49 and Market All Occasion Tag

I made an all occasion tag with beautiful papers in the 49 and Market "Bold and Beautiful" collection!
I call this "all occasion" because I will be able to choose the sentiment.
I will show you what I mean later in this post.

I used the 49 and Market laser cut flowers, leaves & stamps from this collection.

Adhesive foam circles give a dimensional effect to the flower pieces.

I chose the new 49 and Market Wildflowers in Sky color.

LOVE them!

They are really a gray-blue which I love.

Since the print on the paper is gray-blue, I edge inked the tag in "Colonial Blue" color.

I also inked The Dusty Attic circle frame with it.  

BEAUTIFUL!

I added 49 and Market's Wishing Bubbles in Taffy color for more background interest.

Finally, I splattered Gesso colored with Lindy's mica "Whale Watch Blue".

And Reneabouquet's beautiful butterfly, as always, gives my project the finishing touch!

The back of the tag leaves plenty of room to write a personal note.

A sentiment can be placed inside The Dusty Attic Frame.

I computer printed several sentiments in a gray-blue color
and then punched them out using a 1" circle punch.
Each also has Scor-Tape cut in the same 1" circle, so they're ready to be adhered!

Here are several photos with some of the sentiments I made.

Thanks for visiting and please come again.

Have a great week!

Thank You Card to Marylou

Well, some how I forgot to post this from May 2019!

I created and sent this Thank You card to dear Marylou because she kept in touch with me often to check on my well being after Joe died.  

What an awesome lady and sweet friend!

Support is always the most uplifting thing a friend can do for another!

I decided that creating a handmade Thank You card was definitely warranted!

I had received a new order of gorgeous Stamperia papers. 

This is the collection called "Azulejos de Sueno" which means in English "Dream Tiles"!

Such a gorgeous collection!

Here is the beginning of what I created for this dear lady....

I started by creating a pocket to the front of the card. 

This is how I did it....

I scored the paper in 1/4 inch sizes and then folded it over to form a pocket.

Folded over the edges....

Then used Scor-Tape adhesive to keep the pocket in place.

Although the 'inside' of this pocket is absolutely gorgeous, the outside meant much more to me. 

Look how nice and neat the pocket came out!

The pocket is decorated with diamond-shaped bling. 

Now for the inside.....

Using the same diamond-shaped bling and blue vellum to print Marylou's note...

These are all of the pieces included in this creation.

A beautiful envelope that has a personal enclosed note. 

And a bookmark.

Simple, but beautiful, thanks to this gorgeous paper collection!

Thanks for your visit and have a very happy week!

Friendship Shaker Tag for Rocky

My Friendship with Rocky is very special.

It truly enriches my life! 

I'm so blessed to have her as a great friend.

So, I made her a tag to let her know this.

I used an older Maja Design collection that I absolutely LOVE...Enjoying Outdoors.

I'm such a purple-holic. 

First, the papers and chipboard are cut.

Although the very thin die isn't able to cut all the way through chipboard,
it does cut it enough to make it easy to finish with a pair of scissors.

The papers are adhered to the chipboard and the sides inked in Raisin color.
The tag size is 4-1/2" x 7-3/4".

Next, I die cut and adhered the circles to form the shaker part of the tag.

Clear acetate, die cut in a solid circle, is glued to the back.
For added stability, an open circle is die cut using thin cardboard sheet & glued on top of the acetate. 
(I use the thin package cardboard insert that comes in a 24-pack of canned cat food >^..^<)

I've been so anxious to use my newest purchase of Buttons Galore shaker sequin mixes 
in their 28 Lilac Lane collection.  
This one is "Plum Fancy", which is a mix of purples & clear round sequins and stars.

I also mixed in a few seed beads in purple, lavender & green. 

 I placed the sequin mix where I was going to put the circle shaker. 

After lining the backside of the circle piece with adhesive foam....

it was placed on top of the sequin mix pile to create the shaker.
Voila!

I love 'resurrecting' some older stash. 

I added the beautiful printed chipboard dragonfly from K&Company - Susan Winget collection...  

A pretty flower arrangement finishes the front of the tag.

The word 'Friendship' is computer printed using the same paper that's on the back of the tag.

A tag hole is punched and seam binding is run through and tied.

I made a pocket for the backside of the tag, using one of the journaling cards from this paper collection.
A small die cut tag is placed in the pocket and has a personal written note to Rocky.

Jolee's Boutique dimensional stickers from my older stash spruced up the back of the tag!

Thanks so much for visiting!
Have a great week!
