Scraps and a Tag Card

  I love tags.  Tags to hang on things.  Tags as stand alone art.  Tags added to a card.  Today I am using more goodies from my scrap bin.

I stamped a tea stained tag with the owl from the Going Wild stamp set.

The little tiny heart is from the Heart-FULL Homes stamp set.

I cobbled some tiny colored paper strips out from the side of the tag and hand-lettered my sentiment.

I added a scrap of ribbon.

And used a brush to brush some color with Perfect Pearls along his feet.

What fun things can you make with some bits and scraps from your scrap box?

"Friends Forever" Friendship Card

Hi Crafty Friends!  Joyce Shaulis here today sharing a quick and easy friendship card with you using Susan K. Weckesser's fabulous ink, stamps, and scrapbook paper. 

This week I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the day with my two best friends that I've known since elementary school.  I won't tell you how many years that's been, but we did the math and it's a lot!!!  For this card, I used a photo of myself with my one friend from 1982.  I will be happy to send her this card as we cherish our years of memories. 

To start, I made a card using light yellow cardstock measuring 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" when folded.  Then, I cut a piece of the "Live in Color" scrapbook paper 5" x 4", using the green back side.  Then, I cut out two flowers from the same paper from the front. 

Next, I stamped with Mystery mini POP ink and quotes from the Insta-Cute stamp set onto yellow cardstock. I also stamped the framed image onto light yellow cardstock, also with Mystery.  Then I cut these images out and edged them with Mystery ink. 

I then edged the two flowers, the card, and the green background piece with Mystery ink. 

I copied my original photo and cut it to size to fit in the desired place.  I glued each layer down using mini glue dots.  I also cut tiny flowers from the "Live in Color" paper and edged them in Mystery.  I attached those with mini glue dots also.  I added an additional sentiment inside the card. 

 

 

 

Thank you for allowing me to share my friendship memory and card with you today.  Be sure to share a card, a call, or a special gift with a good friend today.  Friendships are a true treasure.

Wicked Little House

Hello friends. Larissa here and I am so excited to be serving a second year with Susan K Weckesser. This month our theme is Home Sweet Home challenging the creative team to use a house on their project.
With Halloween being a few weeks away I wanted to use a spooky house. So I stamped the house from The Happy Homestead  on a piece of watercolor paper. I used my Peerless watercolors to color it up.

I then found some Halloween theme pattern paper to use for the background paper. I also went through my die cut bucket where I keep a bunch of pre-cut dies and found a few ghosts and a tombstone. I also found a couple of pumpkins and a black cat. 

I adhered everything down on the pattern paper using liquid adhesive. I then adhered the card front to a orange cardbase.

I think this little house is going to be prefect for all seasons. Add a few gingerbread and gumdrops for an awesome Christmas house.

I hope you have a wonderful day friends. Make sure to check back with us because the new girls on the team are super awesome and they are going to have very cool projects to share with you.
