Tag Your It

This tag was made with an image from Clearly Vintage. The stamp on the back is from Hero Arts and the front is Invoke. I color the tag with Distress Stain and then stamped images. I then colored the details with Distress Inks. The lace is a vintage piece from my stash.

Spring Distress Inks

I received my new spring Distress Inks set from Marco Paper and boy were they worth the wait. The card below was made with Distress Inks and some Darcie's stamps.  The background is a Wendy Vechii stamp.

Experimenting With Dylusions Mists

On the weekend I experimented with some Dylusions Spray Mists. The stamps are Wendy Vechii.  The background stencil is Crafter's Workshop.

I put some washii paper tape on the edges.

Bookmark

This is a bookmark I made for my daughter. She is reading the 2nd book in the Hunger Games trilogy and I thought this sweet girl would be soothing when the book got too deep.

The stamp is Lost Coast. The stencil background is from Dylusions and sprayed with Pearl Mists,inked with Distress Inks. The two accent stripe are trimmed from the Mother's Day card I posted last week. I used Distress Inks to color everything except the leaves. I used my new Distress Markers for the leaves below.

This is the reverse side of the bookmark. The stamp is by Hero Arts.

Mother's Day is Sunday

Tommorow is Mother's Day. Which is always filled with fun and family. Here is another card I made. This card was made with Distress Markers and a Hero Arts stamp large flower background. I used a Dylusion stencil and some biscotti Pearl Mists to create the ghosted effect.

Red Hat Girl Clothespin Doll

A few months ago I discovered clothespin dolls.  They are simple dolls made from clothespins and wooden balls.  I use pipe cleaners covered with embroidery floss for the arms.  This is a doll I made.  The paint is by Martha Stewart and the accessories are from Hobby Lobby.

Vintage Button Hairpins

These are so much fun to make. I have been collecting vintage buttons for a while and this is the perfect way to use them. I carefully soaked the buttons first then slipped the buttons onto the hairpins and glued them into place with Ultimate glue. The card I placed the pins on is decorated with washi tape by MT and tissue tape by Tim Holtz. I colored the tissue tape with Distress Ink by ranger.

Cute Clothespin Doll

I made this clothespin doll last weekend.

Felted Ipod Cover

I found a great seller on Etsy,Larissa Holland of mmmcrafts. Larissa had several wonderful patterns for dolls and also a great pattern for a Gadget Cozy. I have made two so far. This first one I made for an Itouch. It was so much fun and super easy to make. The cozy is decorated with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die cut of a pinecone. I used Stickles and a rhinestone for the center of the flower. The back button is really a brad. Make sure to check out Larissa's Etsy shop mmmcrafts to see all her wonderful patterns.

Sympathy cards

I always have such a hard time with sympathy cards. I am not sure why. This is one I made awhile back using Memory Box stamps, Distress Stains and Tim Holtz tape.

Poinsettia Christmas Card

This is one of the Holiday cards I made this year. I used the holiday Distress Ink combo and Memory Box stamps. The green is Inca Gold by Viva Decor and the background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Holiday Card Making Has Begun

My holiday card making has begun. This card is an idea for a card to send to my important clients. It may be too detailed and I will have to send it in a box. I guess it makes a statement.

The card was embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder and the tag was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I cut the pine cone with a Tim Holtz die by Sizzix and colored it with Distress Stains. I used Viva Decor Inka Gold to color the tag along with a little Distess Ink. To make the accent edging on the pine cone I used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

New Year Cards

I made these two Jewish New Year's cards and then never had a chance to send them. I used Distress Stains to color the cards. The paper is Tim Holtz Kraft Resist.

Leaves and Letters

This is a card I made for my nephew. The stamps are Studio 490.

No Limits

This card was made with Darcie's stamps and colored with Copic markers.

A Bouquet for You

A few weeks ago I went to a stamp show and got a bunch of rubber stamp sheets from Rubberneckers. This is a card I made using the stamps from the Create A Garden Set. I used Distress Inks by Ranger and the paper is Neenah.

Halloween Cookie Treat Box Using Martha Stewart Multi Surface Paint

I bought this box for a dollar at Michaels then painted it with MS paint. The spider stencil on top is a cake stencil from the MS Halloween collection. The other stencils are self adhesive stencils from MS Holiday Icons II.

Card Using Distress Stains

Last week I went to the stamp show in Rhinebeck, NY and found lots of goodies. I picked up the whole line of distress stains and some glassine paper. This my first attempt. This card uses distress inks and stains.

Two Jewish New Years Cards
