Labels Eight Spellbinders Nestabilities Die – Me And My Daily Papercraft

Cre8tive Hands Friends Blog Challenge – Gift Tag

I haven’t used digi images for my cards before – only stamps, so it is taking a little bit of time getting used to them and coming up with ideas for them…but it’s very very exciting to try something new…

The best part is that the size of the images can be increased or decreased to suit your project and not the other way around….and that is exactly what I did for today’s project that I have made for the latest Cre8tive Hands Friends Blog Challenge….

I’m sharing a tag today….the white cardstock base of the tag has been die cut using the largest Labels Eight Spellbinders die and I have used a stencil and distress inks to create the background for it…at the top I have used two circle punches to create the circles to fit around the hole of the tag…this also prevents the ribbon from ripping the paper….

I have printed out the digi and die cut it using a much smaller one of the Labels Eight die and the coloured it in using markers and distress inks…I have used adhesive foam underneath the digi before placing it on the tag to give it a bit of a dimension…Finally I have stamped the sentiment above the digi….

Post#135 Merry Christmas Green & Red Shaker Card

I made this shaker card using the WRMK fuse tool and a photo pocket…the card is not bulky at all which means that it can be posted normally with no extra postage or special packaging..

I started with a piece of green cardstock 5×12″ and scored the long side at 4″ and 8″….this is so that one section gets folded in to create the backing section for the shaker pocket….which also means that the section between the two score lines would be the front of the card and had to be die cut for the shaker to show through….I also die cut and embossed a thin frame from red card stock to go around the die cut space…

Once the shaker pocket was filled with sequins,I stamped an image of a scarecrow with white ink and attached the pocket at the back of the die cut space and glued in the backing section of the card….all that was left was to attach the stamped sentiment and the card was ready…
