Fun with Tags.

As my readers probably already know, I LOVE making tags!

 

I've had some time recenlty to make some new tags to be added to homemade cookies or cakes.

I made a few sets to give my sister for Christmas along with a mixer and it was time to make some for my shop:

 

 

Since I couldn't decide if it was better in green or in red, I made a red set too:

 

Which one is best?

And this time there's the Italian version too!

The graphic is from Winchester Lambourne, isn't it gorgeous?

I Love Little Notebooks!

I've recently enjoyed myself creating some little notebooks, perfect to be tacked away in the bag or in the car.

 

I had already made a few but I wanted to make some more.

 

I reached for my patterned paper stash, for some die cuts and stamps and made these:

 

 

This one is probably my favourite, with this funny fish from Taws.

 

Then, one perfect for a little girl:

 

made with one of my stamps from There She Goes.

 

Something yummy for the food lover:

 

made with a cupcake die cut I had in my stash.

 

Then, the last one you may remember from some time ago:

 

made with a fawn (or deer?) die cut I bought somewhere around the web a long time ago.

 

I LOVE to see my collection on the desk this morning!

 

 

These notebooks are for sale in my Etsy shop. Please contact me if you need help in locating them.



Christmas Card Challenge # 16 - Photo Challenge.

Happy Spring!

 

Although it's not yet 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun shines and it seems it's going to be a beautiful day!

 

Here we are with a new Christmas Card Challenge and with a new photo inspiration:

 

 

In detail: kraft and white ornaments:

 

This is my card:

 

I chose a bright green card which I covered with a kraft cardstock with green dots from DCWV.

I then cut two ornaments with a Lawn Fawn dies from a cardstock by First Edition and added tiny rhinestones around the sentiment.

 

Although it's not my typical kind of card it's been funny to make it!

Around the World.

Good morning!

 

Today I'd like to show you one of my lastest creations with one of my favourite themes: travels!

 

This is the card:

 

 

I again reached for my Broken Box Stock file and found this lovely globe. I colored it with Copics, added papers from October Afternoon (Travel Girl) and a pretty clip to hold notes and sentiment.

 

I always dream of travelling somewhere when I make these cards!

He is Chef Pierre Platter from Bugaboo mounted on a plaque decorated with an old paper from Best Creation with a post-it pad glued next to him.

The Wedding Season is Fast Approaching.

Thinking about upcoming events, I realized that May is not too far and that it was a good thing to start making some new wedding cards.

 

The first is this one:

 

 

In my files she's called "the thin bride" because she's so thin and elegant but her "true" name is actually a bridesmaid: Bridesmaid Toodle from Broken Box.

I used to be in their DT and I enjoyed every minute of it. I still look through their image when I need to make a new card.

Their toodles are absolutely adorable and their brides are no exception!

 

I colored her with Copics and used two papers from DCWV as background. I then needed to add two tiny pearls as earrings!

 

This card is for the following challenges:

A Guest Designer Spot for Crafting by Designs.

Butterflies and Birthday.

I've been noticing that I often add butterflies to my cards.

 

Whether it's a children card or a more grown-up one, butterflies always help me adding little details and bring in lots of cheer.

 

I've found a digi stamp in my archive which has a girl and butterflies all in one image!

I couldn't keep myself from making a new card!

 

 

She's Butterfly Toodle from Broken Box Stock, colored with Copics and mounted on a background paper from Bella Blvd.

I couldn't add any additional butterfly around my toodle but I had plenty of space near the bow to add two die cuts I found in my stash!

 

A girly spring-y birthday!

Hello There!

I'm surrounded by unfinished projects... I'd like to make all the things I have in mind but (luckily?) custom orders force me to leave them aside and work on something else.

 

At least, I managed to finish one of the projects I had been working on recently.

I've tried to make some sneak peeks on Instagram of the coloring and creating process. Being a newbie, I wanted to learn a bit more about the way Instagram works and, thanks to my daughter, I've also found a way to add some details to my pics.

 

Anyway, here's my project:

 

 

These sweet gnomes are from MFT stamps and I've had them for a little while so time has come to make something out of them.

I've found these little signs/magnets in my stash and yes, they are perfect for the gnomes!

 

I covered each sign with a bright patterned paper from October Afternoon, I colored the gnomes with my Copics and assembled everything adding a small wording and, of course, two tiny pearls.

 

I love them! They talk about spring and garden time!

CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for March.

March already!

 

And here we are with our new CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for March!

 

As usual it's Anything Goes and as usual we are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.

 

Instead of making a card, this month I've opted for something different:

 

 

A recipe book!

I chose the adorable Chef Pierre - Test and colored him with Copics.

Background paper is from American Crafts.

I opted for a Christmas-sy palette of green and red which happens to be also the colors of our flags.

 

I love Chef Pierre! It's not my first creation with one of these digis and I always find him so cute!

 

We can't wait to see what you create for next Christmas!
