Best Dessed Gift Tags


Hello everyone.

Every Christmas and birthday I spend ages making gift tags and I really do love the ones I have made in the past where I have used die cuts to make them.  But I didn't realised how easy and quick using a punch would be.

I decided to buy one of our tag topper punches.  There are currently two designs available at the moment and I will link to both at the bottom of the post.

To make the tags I cut two shapes, one from white card stock and one from mint macaron card stock.

I then stamped the image using the Dressed To Impress stamp set and selected a greeting from the Peaceful Moments bundle.

I then added the coordinating mint macaron ribbon from the Best Dressed Suite.

Lots of lovely tags made in moments.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Daring Cardmakers - Inky Backgrounds

Hello and how are you all.

We have had some glorious sunshine this week and all I could think about was getting clothes washed and dried.  I then managed a little weeding in the garden which is something I hate doing.

Also lets not forget.

I have a lovely new challenge to share from the team over at Daring Cardmakers.

This week our lovely host is Rizwana who would like to see some sort of inky background on your cards.

I used brushos on my card today and created this crazy background. I thought it looked a bit like a galaxy so I decided to use some stars as well.

I used a piece of water colour paper and just added several colours to the cardstock and sprayed with water.  What I love about using these is you never really know what it will turn out like.

I then waited for the brushos to dry and also gave it a blast with my heat gun to make sure it was completely dry before I added the stamping and heat embossing.

I used a stamp set called Making Christmas Bright to create the background.  The die cut word is from a die set called Broadway Birthday and I also used the matching stamp set called Broadway Birthday.

I die cut the word WISH and added some more heat embossing to it but this time I added a few layers.  As you can see I touched it before it was dry, oops.

I then added some black card stock banners with more heating embossed greetings.

Thanks for stopping by today and please head over to the Daring Cardmakers Blog for more lovely inspiration from the Design Team.

Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper Card

Hello all.

I just love this designer series paper and I wanted to make the paper the focus of the card.

When you have paper this gorgeous you only need to use a sentiment.  

This is just what I have done here.  

I selected this beautiful paper which has a row of poppies along the bottom and I cut the centre out and added a mat of black card stock to make the panel stand out.  

I then heat embossed the greeting in white embossing powder and added this to the front but off to the side as I didnt want to cover the poppies.

A super simple card and quick to make.  
I love that you can allow the designer paper to be the main focus of your projects.  This paper is just so lovely.

Thanks for stopping by today.
