Tag You're It Challenge #52

Busy week, getting back from vacation...laundry, yard work, and generally lots to do! Always fun to go on vacation, but good to come home as well. Thanks husband for organizing a great vacation!

We have another challenge going on over at Tag You're It! Come on over and join us.  If you win this challenge, you will have the opportunity to create the inspiration tag for a future challenge!

For this challenge, Amy Tsuruta, winner of a previous challenge, has created this fun inspiration tag. Such a cute tag.  For this challenge tag, I was inspired by the flowers and the little bit of bling Amy added to the top of the tag.  Also, I don't typically add a tag to a card, so I was inspired by that as well.

Here's my take on the challenge...

Okay, I remade this tag three times.  The first time, I added all of my sequins to the bottom of the tag---didn't like that.  I then remade the tag as it looks here, but there I somehow got a huge stain on it...probably from the chocolate chip cookie I was eating :)

Super simple tag, using my favorite flower stamp set from Simon Says Stamps.  I then added the sentiment on the top.  I popped up the tag on foam tape and added it to the striped paper.

As a final touch, I added a bit of sequins for the bling!

Tag You're It Challenge #44

Today is a busy day, we are preparing for a wedding for two of our friends.  Pretty exciting and we just love attending weddings always super fun!




We are starting a new challenge over at Tag You're It.  Here is the inspiration from Nancy.  A bright and fun tag full of color flowers and a spring umbrella.  Just love this tag.


Here is my take on the inspiration.  While I love Nancy's umbrella, I don't have any umbrella stamps or dies, so I focused on the flowers and and spring colors!









This is a super easy tag to make.  I started by die cutting my tag.  then I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment.  I then pulled out some spring colors---yellow and pink and stamped some flowers.

I filled in the empty space with green leaves and that was it!  Pretty simple!









Supplies:

• Neenah Solar White Card Stock
• My Favorite Things:  Tag Dies
• Simon Says Stamps:  Flower Stamp
• Avery Elle Pigment Ink
• Versafine Ink
• Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder

Birthday Challenge

It is pouring rain here today so all outdoor activities are at a standstill, which for me is challenging! The good news is we need the rain and the forecast for tomorrow seems to be better! And this gives me a bit more creative time.

I've decided to enter into the Seize the Birthday Challenge! I have several friends with birthdays coming up so this is perfect timing.  

Here's what I came up with...

This is a bit of a different style for me. I usually like to stamp images and color them or paper piece them.  

For this card, everything is stamped on directly--no coloring!

I heat embossed the image and stamped these pretty flowers around it. I even decorated the envelop with the same colors and flowers (but forgot to take the picture before giving it to the postal carrier)!

A super fun, and fast, card to make!

Supplies:

• Neenah Solar White Card Stock
