Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #179 - Fall Colors

Hello! Here it is again, another new challenge from Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog!  And this time we have the theme of  FALL COLORS!  Our sponsors are:

This week the challenge is: Fall Colours

Our sponsors this week are:

Polkadoodles

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

Scribbles Designs

Prize: $10 Gift Certificate for Images Only 

Cute as a Button

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Wow! Who can believe that it's almost Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner?? Another year has flown by! So for this challenge, Fall Colors, I chose to do the Marigold, The Darling Buds by Polkadoodles Designs.  Talk about a cutie! I love their images!

So for today, I chose to make a tag using my image. Here it is:

I used various layers of paper from The Paper Temptress. (Very good quality paper!). As you can see, they are all Fall Colors. I used 3D foam dots to "pop" my image on top of the orange paper. I added a yellow banner at the top and put gold rhinestone trim, and then added flowers. There are several different layers of twine for the top of the tag. A good friend of mine gave me some stickers that are very similar to "Dazzles", so I used gold as the trim around the layers. 

I hope that this has inspired you in some way, and that you will join in on the fun! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #174 - 3+ Layers!

Hello, crafters! And welcome to my blog and another challenge with Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! What an exciting challenge this is! I love adding layers....the challenge is: 3+ Layers. Our amazing sponsors for this week are:

Digital Delights

Prize: $5 Gift Certificate

Conie Fong

Prize: 2 Digital Images

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize: $12 Gift Certificate

Now on to my project for this challenge! I love Conie Fong images! Always have! And this one is no exception: Alanna.

I had such fun with this one! And I knew exactly what colors I wanted to make her! I also wanted to make her into a Christmas Tag. One of this first things I did was to print out 3 images. I cut out one using my Silhouette, and the 2nd one I fussy-cut only the head (that almost sounded gruesome!). The 3rd image, I only fussy-cut the flowers. I colored the same colors on all pieces. I then used 3D to layer the head onto the head of the full image. I loved the effect this gives with the shadowing!

Then I cut out my tag, layered it with Christmas paper from my stash, then layered again with a smaller piece on top of that (centering it), and then another strip of paper to make my 3rd layer (3+ layers). I added her on top of the 3rd layer, added some glitter glue on her flowers and bodice, and then added rows of gold rhinestones on the top and bottom of the tag. 

For the tie at the top, I just used some really thin gold cord and slid some tiny "jingle bells" onto it.

Wow! What fun she was to do! 

I hope that you will join us in this challenge! And I always appreciate your stopping by! Thank you!

Tags/Box Swap with ScrapbookingwithME Boutique

Hello, fellow crafty peeps! Today I want to share with you another project! I was recently in a Tags/Box swap with a Facebook group, ScrapbookingwithMe Boutique Members Page, where you had to make 8-4x2" tags and put them in a box. You could either make the box or alter one, as long as you put them into a box. My sister had recently given me a cigar box, so I used it to put the tags in, making sure it had plenty of room for some goodies. Here is my project...I hope you like it!

The Butterfly in Glittered Paper along with the Fastener are from ScrapbookingwithMe Boutique. The top of the box has Liquitex Glass Beads, which are also available in the boutique. Some of the laces are from the SBWM sister group, Lighthouse Stop n' Shop.  All the flowers, the stick pins, and butterflies are made by me. I had a wonderful time making this! 

I hope my Swap Partner likes what I did. It was delivered to her today! Yay! 

Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to check out those links, too! :)

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #125-Anything Goes!

Hello everyone! Today is the beginning of a new challenge over here at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! We sure hope you can join us! And here are our amazing sponsors for this week's theme: Anything Goes! The sponsor(s) for this challenge are:

The Paper Nest Dolls

Prize: $20 gift Certificate


SheepSki Designs

Prize: 3 Digital Images

I want to share with you now my project for this week. As I have mentioned before, I LOVE making tags. I have collected many through swaps, but I sure have a lot I've made still in my Iris Container! I keep them for just the right person at the right time. Now here is my new tag, using Kasmin from SheepSki Designs:

I have to tell you....I love Andrea's digitals! And this one is no exception! 

My Process:

I first colored my digital using my markers. Then I cut out a tag shape from my Tim Holtz collection, Paper Stash. I got that through ScrapbookingwithM.E.  Boutique. I then got my Tim Holtz Brick stencil and spread Liquitex Glass Beads (also from the Boutique) over various areas of the tag. Once I let that dry, I got out my TH Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and "smooshed" (for lack of a better word) onto my mat, squirted some water on that, and brushed it over the brick areas on my tag. I love the result! I dried the ink with my heat gun and then layered laces and pearl drop strands on top. At the bottom I added more laces, and a large flower with pearl sprays. At the top you see a hummingbird I bought through through Reneabouquets. 

I was totally excited about how much the colors all matched so well with each other! Oh, before I forget, I also stained the tie at the top with the same distress ink on the brick. I heat dried it so it would be permanent. 

I hope you give a go at making something for this week's challenge! And thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #119 - Embellish It!

Hello, crafty peeps! We've started another week of challenges over at Crafty Gals Corner! I sure hope you join us. Our wonderful sponsors this week are::

Polkadoodles

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

Dr. Digi

Prize: 2 Digital Images

So this week, I used an adorable image: A Gift - Winnie Fruit Punch by Polkadoodles. Adorable!!

