Made with Love

Happy Tuesday!!!
Today is Tag It Tuesday on the MCT blog. I made some quick mason jar tags for a friend who bakes a lot. She love to share her treats with co-workers and friends and so I thought it would be nice for her to have some tags to attach to her treats.

I used the mason jar die and stamp from the My Thoughts Are With You Stamp Set, then I used the "made with love" stamp from the All Around Goodies Stamp Set, and the largest heart die from the Believe In Your Dreams Stamp Set.

Birthday Fishy Treat

Happy Wednesday!!!

I made this treat for a friend's dad, for his birthday. He loves to fish and so I thought this would be a fun little treat for him. 

I used the base of treat slider box and filled it with some crimped blue paper and 8 Swedish Fish. I slid it into a 2.25"x 9"pretzel bag and tied with with some twine. I made the tag with the Stitched Decorative Banner Dies and a sentiment from the You're A Great Catch Stamp Set.

Happy Birthday

Happy Tuesday!!!
Today is favorite stamp/die of the month over on the MCT blog. This month we are featuring the Springtime In Paris Stamp Set. I made a shaker card for a friend, for her birthday.

I used the  Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More and an oval from the Scalloped Stitched Oval Dies for the base pieces. The Effiel Tower and sentiment are from the Springtime In Paris Stamp Set the banner is from the The Sky is the Limit Stamp Set. Both the tower and banner are heat embossed. I prefer the look of white heat embossing over white ink.

Bugs & Kisses

Happy Monday!!!

Today is Made in Minute's Monday on the MCT blog. I made a quick card to send to a friend who needs a lift. 

I cut the tag out of water color paper, stamped my images with versafine ink and then sealed with with clear embossing powder. Then I used my Zig Clean Color Markers to color in my scene. Then I wrapped the tag with a bit of twine and attached it to the card. I stamped and sealed the sentiment the same way I did the flower/lady bug scene.

Crazy About You!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Today is stamp of the month "redux" on the My Creative Time blog. This months stamp of the month is the Bracket Sentiments Stamp Set.  I've always loved this card that Emma made, so I chose to use it as my "redux" inspiration.

I've always loved this heart paper, so I used it for the top layer. The diagonal stripe background paper was from the same pad. I used the smallest rectangle in the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More set for the heart piece. I had to change up the design a bit to make it fit, but I really like how it tuned out. I added some clear seed beads and iridescent heart glitter to the shaker part. I stamped it with the same sentiment and of course I had to add a bit of twine.

Scrap the Little Things

Happy Monday
Today is Scrapping the Little Things over on the MCT blog. I have another quick mini spread to share with you today. I really love the smaller 4x4 albums. They're perfect for me. I can quickly scrap a picture or two, journal, place them in the page protectors, and I'm done. I've always been a fan of the 8x8 albums, but I've been falling further and further behind with my pictures. Since buying these 4x4 albums, I've been able to stay up to date. Woohoo!
