Stamp set.

I used the TE ink blending brushes and some oxide inks to change the color of this popsicle then used a shimmer pen to try and make it look cold.

This one above is probably my favorite and more my style. I fussy cut the Altenew : Golden Garden stamp set, watercolored it with Zig pens. The jar is from the Greetery. Love that three step jar.

 Please stop by the 12 Kits of Occasions blog HERE to see the rest of the designers and the list of supplies in the upper tab.

I hope you have a wonderful August...fall is around the corner !!!!(kinda)
