Butterfly Tag

It only took three days to make my project this time!! I had a couple of new butterfly dies I was wanting to play with and this is what I came up with. While sorting through my dsp, I came across some papers in shades of pinks and grays and even though those papers did not end up on my tag, they were definitely the inspiration for it. The butterfly dies are by Cherry Lynn Designs. The rest is an assortment of items from the scrap pile and neglected embellishments.
 The dark gray flower was made using the newest flower punch from SU! I punched a couple of the flowers and then ran them through the paper crimper a couple of times and them wadded them up. I then opened them and separated the layers and stacked them up, securing them with a big pink blingy brad from Hobby Lobby. I used graphite Glimmer Mist on the flower to give it some shimmer.
 The papers for the tag are all torn, inked, and dry embossed. The ribbons and fibers are all from the scrap jar. I even managed to use some of my hoarded Hodgepodge Hardware!
I'm rather pleased with how this turned out and hope you like it, too!

TS Monday Challenge

It's another Monday and don't we really need something to make things a little more bearable? How about joining in with all the cool stuff happening over at Totally Stampalicioius? They are still taking entries for the awesome blog candy they are going to give away in April. There's a photo over on my sidebar, but they have added the most awesome packaging made by our very own Monique. There's a photo of it on the TS blog.
They are still looking for some guest designers for the upcoming release. You are going to flip over the new images coming soon!! All the deets about how to become a guest designer on the the TS blog also.
Now, on to my card and this week's challenge....
The challenge was to use a Totally Stampalicious image on your card or project. What?????? You don't own a TS image?????? Well, Becky and Joycelyn have a solution for you! If you hop over to the TS blog, you can grab a digi image from the latest release, Coffee Brawd, for FREE!! See? I told you there was a lot going on this week!!

I made a double pocket card using the tutorial from Splitcoaststampers. This was super easy to make using a 12 x12 piece of double sided dsp. I used SU!'s Tea Party dsp. The card stock is So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Wild Wasabi. The images are the digital versions and were printed on GP white card stock and colored with Copic markers.
I used some Nestabilities circle dies to make my sentiment layer on the front. A Martha Stewart border punch was used to make the pink trim across the front. Lots of little blingies added to the centers of the flowers and another to the center of the bow.

The tags were cut using my trusty old Coluzzle. I love this old cutting system and don't think I'll ever give it up! These tags are among my favorite templates. My favorite part of this card is the fuzzy robe I made for Coffee Brawd. I used some of the new ultra fine Flower Soft to make it fuzzy and it turned out so cool! Here's a closer look...

This was so easy to do. Just put a little mono adhesive all over the robe and slippers and poured the Flower Soft over it. Push it down a little and shake off the excess.
Thanks for stopping in and I hope you have an awesome day!!

Snowglobe Snowman Tag

It took me all week to get this done. Grabbed a few minutes of play time here and there. Then it took forever to get a picture. Between the dome and the glitter, it was eeally difficult to get a shot without getting so much glare the image was unseeable.

Anyway, the cute little snowman is from one of the newly released sets from Totally Stampalicious. This set is called Snowmen and has two different snowman images, accessories and lots of cute little sentiments. I colored my image with Copic markers and cut him out. I picked up the little ttreat box at my local scrapbook and stamping store, Priceless Scrapbooks. The papers are from an older set of Basic Gray Christmas papers. I used the page of punched tags for the main part of the tag. I mounted it on Ruby Red cardstock after cutting a circle with my Coluzzle. The image is popped up on dimentsionals inside the dome. I added Polar White Flower Soft and chunky glitter to the dome. After putting it all together I added some more little tags, and some glittered up foam snowflakes. Added a little extra chucky glitter on some of the snowflakes on the papers. The Merry Christmas sentiment is a Michael's dollar stamp that I've had for ages. One of my favorite Christmas sentiment stamps....love the font!

The ribbons are a mixture of silver, icey blue and a bit of silver cord. The red meshy ribbon is thanks to one of my best stamping buds, Bonnie!! Thanks, Bonnie, and to Carl, too. It is made from drywall tape that was spraypainted to give it color. I cut it into thin strips and added it to my bow for a splash of color.

Well, that's about all my creating for this week. Maybe I'll get some stamping time in this weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!
