Gina's Designs

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing some tags I created with the May Scraps of Elegance kit "Yesterdays" and I added a glassine bag from Gina's Designs.

I have been inspired by the fabulous Melissa Phillips (LOVE her work)  and saw some glassine bags she had embossed and thought I would add that feature to my bags. This tag would make a beautiful gift as well as hold one. You could fit a gift card, jewelry, treats etc. in that little pocket.

I used a floral stamp with embossing ink and silver powder. The embossing looks fabulous on the glassine.

I cut my own tag and made it large about 10 x 5 1/2.

The white flowers were ones I had on hand and I added some white die cut leaves from crepe paper. I love the delicate look the lend. These doilies are from Gina's as well. We were lucky this month to get some in our kit!

This months kit included these beautiful papers from Authentique ---you will have to just stop by Scraps of Elegance and see the kit in it's entirety. We are having a sale until the 14th and you can save even on kit subscriptions!

This is a little close up of the embossing.

This tag was created with the Pink Paislee papers. I LOVE the colors here. 

On this glassine bag I used a gold embossing powder with the same flower stamp.

The amazing buttons, charm and flowers were all part of our beautiful kit.

Cottage Cutz

Missing You Card

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a card I created featuring CottageCutz Scalloped Doily, Vintage Dress Form,  Butterfly Mini and Fancy Insert Tag Dies.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background design. I then stamped my Fancy Insert Tag with some Distress Ink. The Vintage Dress Form was die cut twice. The first time I didn't put put much pressure on it so the die made an impression but didn't pop out all the little pieces. Then the second time I cut it with all the pieces popped out. The scalloped doily and mini butterfly are the perfect accents here!

I layered on dress form over the other. This would look great too with a contrasting paper for one of the die cuts. I stamped the sentiment and small rose buds. It was my first attempt at coloring with Copics. I just got a small starter set and only have a handful of colors. I also have no idea what I'm doing but I love them! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Gina's Designs

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a tag I created with the May Scraps of Elegance "Yesterdays" and Gina's Designs Filigree Frames and Cardstock Doilies.

Take a peek at Gina's Designs Shop. She is adding new things every day!

 This tag I created for our tag swap over at Scraps of Elegance/Darkness. This month I got Lee as a partner. I hope she likes it! Come on over to Scraps of Elegance and grab one of these gorgeous kits! Play along with us in the forums. We have a blast!

 I covered my frame in modeling paste and used a heat gun to dry it. then I went on to spray it with Lindys Mists in two different colors. I dried it a little more but while it was still pliable I bent in areas for a little more dimension. I cut one of the cardstock doilies into two pieces and placed them beneath my layers.

On the back I sprayed another one of Lindys Mists and then printed out a "She Art" phrase. I cut the words apart, inked and adhered to the back of my tag. 

Thanks a bunch for stopping by today. I appreciate your visits and your kind comments.

Ruby Rock It

May Sketch Layout

Fiskars

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a layout I created for Ruby Rock It featuring the beautiful sketch for May as my inspiration.  

Ruby Rock It is teaming up with Fiskars this month and I used two of their punches on my project!

This photo is of my Mother in Law back in the day! I've created my layout in honor of the upcoming Mothers Day!

             

I used the Lace Fiskars Punch on the corner of the Ecklectique Mini Pack Paper.

            

All of my flowers were created with Heartfelt Creations Botanical Floral Stamps and leaves. I used Distress Inks to color the flowers and leaves.

             

Ruby Rock It has some great embossed cardstock selections. I used the Hexagon cardstock here and sanded off some of the design.

          

Fiskars has a wonderful Notebook border punch. I've used purple cardstock and tucked the notebook punched edge into my photo layering.
