Thinking of You :: Stephanie Washburn


Happy New Year's Eve!
 
I don't know about you, but I'm ready to move away from the holiday projects for a little while... haha! I had so much fun working on something that wasn't red and green!
 
It's always great to have cards like this one on hand to send out to friend- I like to keep a little basket with "thinking of you," "hello," "get well," and "missing you" cards in case I never need or want to send them out quickly!
 
I used the bold sentiment from Growth as the focal image of this card. I really love how the MSS background stamps easily dress up card elements, too! Check out how I used Funky Herringbone layered behind the sentiment panel to really draw attention to the sentiment. LOVE this background.
 
 
I'd love for you to stop by my blog
for more information about this card!
 
Have a happy New Year, everyone! Be safe and have fun tonight! :)

Happy, happy birthday! :: Brenda Weaver

 
Everyone ready to start this week?
I know I'm moving a little slow this morning, but I am ready to hop back into a routine!
 
We're here this morning with a super COOL card from Brenda Weaver!

 
Love the retro feel of this card- that herringbone (Funky Herringbone) pattern really takes center stage! The sentiment is from the super useful Simple Salutations set!

Comfort & Joy :: Jen del Muro

 
Good morning!
 
I hope everyone had a great weekend!
 
We have some VERY pretty tags to share with you today from Jen del Muro!
 
 
I love how she combined a traditional color scheme and a traditional sentiment (Comfort & Joy from Essential Holiday Elegance) with the much less traditional Funky Herringbone background! It looks awesome!
 
Run over and check out Jen's blog
to see more about these amazing tags!
 
 
Have a great day! :)

Tutorial- Fall Feather Tag :: Tifany DeGough

Hello there and happy fall to you!

It's Tifany here and today I'd like to share a little tutorial for creating a Fall Feather Tag using some stamps from Market Street Stamps and a canvas tag. 

First, let's gather our supplies from the Marketplace:

And from our craft stash:
  • Mists
  • Dye Inks
We'll start by stamping the Funky Herringbone Background Stamp on the tag in a light fall color. 
These big canvas tags work wonderfully with the large background stamps from Market Street Stamps. I chose to only stamp it once (so it covers the large base area of the tag and leaves an empty space at the top). If you don't like that look, you can stamp it twice for full coverage (or use one of the mini canvas shapes for full coverage in one impression).
When stamping on canvas you should realize that there are most likely going to be imperfections in the stamping. I think this adds character - but if you can't handle imperfections in your stamping then you can just give this a whirl on a paper tag. ;o)
Next we will give the tag an ombré effect with various mists. For this project I suggest choosing light colored mists in a similar color family/palette. I've chosen three fall-friendly mists that will blend well into each other.
Tip: Always mist on a protected surface. You will have overspray...so unless you want that counter or table misted, cover it up with something like scrap cardboard. 
Stamp the beautiful feather from the new Wild Market Mini with a dark ink. (I'm using a permanent black ink.) 
Stamp it several times varying the positioning. I've grouped it into two clusters, but I also think this would look great randomly stamped all over the entire tag. 
When stamping off the edge of the tag, be sure you are protecting your stamping surface...although I can't deny that a feather stamped desk might just be beautiful. :o)
Finish off your tag with some twine, ribbon, or other embellishments.
This tag would be great to tie onto a big fall gift basket and I also think it would be lovely to create two of these and use them for mini album covers.
What would you use this tag for?
