Twinkle Snowflakes Tag

It's a rainy day here in my neck of the woods.  Wish it was snow!  Anyway, I'm sharing a tag with snowflakes to get my snowy fix!

Using a tag I cut from a cereal box, I covered it with the beautiful papers from Stamperia's Blue Stars collection.  Lace trims from my stash were added at the bottom along with a few rhinestone accents.  The large snowflakes were a gift to me and the silver snowflakes were cut with a Cheery Lynn die.  There are also clear acrylic snowflakes on top of the silver snowflakes.  The adorable image is from the same Stamperia collection and I added Melissa Frances glass glitter to the edges.  It may be difficult to see but I added some Wink of Stella to the little girls's wings.  The "twinkle" diecut is Tim Holtz.  The tag was finished with seam binding and a hemp bow at the top.  The silver snowflake charm is also from Tim Holtz.

This  card was fun for me to make as it is filled with wintry goodness.  The Blue Stars paper collection has a wonderful assortment of images and pattern papers.

Well, that's it for me today.  I thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and for the kind comments you leave.  I seemed to have a problem with my post from last week showing up on Blogger so I hope today's post shows up in the feed.  Enjoy the week ahead!

Snowman Love

Hello there!  We started last week with a bit of snow and have ended the week with temperatures in the 50s.  What a weather cycle anymore!

The card I am sharing today was made for my parents for Christmas, particularly my mother who collects snowmen.  When I saw this sweet image and papers from the Maja Design "I Wish" collection, I knew it would be a perfect choice to make a card for them.

Beginning with a 5x5 white card base, I layered scraps from several of the papers.  Next came the beautiful Ice Crystal die by Amy Designs.  The beautiful flowers and the seam binding as well as the die are from Crafty City.  The other snowflakes tucked among the flowers are from my stash.  The sentiment stickers are Tim Holtz.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and your sweet comments.  I appreciate each and every one!  Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

Sweet Christmas Birthday Card

Hi everyone!  We've had another crazy weather week.  We started the week with snow and extreme cold.  By Friday, temperatures were in the 60s with heavy rain.  Yesterday, temperatures were back in the 30s. 

A good friend of mine has a Christmas birthday.  I decided to make her card using papers from Stamperia's Sweet Christmas line as they are so versatile for any occasion.  While this is a Christmas collection, as you can see, it can be used anytime.

Using a 5x5 white card base, I layered two sheets of pattern paper.  Foam tape added dimension.  The white lace diecuts at top and bottom are from Tim Holtz.  The sentiment label was cut from the papers and is set off by a Quinn Flourish Memory Box die which can be found at Crafty City.  The gorgeous flowers can also be found at Crafty City.  The pink trim, lace bow and pearls are from my stash.

I enjoyed making this card with this soft color palette.  That Tim Holtz lace edge die almost looks like an actual piece of lace. 

Thank you so much for taking time to stop by and visit.  I appreciate all your sweet comments.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a wonderful week ahead.

Kindness Can Change the World

Happy 2018, everyone!  Let's hope this year is much better than the last.  This first week of January brought us a significant snowfall along with extremely cold temperatures.  I was very happy to see the snow, especially watching it from the warmth and comfort of being indoors!

Today, I am sharing a new tag which, I think, the sentiment is a perfect theme for this new year--kindness can change the world.  When I saw this beautiful collection from Stamperia called "Blue Stars", I just had to have it.  And, of course, this particular sentiment just spoke to me.

The tag shape was cut from a cereal box and covered with the papers.  The edges were inked and distressed.  The frame die, which was a gift to me, is from Studio Light.  I used it to frame one of the journaling cards.  I cut a star shape from the collection, outlined it with Mercury Glass Stickles, and added it with a pop dot to the heart.  Cheesecloth was tucked under the frame.  The little girl was fussy cut from the papers and popped up with foam tape for dimension.  Isn't she so sweet?  Wink of Stella was applied to her crown and wings and a string of pearls attached to the base of the crown.  She is standing on a word tile surrounded by tiny flowers from Tim Holtz.  Lace, bead and rhinestone trims were placed across the bottom of the tag.  The wooden stars are from Recollections.  Liquid Pearls in Platinum were added here and there.  A piece of blue seam binding and white cording was tied to the top. 

I've made another tag from this collection which I will share another time.  Stamperia papers are a wonderful quality and the patterns are beautiful.  If you click on each photo, you can see the details better.

Well, that's it for me today.  I hope your new year is off to a good start and I wish you all good health and happiness.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I appreciate all your kind comments.
