Happy Bird-day Tag

It's a new challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms and Holly has asked us to create a project using twine, string or ribbon.

Having some amazing Twine in my craft room, I decided to create a birthday tag.  I die cut the bird cage from white cardstock then printed the Bird 2 Digital Stamp.  I colored the bird with Copic Markers, cut it out and placed it partially inside the cage.   I cut a mat for the cage and added brads to the bottomfor a little color. 

This ended up being the perfect sized tag.  I stamped the sentiment on a smaller tag and added some Twine and tied it to the top of the bird cage.

Don't forget to see what the other designers have created this week.

Supplies:

Digital Stamp:  CHF

Stamp: Justrite Stampers

Markers: Copic Markers

Die: Tim Holtz

Brads:  Basic Grey

Ink: Clearsnap

Twine: The Twinery

Thanks for stopping by today.

A strip of G45 paper was used as the backgound for my stamped image. The ribbon just added a nice touch of dimension.

Since I had room on the right side of the card, I added a sentiment stamped in Black Mix'd Media Inx and embossed.

One of the only photos I have of my mother's brother who served in North Africa during WW2. I loved the selection of papers and the Cricut cuts I used.

The title was cut with the Destinations cartridge and "North" was added on using the Jubilee cartridge. Various elements were cut from the pattern paper and matted to give them more dimension.

Thanks for looking.

Love

Kuretake/Zig is holding it's first challenge of 2012.

I love mixing and matching products and seeing the results of that. I used a Hero Arts stamp which I inked and embossed with Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx. I colored the flowers, leaves and bow with Zig Markers, then added some Clearsnap Smooch Glitz to the flowers for a little shimmer. I also added some Smooch Glitz to the vase.



I die cut the flowers with Spellbinders Circle Die and matted it with a Scalloped Circle Die. The sentiment stamp was colored with a Zig Scroll & Brush marker, then stamped onto white cardstock. A red Scroll & Brush Marker was used around the edges of the die cuts.

The mixing bowl was cut from the Basic Grey pattern paper and inked with brown ink. It was aligned so that the edges would be off the page. I created my journaling block and inserted that inside the mixing bowl. A rolling pin was cut at 3" from yellow cardstock and again from white and inked.

Authentique papers are very sturdy and can hold up to the whatever I create. I was lucky enough to work with the Splendid paper line this month. These shoes are always fun to make and this paperline was perfect to use. I love that the papers are doublesided because both sides are visable in my projects. I used my Scor-pal to get good crease lines so the shoes would stand up well. Add a quick and easy matching purse and the recipient is sure to be thrilled!! This purse is about 4" wide, but it's big enough to hold some candy, chapstick or even a gift card.



I wrapped up some candy kisses and placed them inside the shoes for a little something sweet for the recipient.

World's Greatest Mom

It's always Mother's Day when you have a wonderful Mom. Don't ever forget to let her know how much she means to you.

Using punch 311 and the Circle Punch, I created a doily for my sentiment, adding brads in the center of the punched pieces.



I cut a larger circle to mat my doily and help it stand out from the background.




Supplies:
Pattern paper: GCD Designs, PaperLoft
Punch, Circle Cutter: Kreaxions
Brads: Basic Grey
Ink: Clearsnap Chalk Ink

Dream

I altered these wooden letters with assorted pattern papers and assorted chipboard elements.

I traced the letters onto the back of assorted pattern papers and cut them out. I mixed and matched the colors and designs, tearing each piece for dimension. After adhering the papers, I chose elements I wanted to add about my dream for traveling.



All the chipboard elements were inked and added to the letters using my Xyron Sticker Maker and 5" Model. Rub-ons were then strategically placed, along with several stickers. Ribbon were tied as a finishing touch.


Supplies:
Pattern paper: MyMindsEye, Provocraft
Ink: Clearsnap
Chipboard Elements: Provocraft, Basic Grey
Rub-ons: Making Memories
Flowers: Prima
Wood letters
Adhesive:  Xyron Stickers Maker

Celebrate

Today's post at Justimagine - Kreaxions showcases the new punches we received.



Just adding a small border strip across the center of the card with punch # 310 gives a nice added detail that breaks up the pattern paper background. Any punch would do the same, however, I think this punch pattern is very similar to the pattern paper.

Enjoy.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Pattern paper: Basic Grey

Ink: Clearsnap

Merry Christmas Box

It's a double posting day for me. Be sure to check out the Clearsnap blog hop. Today, Scor-Pal is starting monthly challenges! On the first Monday of every month you'll be given a new challenge and there will be prizes!

Today's challenge is very easy.....we want you to make a BOX!




Starting with an 8"x8" piece of cardstock or heavy pattern paper, I scored the paper at 1", 3", 5" and 7". Then I turned the paper 90 degrees and scored again at 1", 3", 5" and 7". Once that is done, cut away all but the center square on each side.



Turn paper on an angle and score the corners diagonally, then fold on all score lines.



Add score tape to the 1" flaps. As you fold the box together, the flaps will fold inside to hold the box shape. Add a 1" strip of cardstock around the top of the box and the sentiment and you've got a cute little gift box to work with.




These little guys measure 2"x2", andd are so quick and easy to make. How about using them as table decorations for the upcoming holidays, filling them with candies or other little goodies for friends and family.

Supplies:
Score tool: Scor-pal
Pattern paper: Basic Grey
Ink: Clearsnap Destinations
Stamp: Hero Arts
Dies: Spellbinders, Nestabilities
Embossing Powder: Clearsnap

US - Clearsnap Color Challenge

It's time for another color challenge on the Clearsnap Blog . Using Deep Lagoon, Berrylicious from the "Big Top" ColorBox Fluid Chalk Ink Queue , I created this card.



I cut the card shape using my Cricut and Gypsy. The design was cut on white cardstock using the Damask cartridge. I then inked the design with Berrylicious, and used Butterscotch on the center. Thinking I'd make an anniversary card, I inked my chipboard letters with Berrylicious and Deep Lagoon, then added Clear Embossing Powder. I added the letters to the center of the card.



I cut a large circle for the inside and inked the edges with Deep Laggon. I also stamped "Happy Anniversary" in Deep Lagoon as the inside sentiment.


Supplies:
Ink: Clearsnap ColorBox Archival Dye Queue Deep Lagoon, Berrylicious, Butterscotch
Embossing Powder: Clear Top Boss Embossing Powder
Cardstock: Bazzill
Stamps: The Stamps of Life
