Lots Of Layers Card

2nd Jul 2016Tagged Bakers Twine, Banner punch, Button, Handmade card, Printed Double Side Paper, Sentiment Stamp, Sequin Dies, Speech Bubble Die, Vellum PaperLeave a comment

Today’s card has been inspired by a scrapbook layout I did a while back…I don’t usually add this many layers in my cards but I do like to try different things once in a while…

The card base is plain white but I have cut the striped top layer the same size as the card front….the polka dot layer above is smaller and I have adhered it at an angle….on the top white layer I have die cut two speech bubbles and added vellum paper behind it before adding yet another heart print and then stamped the sentiments on the vellum…

I the cut out four strips of paper in various widths and lengths and used my banner punch to create banners before adhering those to the card….finally I added a button with bakers twine and a few die cut sequins to decorate the card…

Thanks for stopping by today….Have a happy and blessed day ahead…

Post#181 Large Gift Bag

I love how this gift bag turned out so I’m really happy to share this with you today….

I have followed the tutorial by the fabulous Sam Donald and made this gift bag…It’s a huge one and can hold heaps of stuff….Here’s the link for her tutorial – It’s My Party Huge Bag

Now I had to change the top folding part in the video….and that was because Sam has used a double sided paper which looks really pretty when folded out at the top….but I’ve used one sided printed paper and didn’t want the plain white to show outside….so I’ve simply skipped that step, and folded the top part downwards and tied a string around it…

I have used two shades of green cardstock for the front panel….the top panel has a gold heat embossed message….and to decorate the panel I have punched out and adhered three small flowers from peach cardstock…

Hope you like my version of the bag…

Post#90 London Tags using Stampers Anonymous Cityscapes Set

21st Oct 2015Tagged Bakers Twine, Chevron Die, Handmade Tags, Peerless Watercolors, Ribbon, Sentiment Stamp, Tag die, Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Cityscapes Stamp setLeave a comment

Today I am sharing two tags I made using the cityscapes stamp set….For this project I used the London cityscape stamp…

After die cutting the tags I coloured in the base section with Peerless watercolors…once that was dry I stamped a section of the stamp on both tags…

For one tag I die cut chevron pieces in blue,red and white inspired by the colours of the Union Jack…and I think the word and meaning stamp of “journey’ goes well with it…the red and blue ribbons add the finishing touch to the tag…

For the second tag I simply stamped the word ‘Many Thanks’ and threaded a ribbon through…I also tied a bakers twine on the ribbon…I decided not to add any embellishments on this tag…

Hope you liked these…

Post#79 Love You Glitter Tag

5th Oct 2015Tagged Bakers Twine, Glitter, Handmade Tag, Heart Punch, Heart Stamp, Large Tag Die, RibbonLeave a comment

I try out quite a few things/ideas all the time….some turn out perfect or quite good….some go straight into the bin ..while some turn out somewhere in the middle….but I learn something new every single time…..like this tag that I’m sharing with you today… 🙂

My aim was to create a die cut word tag and the use glitter to fill in the negative spaces….So I die cut the words love & you on a large tag…then put double sided tape on the back of the tag…then I attached a slightly smaller tag at the back…Now I had to add glitter on the words and press them down so quite a lot of it stick onto the tape and create the glitter effect words on the tag…

Now here is what I learnt…for this technique one should always use superfine glitter as quite a lot of it would stick onto the tape…unlike the not-so-fine glitter that I used…it still turned out quite nice…

Jennifer McGuire has quite a lot of excellent tutorials on using glitter with dies etc…Once I am able to get the right kind of glitter I plan to go through her tutorials again…

I stamped a hearts border stamp on the top section of the stamp and added ribbons to finish the tag…

Hope you liked it…

Post#51 Shaker Bookmarks

Now that I have successfully tried out the WRMK photo sleeve fuse tool to make a tag, I tried to make a bookmark….bookmarks need to be quite flat and not bulky at all so I had to be careful about not adding any layers on the bookmark and also that the filling in the shaker pocket is quite flat and does not poke out to damage the pages of the book….

I took a narrow and long piece of paper to start with and folded it in half….then die cut a shape through both the layers…The plastic pocket sits between these two layers……I filled one of the bookmarks pocket with plastic flowers and the other with punched out 1/4″ circles from paper in various colours…

One of the bookmarks has a few beads on a ribbon attached to the top and the other has a tassel that I made out of bakers twine…

I wonder what else I can try out with the fuse tool….

Hope you liked these bookmarks…

Post#19 Tag Card – Yellow Hello

26th Jul 2015Tagged Bakers Twine, Handmade card, Hello Word Die, Kraft cardstock, Printed Paper, sequins, Tag dieLeave a comment

Sometimes,a simple hello from someone you haven’t heard from in a while makes you feel happy….and special…and thought about…

This card is made on a Kraft card base….and a yellow and white printed paper as top layer….I die cut two fishtail shaped tags in plain yellow and white….and on the top tag I attached a colourful Hello die cut word….to attach the tags to each other I used a bit of thick yellow bakers twine…and a few golden sequins here and there to finish the card…

Hope you liked it.
