Love Birds Tags

Hey! Hey! Happy Thursday! Today, I'm going to share some tags that I made using a new (to me at least) stamp set that I purchased at Tuesday Morning.

I decided that I wanted to experiment a bit with some of the pink inks that I have as well as use my Ranger ink in Black Jet. So I chose to test them out on some tags rather than risk wasting any larger sized paper. I'm definitely still learning about which inks work with different types of paper. I'm still loving my Ranger ink as well as my StazOn ink (not used or pictured in this photo and experiment). 

To make these tags, I just put some washi tape down and then cut the excess off. Then I stamped the little birds. To complete the look, I just added a heart at the top, but I used different colors and inks for the heart. I really like how the black ink looks and I also like the middle card that is on the bottom. 

Supplies:

• Manila Tags
• Hampton Art Stamp Set
• Ranger Ink-Jet Black
• Heidi Swapp Dye Ink- Pink
• Freckled Fawn washi tape
• Hero Arts Ink

These tags were very easy to make and I plan on experimenting more with my other inks soon.

You Are One in A Million Project Life Card

Hello! A few weeks ago, I made a Project Life card using a few supplies and mentioned in the blog post that I would be making a few more. You can check out that blog post here. Today, I want to share another card that I made.

I used most of the same supplies that was used to make my "Dream" project life card, but I did add a few different pieces. I used my Tombow Xtreme Adhesive to adhere the paper to the wood veneer piece. Then I started adding the embellishments. I really love the "You Are One in A Million" flair and the "Dream Big" epoxy label.

Random Tip:

I had those DCWV Inc. epoxy labels for a while and when I tried to take the labels off the sheet, the adhesive on some of the labels were no longer sticky or the paper on the back kept ripping. At first, I thought that I would have to toss the labels, but I was able to make them work by using my Tombow adhesive. So if you come across some stickers or labels that are either not sticking or the paper is tearing try using some adhesive like a glue runner.

Supplies Used:

• Heidi Swapp 6x6 Paper Pad
• DCWV Inc. Epoxy Labels
• Freckled Fawn Woodland Kit-White Puffy Stickers
• Freckled Fawn 2015 Kit-Flair

Dream Project Life Card

Hey! Hey! Happy Monday! Today, I want to share a Project Life card that I made using a wood veneer and some September Skies paper designed by Heidi Swapp. Sorry in advance for the picture. I tried taking several pictures and it just was not coming out the way I wanted it to.

I was a bit hesitant to use the wood veneer piece because I had no idea what I wanted to use it on. I'm used to using smaller wood veneers and not large ones. I was going to use it in a layout, but decided that it would be perfect as a project life card. I also knew that I wanted to use the constellation paper from Heidi Swapp's September Skies paper pad. I adhered the wood veneer to the paper and then trimmed the excess paper. Then I added some small embellishments like the "dream" foam word and the heart foam pieces. Then I added some ferns and a few puffy stickers.

Overall, I really love how the card came out. I'm glad that I decided to try something new and I definitely plan to do this more often.

Supplies Used:

• October 2015 Freckled Fawn Kit-Foam Words and wood chip
• October 2014 Freckled Fawn Kit-Puffy stickers and Metal ferns
• September Skies 6x6 Paper Pad-Constellation paper

Think Happy Thoughts Card

Hello! Today, I want to share another card that I made and submitted to Paper Issues Fall Crop on their Facebook page, Paper Issues {Friends & Fans}. I submitted this card to A Flair for Buttons challenge. For this challenge, participants were asked to use flair on any project.

To make this card, I grabbed a sheet from Heidi Swapp's September Skies 6x6 paper pad and adhered it to the card base. Then I found an adorable pocket page card from Me & My Big Ideas and adhered it onto the card. I added a badge from Studio Calico. The badge says "It's gonna be ok". The pocket page and the sheet from the paper pad goes so well together. I love how colorful it is.

Supplies Used:

• Me & My Big Ideas-Think Happy Thoughts
• Studio Calico badges
• Heidi Swapp September Skies 6x6 paper pad

Fall Harvest Card

Hello! As you know, a few days ago Paper Issues held their Fall Crop on their Facebook page, Paper Issues {Friends & Fans}. I made several cards, layouts, and art journal pages for several challenges. You can check out the three cards I made for three different challenges here. I submitted this card to Dona's Orange Challenge.

I was inspired to make this card after seeing a card that a woman made using a grid. I thought it was so cool how she stitched the grid. I decided to just use my Sharpie Fine Liner pen and a ruler to create the grid. It didn't come out perfect, but I decided to not let this card go to waste. Then I took my Heidi Swapp color shine (in mustard) and added some splatters onto the card. After the color shine dried, I added some enamel dots first and then the wood buttons since they had adhesive on them already. I added the pinwheel sticker and then used my Tombow adhesive to adhere my wood veneers onto the card. This card did not take very long to make and I definitely plan to make more cards similar to this one.

Supplies Used:

• Heidi Swapp Color Shine-Mustard

• Recollections Dimensional Stickers

• Imaginisce Wood Buttons

• Recollections Wood Veneers

• Recollections Halloween Enamel Dots

• Foam dots

• Tombow Xtreme Adhesive
