Card with Tag

Hello crafty people!

Today I have a card to share with you.

I was trying to use up some pieces that I had started

or made a while ago that were in my stash and

I came across this tag.

Don't have a clue when I made it or why,

probably just messing around.  

I thought it would be nice on a card

so I grabbed my stash of background pieces that

I had made and chose the orange one.

I thought it matched nicely with that washi tape

at the bottom of the tag.
The background piece was made with alcohol inks on

a glossy card stock.
I added the best wishes sentiment to the tag and

adhered it to the front of the card.

Done, easy peasy.

The inside, I left blank, so I could add a 

personal note or stamp it at a later time.

I appreciate that you stopped to spend a little time

with me today.
I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

use some of your stash and make something

unexpected.

 

Kelsie's Card

Hi all!

Our family has a lot of birthdays and anniversaries

in February.  One of those is our daughter's birthday.

Kelsie loves purple, so I took a dive into my 

background stash and found this piece that I made

with alcohol inks and blending solution on

vellum.  It's hard to get a picture of how really 

beautiful this piece is, but I love it.

When the ink was still a little tacky in spots

I applied some pink metallic Deco-foil

Adhesives show through vellum, so I covered the 

entire back of it with wide score tape and adhered it to

a white card base. Covering the entire piece

gives it a uniform look and you can't see the adhesive.

I cut the Happy Birthday from some glitter card stock

and also cut 3 or 4 from plain white card stock.

I then layered them to give the sentiment some dimension.

You can see the shiny pink Deco-foil a little better

in this picture.

On the inside of the card, I wrote a personal note 

to Kelsie.

Thanks for coming by today,

I hope you'll stop again soon.

Until then,

make someone smile.

Lego Valentine

Hello blog friends.

A little bit ago, I posted a Lego card that I made

for a birthday and my nephew just loved it.

For Valentine's Day I wanted to make something special

for him.  The other cards I made just didn't

look like something a young boy would like,

so I decided to make him another Lego card.

I found a picture of a Lego heart online

and recreated it with some background pieces

made with alcohol inks from my stash.

I designed it and

 cut all the Lego pieces with my Silhouette,

then pieced them together onto

white card stock.

Each of the little circles are on tiny

foam dot adhesive pieces.

It was a bit fussy, but well worth

the time, as I love how it turned out.

I hope Anthony loves it as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way and

will come again soon.

Until then

think outside the box and try something

new!
