.  Below are some tags from the Design Team I hope will inspire you.

The background of my tag is a SPARK a paper that was sent to inspire.  My McMahon Five digital is an image of an orange with a verse of inspiration from the Bible.  The oranges I colored with Copics seem to have a reddish color in my scan, but they really are more orange.  This is one of a set I bought from Sue of McMahon Five quite a while back.  I plan to also make a set of note cards with these images.

Michele

To create my dreamy feeling week two tag creation I started with the "rainbow" digital background sheet by McMahon Five.  I colored the "butterfly child" digi, also by our challenge sponsor, with promarkers.  I added a tissue paper heart, flower, and brad, and a vine cut out of designer origami paper.  Enjoy, have a great week and I hope you join the tag challenge!

 My tag, this week is mounted onto a card.  I just love the McMahon Five Design image and sentiment.  After printing it I cut it into a tag and colored it with Prisma colored pencils and Gelatoes.  The tag was mounted three times on coordinating c.s. and the mounted onto a dry embossed panel, then a black panel and then onto the card. I added a grunge board swirl and tied it off with raffia

Sharon

I've made a collection of little tags using collage images and stamps on some beautiful quality paper

Yvonne

The main image on this tag is one from our sponsor for this challenge. Other additions came from my stash.

 

Petra

It is Summer! And beach time! I created this little beach tag with our sponsor's digital images adding just a little bit of sparkle and a very sparkly sunflower.

 

Rene

The lovely image from the sponsor is perfect for a quick tag or bookmark. I lightly coloured some spots with pastels, then added two larger coordinating tags. Cotton threads in the same fresh summer colours finish off this quick project, perfect for a last minute gift!

Barb

I thought this sea turtle was just so cute, and the paper was also adorable both are from McMahon Five The sentiment was also from the same place. I coloured the sea turtle with pencil crayons and odourless mineral spirits. The Tim Holtz tag and bookplates was used in cutting both the printed paper and the base. The second tag is from a Sizzix scallop tag #2. Hope you join us for the second week of the challenge.

 

McMahon Five is my sponsor for this challenge.  Please visit her site and look at all the wonderful images Sue has to offer.  My sponsors so graciously agree to sponsor my challenge so I urge you to go and patronize them from time to time.

 

 

Challenge #65 - "Make a Tag"

Summer is really flying by and school will be starting soon.  I am sure everyone is trying to get ready for school so we have a very easy challenge this time.  Just make a tag...no restrictions on size or shape....just so it looks like a tag.  Of course, we would love it if you used an image from McMahon Five, my sponsor this time.

Vicki

My tag uses a delightful image from McMahon Five.  I colored it with Copic markers.  The image was placed on a background  made from a napkin.  Various stickers were added to give it a beach theme..

Michele

This simple tag features the turtle background digital image from our challenge sponsor McMahon 5 and the digital beach girl with sand.  I added a sentiment from my stash.  It feels great to continue celebrating summer!  I hope you will join the challenge.

I chose the flip flop background paper from McMahon Five Designs for my tag this week.  I then enlarge the print and trimmed out the blue flip flops.  The edge of the tag and flip flops are distressed with blue ink.  I added TH die cut flowers, with a pink rhinestone flower in the centers.  Sticker for the letters and a "fun in the sun" stamp from the $$store.  The lower edge has gold embossing powder and real small shells.

Rene

For my tag I used background papers, an image & sentiment from our sponsor!

I love the bright colours and repeated them in the cottons I tied on the tag.

Barb

I chose this cute boy image playing in the sand, the background paper is also from McMahon, I cut the tag with my Tim Holtz Tags and Bookplates Movers and shapers die, I trimmed it a little.  I layered it on turquoise which I also cut from the tag die. The sentimet also came from the same site, I was excited as I love the Beatles and have a few of their CDs.  One day I will remember to bring accessories with me to the cottage, fortunately I had left a ball of yarn and I used it  for the "tail" on the tag

I am excited to have McMahon Five as my  sponsor for the next two weeks.  Sue has some really cute images and she is known for the beautiful cancer images.  These are amazing and are very appropriate to send to someone who is experiencing this disease.

Challenge # 19 -- A Special Reason

This is a chance to show some of your special cards.  The theme for the challenge for the next two weeks is  "A Special Reason".  What kind of cards can you make?  Here are some ideas - wedding, birth of baby, sympathy, graduation, words of encouragement, with a religious theme or anniversary.  This is just a few ideas, but please NO Birthdays.  I know birthdays are special, but we may be doing them later.

I am thrilled to announce that Our Daily Bread is the sponsor for this challenge.

Kellley at Our Daily Bread Designs started this company because she found that there were not many good choices of religious and spiritual stamps.

She designs and manufactures her own line of spiritual rubber stamps.   Our Daily Bread Designs also carries a wide variety of designer papers and products to assist you in your card making, scrapbooking and crafting.  You can find her site by clicking the logo above.

Now, look below at the samples of the Design Team.

I did not have any stamps from Our Daily Bread, but I have ordered some of their 3D sheets.  I put in my order too late to show them here, but I hope to later this week.   I can't wait to use them.  In the meantime my card  is  either a synpathy (which I have someone I need to send it to) or for someone who has been recently baptized. 

I decided to go with mainly black and white.  I feel that the black and white really shows up my main image better since it is colored with Copics.  The beautiful rose is from McMahon Five Designs.  The verse is  a d digital from Sweet and Sassy.

Before this challenge I had never used any stamps from Our Daily Bread but I checked out their website and ordered a set of stamps with quotes by Mother Teresa. I am inspired by Mother Teresa so I was delighted to receive this high quality stamp set which included several quotes and also a lotus flower stamp. My card is meant as an encouragement. I kept it very simple. I made my background by spritzing watercolor jewels by Stamp Zia. I got extra dimension by using a paper towel to dry the watercolors rather than letting them air dry. I colored the stamps with markers rather than ink so that I could use multiple colors on the flower. I affixed all of that to some nice textured card stock. We always need cards for special times -- I hope this challenge inspires many of you to get some special occasion cards made before you actually need them!

On Your Wedding Day

Being in the middle of making the wedding invitations for my daughter's wedding this year, it just had to be a card for a wedding! I layered an A6 vanilla coloured plain card with paper from Prima Marketing and Webster's Pages and attached the paper with some machine sewing to the base. Unfortuantely I cannot remember where the image is from, I had it in my stash like the piece of lace. For the heart I cut it from thick cardboard, covered it in VersaMagic ink, glitter glue and loose glitter. The words (stamps: Eline Pellinkhof) are stamped on little jewellery tags.

Barbara

New Baby

For my card I used Noah's Ark from Our Daily Bread Designs to create an card for a new baby. I stamped the image with Stazon on one side of a piece of acetate. Then I flipped the acetate over and painted it on the back with my Creative Inspirations Paints. When the paints were dry, I flipped back and stamped the sentiment on the front with Stazon. The panel behind the acetate was embossed on the top and on the bottom using two different embossing folders to give the look of clouds and water. The embossings were highlighted using perfect pearls. I connected the acetate to the back panel using small brads. This whole usit was adhered to the base card. I hope you join us in this challenge. Special occasion cards are always needed.
