Happy Halloween

Hi Ya!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful week. Today is a new challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbons our theme - Halloween!! Yep, so you get to share all your spooky ghoulish creations with us, How FUN IS THAT!! :D

So of course I used the Too Cute To Spook ribbon assortment for the Halloween Tag I created. I just couldn't help it. I used the spider web black satin ribbon with the beautiful double faced satin tangerine.   If you haven't got these awesome ribbons yet, you gotta get them. They are just beautiful and so great to use for your Halloween projects. I also used a TH Stamp and numbers along with Recollections Halloween paper and some die cuts.

 Such a fun tag for Halloween. I stapled the spider web ribbon on small stamped tag.

I embossed the stamped image with black embossing poweder and used

 TH inks around my image. I wanted to give it like a sunset type of look. 

And with spider webs on the stamp I had to use the spider web ribbon. Right??? 

I fussy cut the little sentiment on the top popped it up with 3D adhesives and I fussy 

cut the scary pumpkin on the bottom. The fence is a cut from my cricut. For my 

background I used Anna Griffith die spider web die cut and a spider from 

the collection. I added black stickles to the spider. 

I love how it all came together.

Reasonable Ribbons - spider web black satin ribbon and double faced satin tangerine
Stamps - TH stamper Anonymous - x-ray collage  Halloween

Your Invited For Cake

Hi everyone!

Well today I have a new challenge for you all at One Stitch At A Time Challenge 271 Anything Goes with A Special Day. Come over to join us with all your cards showing how you create a card or project celebrating A Special Day.

For this wonderful challenge I used a digital stamp from the StitchyBear Digital Outlet Store Wonderland Cake designed by CraftyGirl Creations. 

When I saw this stamp I just knew what paper I wanted to use with this stamp Graphic 45 - Hallowe'en in Wonderland Collection, I really think it goes perfectly. 

I decided to do something a little different something a little off from my 

usual using fun colors with my copic markers.  

 Here is a closer look of the stamp and the background of the Tag. I used some fun

items to create my background Tim Holtz distressed paints and inks, BoBunny black gesso

with TH stencil Harlequin and BoBunny Grape Glitter paste. 

Here is a close up of the stamp. 

Applied Glossy Accents to nose and clock. I also used black liquid 

pearls applied around the cake and the gold liquid pearls are applied

 to the chain that links to the clock.

Vintage Floral Doll

Good Day All,

Today showing you a tag I created using a few ribbons from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store.   I used Cotton Blend Vintage Pink Floral , used two different seam binding colors Vivid Pink & Moss, used one of the pink ribbons from the Diamond Satin Assortment Pretty Pink, and Arianna Natural Crochet Lace.  I also used Wild Orchid Craft Trellis Roses Mixed Pink Tones. 

Well here is the 1st step I did, I took my Julie Nutting Stamp using tuxedo black momento ink and stamped it on the Cotton Blend Vintage Pink Floral. Then I fussy cut the dress out from the ribbon.

Here is a close up of the JN Doll with the Cotton Blend Vintage Pink Floral. 

I glued it down to the JN Doll, added some tiny pearls to the dress and to the doll's 

neckline for a necklace and colored the bottom of the dress, and used glossy accents

on the hairband and the bottom of the dress. 

Here is the Tag. I really had fun creating this tag and using so many assorted ribbons 

from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. I also created a little tag on the very bottom 

using one of the pink ribbons from the Diamond Satin Assortment Pretty Pink. I used a brad 

to attach it to the small tag and I created the little envelope for it to fit into so it pulls out. 

I used the Arianna Natural Crochet Lace at the top of tag and layered it up at the bottom.

The seam binding Vivid Pink & Moss are tied together at the very top, I really like how 

the pink and moss look together it's just so pretty. 

Here is a close up of the beautiful Trellis Roses I used, I just love these roses. 

Aren't they just stunning, especially used with the Arianna Lace. I created the rosettes 

first using a needle and thread, then glued my roses on top of them. I thought it

was a great addition to the vintage look I was going for using the Graphic 45 paper. 

 Here are two more flower rosettes using the beautiful Arianna lace rosettes I created.

And I glued the roses on top of the rosettes.  You can also see how doubled the lace up

on the bottom, below the roses. 

Supplies:

Really Reasonable Ribbons.:  Cotton Blend Vintage Pink Floral , used two different seam binding colors Vivid Pink & Moss, used one of the pink ribbons from the Diamond Satin Assortment Pretty Pink; Arianna Natural Crochet Lace;  Wild Orchid Craft Trellis Roses Mixed Pink Tones.

Flowers in my Basket

Hi All,

Hey y'all I wanted to share this tag I made with the New Authentique Felicity Collection. Just turned out so pretty. Don't you just love when you have a vision of something and it turns out just as you expected. Well that's what happened with this beautiful tag. :D

I traced one of the large tags I had on hand and then cut out my Authentique Felicity paper. I used Felicity papers 3, 4 and 6. Using Tim Holtz vintage photo ink around the papers.

Well lets get into what I did -

I made a black bow out of the seambinding Tamra sent me from her shop. 

I sprayed BoBunny Gold Glimmer Spray all over my tag before 

I layered it with my embellishments. I cut apart the black licorice from 

BoBunny Jewels and spread around the tag. The tag in the middle says  

"You are the flower in my Basket" is on the little tag images from the cut 

apart sheets, isn't it just gorgeous. 

Close Up of the Top of the Tag.

See the Sentiment I adhered - Well that is from the top of the sheets of

every paper within the collection. I thought that was a beautiful 

saying so I cut it out and distressed it, crinkled it and inked it. 

Close Up of that Gorgeous Butterfly from Tamra's store

Country Craft Creations.

Here is another Close Up of the middle of the Tag. 

With the Prima Flowers I used some blue paint I had in my stash

to paint the middle of the flowers. 

I used the BoBunny Gold Pearlescent on the stamens, then I sprayed 

the flowers with the BoBunny Gold Glimmer Spray. 

You can see the black jewels I cut apart and put a single gem 

up in the corner and lower corner of the cut apart image.

 Here on the lace I sprayed with the BoBunny Gold Glimmer Spray

let it dry and then I used BoBunny Gold Pearlescent to make little 

tiny dots along the edge of the lace and larger dots in the middle

of the lace. 

Supplies:

All from CountryCraftCreations - Authentique - Felicity, Prima Flowers, Flat Scallop Crochet Lace, Seambinding, Butterfly Charm; Bo Bunny Gold GlimmerSpray, BoBunnyGold Pearlescente, BoBunny Licorice Jewels 

From My Stash:

Inks - TH - vintage photo; blue paint

I hope you all enjoyed the photos of my Vintage Tag I made with Beautiful Authentique Felicity Paper Collection. If you like any of the items I used please click on the names in the supply list and you will be directed to the Country Craft Creations Store.