Because of her name having "Fruit Punch" in it, I kinda thought of a strawberry flavor. With that in mind, I went with variations of pink for the fruit. I cut out my tag and image with my Silhouette, and colored her with my Prismacolors. I have some new markers, but there are still some things I'd just rather color with my pencils. I embellished the tag with laces, a butterfly, some roses, pearls, pearl spray, and flowers. 

I normally do a little stenciling on  my tags, but didn't want to cover up the lovely paper I had discovered in my paper stash. So I chose just to embellish it.

I hope you drop into Crafty Gals and enter into the challenges. Every week there are so many amazing projects to choose from, but so very hard to pick the Top 3! 

Thank you for stopping in my blog! I really appreciate it!

Sweet Escapes Tag

Hi once again, crafters! I discovered another digital company a short time ago. And I have to tell you...I love them! The company is Sweet Escapes. Believe me, when I went in to shop, it was hard to choose which image I would try first! But in the end, I chose the image called Kate.  (Just a side note here: I am not a Design Team Member with Sweet Escapes. This is just something I totally love and want to share.)

For her, I decided to make a tag. Here she is:

I printed off the digital paper and cut her out with my Silhouette. I used my Prismacolors to color her in. I decided to leave her hair black and white (although I did use my Prismacolors for the black and white colors anyway, to give it more depth). The butterfly you see is from Reneabouquets. I decorated my tag with lace, pearl trims, and a flower. 

I hope you enjoyed her! And thank you so much for stopping by!

Spring 2017 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop Share #2!

So, I made another project for the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop! And my husband wants it! (Really? Awesome!) So, he's going to hang it on the wall by his computer. 

I decided on this round to make a tag to hang like a little wall plaque. I normally use my Prismacolors to color in my projects, but I bought some markers to see how I liked using them. No, not Copic or any of the other name brands, as I wanted to experiment on markers first without spending a lot of money. After all, Prismacolors have been my go to for a long time, and I hesitated going into another medium.

If you go to JessicaLynnOriginal, you'll find some awesome stamps, even a free one! So you can join in too!

Now here is the tag:

I must say, for being cheap markers, they were very well worth it! I hope you join in on the hop too! I never imagined there were so many wonderful coffee digitals out there! So fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

JessicaLynnOriginal Reveal Card #3

Hello, fellow stampers! Today is my 3rd and final Reveal for the Jessica Lynn Original Mason Jar set! And of the 3 that I made, this one is my favorite! I love doing tags...I'm sure I've mentioned that somewhere before...lol...and I love pink! Here's a picture of what's in the set: 

And here is my project:

Close Up of Tag

As you can see, I have sort of a Mixed Media thing going on here. I used my Silhouette to cut out the bottom and top layers of the tag. Then I used my Gelatos to color up the top layer, and then used a stencil to spread texture paste all over it. Before it had a chance to dry, I added glass glitter all over the top, pressed it in slightly (be careful! it's sharp), and then used my heat gun to dry it. I loved the effect of the glass glitter. I also used Glossy Accents on the buttons and the little garden home to give it some shine. The butterfly applique is from KPKre8tions and the pink background paper with the pink ribbon are from Paper Temptress

. 

This adorable set of stamps can be shipped FREE if pre-ordered with the also NEW Hawaiian Vacation Brentwood Set! But hurry! Free shipping ends tonight! I adore this set of stamps. They are very well made, and the sizes of some of them are so cute! However, if you only want the Hawaiian set, it will be shipped free when pre-ordered, by itself. 

To learn more about the Hawaiian stamp set, follow this link to a video that Jessica has made:

Tsunami Rose Designs Mixed Media Tags

Hello, fellow crafters! It's time once again to share with you another DT project I did for Tsunami Rose Designs! This time I make a Mixed Media Tag. TRD has such beautiful digital papers! I'm amazed by the quality of these designs! For this tag set, I used the Rose Noteworthy Digital Printables. Here are photos of my project:

Large Tag with Pocket Insert & Tags with Envelopes

Tag showing Pocket

Tags with Decorated Envelopes

Tags - Die Cuts are on 3D Foam Squares

Back of Tag

Supplies: Chipboard (4x6"), Digital Design Papers, Digital Die Cuts, Stencil, Texture Paste, Lace, Pearl Drop Trim, Tags, White Litty Bitty Bags, and Twine (Whisker Graphics).

I started off by cutting down a black chipboard to 4"x6", then layered it with one of the digital journal prints (#15 in the kit), from TRD. I then took page 3 of the add-ons and fussy cut out one of the roses to make a large "die cut". Once I adhered those 2 layers on, I took my Rose stencil (Prima) and spread my texture paste on it. I set that aside, and began creating my tags I got from Whisker Graphics. I took one of the add-ons (#13) and adhered the paper to the tags, adding a die cut with 3D Foam Squares on each one. My die cuts were all cut from the Ephemera Kit 14 page 13. I then used my hole punch and added twine (Whisker Graphics) through the holes. 

I decorated the 2 Litty Bitty Bags with a musical note on one and a sentiment on the other, also adding die cuts from the same Ephemera Kit. Once I was done with those and knew the stenciling was dried, I added the lace, pearl trim, and a pocket with a die cut onto the front of the card. You'll also see that I decorated the back, as I didn't want to leave it bare. 

I hope you enjoy this and visit Tsunami Rose Designs Etsy Store! Here are some other great links to follow TRD!
