Ruby Rock It

& 

Fiskars

This week I'm working with the Eklectique collection from Ruby Rock It and some great Fiskars products who we are teaming up with this month! I've been inspired by the work of Melissa Phillips who is an A*M*A*Z*I*N*G artist and I'll never measure up to her but I keep trying.

I have created some "thank you" tags featuring this range. 

Here I have used Ranger Tags and covered them with a layer of Eklectique mini paper and punched one of the edges with Fiskars Notebook Punch. I used the Fundamentals Vellum and sprayed it in Lindys mist in a shade of brown to give it a vintage look. Then I used one of my dies to create a little bag for the front of the tag. This little bag will hold a treat, gift card, jewelry, candy - a great surprise for someone special.

I cut some of the vintage images off the Eklectique paper and layered it over one of the tags and circle punched with my Fiskars XXL punch. I spray misted the Bella Silver Foil "Thank You" tags in brown to give it a vintage look. No need to use things as they come in the package. Alter them to suit your style, design and the project you are working on.

The top of this tag has a crinkled seam binding bow I created with ivory seam binding that I colored with mist to continue with my vintage theme. 

This is another tag I created with the same theme. I layered a doily, my vintage bag a circle and the photo. My bag holds one of the tags with a button and ribbon for an extra touch.

I topped my tag off with a flower and leaves and some cotton string tied in a bow. 

Take a peek in my etsy. I'll be carrying these tags along with many others. I LOVE making them!

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing a sachet tag I created with my CottageCutz Ornate Dragonfly Die, Scalloped Doily and the Large Confectionary Bag Die. 

I used the Scraps of Elegance May Kit "Yesterdays"

for the gorgeous papers, ribbon, button and flower.

Tags make great substitutes for cards. You print out a sentiment and add it to the back or use the tag itself to hold a gift or little surprise!

 I used just the outside of the dragonfly die. I love the delicate filigree look of it. I layered it over pattern paper and cardboard with the scalloped doily peeking out underneath.

 The back of my tag was colored with misting. I cut a piece of tulle and wrapped up some lavender. The cute Confectionary Bag was the perfect hiding place for my sachet. The bag on the back of the tag can hold a gift card, note, photo... whatever you can imagine!

Thanks so much for stopping in today! Hope you enjoyed my project.

May Kit Share

"Yesterdays"

Hi Everyone!

I'm sharing a layout today that I created with SOE May Kit for our Round Robin Game.

I followed one of our talented members "Maja" and this is what I came up with.

I used modeling paste with a Prima stencil in the corners. Layers of Gina's Designs Doilies combined with her Chipboard phrase "Beautiful" grace this page.

I love the Prima papers in this kit!

The little butterflies are from Cheery Lynn.

My dandelions were cut on my Cameo. I used some of the Shimmerz Texture Patina on my flowers.

The little green leaves were cut on the Cameo as well.

This is such a beautiful kit! I have done 3 layouts and 2 tags so far and still have a ton of goodness left!!!! 

Stop by and check out Scraps of Elegance. You will love it ... I promise!
