Let's Do Lunch

Love this stamp! Here's a tag I made for a recent challenge.

Playing around with embossing folders.

Here are a couple of tags I made with the gear embossing folder. I just can't get over the difference in how deep the Vagabond embosses using my Cuttlebug folders.

I am having a lot of fun with Graphic 45's papers too. I used these two tags for a couple of entries into a challenge involving embossing. Three shades of distress ink were used for the background.

"Happy Birthday" Tag

This week's challenge over at Tag, You're It is to make a "Happy Birthday" tag. I had a lot of fun making this simple tag, and I got to try something new, recycle something, and use my Copic markers.

The something new was glue rubons with a powdery coated sheet. That is how I did the party hat, candles, and Happy Birthday.
The recycled item was packaging from some paper craft item. I used the backing paper to make the petals of my flowers.
I used my Copic markers on the tiny butterfly. (To give you some idea of scale, the brads in the flowers above the butterfly are mini brads.)
I cut my butterfly out with my KNK. It was a large pattern, and I scaled it down to 1".

It's All About the Party

This week's theme at Tag, You're It is tea time.

I remember how fun it was to have a tea party when I was a child. It really did not matter if it was tea or water, it was all about having the party.

I Made 10 cards on World Card Making Day

I created 10 cards yesterday on World Card Making Day. All of them have been entered in some sort of challenge, so I can not show them to you until after the challenges end. Instead here is a photo of a Halloween library pocket and tag.
