Love Tag

Hello everyone! I'm back today for this week's "Tie it Up" challenge at The Kraft Journal where I immediately thought of a gift tag to "tie up" to a package!

I started with a base of a large shipping tag that I topped with a decorative reinforcer. I layered some trimmed vintage dictionary pages and film strip ribbon and then topped the tag with an ephemera card, some seam binding, and some alpha stickers.

I've been loving collagey-type things lately and I can't get enough ephemera (though my storage would say otherwise!) I think this turned out super and I love the vintage look of it! I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week!

Supplies: Tag/Vintage Dictionary Pages (The Kraft Outlet), Seam Binding (7 Gypsies), vintage button, Bird Die Cut (Glitz Design), Twine (PTI), Thickers, Reinforcer/Film Strip Ribbon (Tim Holtz), Ink - Tea Dye Duo (PTI)

Rubbernecker Kittie Hop

This is my second post for today. If you are looking for my Waltzingmouse Stamps sketch challenge card, scroll down just a touch...
Hello friends! Thank you for joining in our Rubbernecker Stamps Kittie Kit Hop and we are so excited to share these fun kits with you today!! There is a HOP ROUTE for you to follow below and make sure to comment along the way to be eligible for our prize - a Kittie Kit of your very own! Fun!
For this card, I chose the Beach Kit which has some really cute beach images in it including these three wonderful ladies! I sat them on a "beach" of kraft cardstock and added some tiny little gold shells. I pieced their suits and hats from a coordinating paper collection and finished the card with a wonderful sentiment.

The winner will be announced Friday 1/27 so you'll have plenty of time to hop. Be on the look out for our next hop coming in February. Until then, be sure to check out the daily posts on the Stampin' Sisterhood blog - there's lots of inspiration to be found!

LOVE

Happy Saturday, friends! Today is challenge day at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge and we have another wonderful sketch for your inspiration! I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Remember, if you don't have any Waltzingmouse Stamps, there are a lot of freebies in the shop that you are more than welcome to use to play along!
I saw that small square in the center and thought to make for little squares to make up a larger one. I stamped every pattern from Gingham and Co. and then punched a square of each with a postage stamp punch. I used the same red ink on each but love how the pattern variations really impact how the color looks! I cut a sheet of patterned paper and then stamped the hearts from Sewing Box Hugs to give it a bit more of a pattern and finished with a sentiment from Say it Loud. I finished the card with some Scrabble tile chipboard stickers and really like how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and I don't say enough how much I appreciate each and every one of my readers and all of you who take time to comment! They really make my day! :)

French Doors

Hello friends! Today is tutorial day over at the Kraft Journal and I've got a card to share that I made with a fastener inspired by an inter-office mail envelope I saw at work the other day! And, because it was inspired by an object I see every day "around the office", I am also linking it up to the "around the house" challenge at Moxie Fab World! Yes, I hate to say that I'm at home at the office, but a girl has to make a living, right? :)
I started with a standard 4.25 x 5.5 card base made from light kraft cardstock which was folded twice for a french door effect.I start most cards by getting out a ton of supplies and then pare down until I find what I'm going to use.
I measured and cut two panels from a sheet of patterned paper and stamped them with a beautiful rose image from Waltzingmouse Stamps and stamped a hang tag with a sentiment for the inside of the card.
I glued some hang tag string to one of a pair of vintage rhinestone buttons.
I adhered a panel of patterned paper to the interior of the card and attached the tag, tying the string in a bow.I tied some shabby ribbon around one of the "doors", used two stick pins as decorative accents, and glued the buttons down on the card.
To close the card, I simply wound the string around the two buttons!
Here is a view of the finished card's interior!

I can't wait to hear about every day items that weave their way into your craft projects!

My Happiness

This is my second post for today! If you're looking for my Waltzingmouse Blog Party card, scroll down just a bit. :)
Hello friends! Today is "Tuesdays with the Team" day at the Rubbernecker Stamps blog and I'm happy to feature this tag!

I stamped the baby bottle image twice - once on gray paper and once on yellow paper coordinated from the Farmhouse Collection. I cut the bow from the gray image and pieced it over the yellow image for some added color. The tag also features a coordinating die cut, chipboard butterfly covered with another sheet of Farmhouse patterned paper, and a gray button.

Take Care

Hello friends! It is new challenge day at Waltzingmouse Sketch and I'm excited to see all of the wonderful creations with this sketch as the inspiration -
I bought some vintage postage stamps while we were on vacation last summer and have been having lots of fun playing with them lately (look for a card using them in an upcoming Paper Crafts special issue! ;)) With that as the start, I thought travel-themed papers and a sentiment would be perfect. I finished the card with a layer of filmstrip ribbon and some baker's twine.

Link up by Friday for a chance to be crowned Top Mouse and/or win a set of your choice from Waltzingmouse Stamps! Whee!!
