Piano Easel Card

Good Morning!

My Mom will be turning 88 this May so I have been playing with Birthday Card ideas.  88....hmmm doesn't a piano have 88 keys?  Although she did not play the piano she did play the organ.  This may work....I am sure I will have to explain the connection, but that is part of my Mother's Charm lol

This card will be entered into the Challenges at; Stamp TV, The Envelope Please, Scrapy Land, Anything Goes and Simon Says Wednesday, Add A Die.

I found this video on how to make this particular card from Pinterest, you can watch it HERE.

Doesn't look like much here.....but wait for it......

Here it is starting to take shape.  I used the Gina K Designs products;

Massive Messages, Spring Parade, Simple Hearts and Just A Note.

Inks in, Raven Black, Pink Pirouette

Cheery Lynn Small Gardenia and Ivy Corner Flourish--cropped.

Yellow Bead Flower Center.

Plenty of room to write my loving message.

Amy Design Musical Stave die.

Spellbinders Label 8 die.

Decorated the envie with stamps and Washi Tape.

Added a Musical Note Designer Paper Liner.

Stamped Musical Notes and a bit more Washi Tape.

It does make for a lovely set.

This will go into the Mom Birthday Card pile, will it make the cut? 

You'll have to wait and see!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Valentine Tags 3

And my last post of Valentine's Tags....I think.

These will also be entered into the Stamp TV Challenge, All Things, Great And Small.

 

Chip board jars and small tags cut out using my Cameo.  I used the stamp sets, Buds & Vases and Simple Hearts from Gina K Designs.  Jar image stamped on card stock and then on Vellum.  Stamped heart images on the card stock and then covered with the Vellum to create my jars, then glued them to the chip board jars.  Decorated with ribbon and Jute Twine, button and chip board button and Baker's Twine.  I stamped the circle hearts onto card stock and then cut out using Spellbinders Scallop Circle Die.  I also stamped xox onto the little tags. 

 



 I really need to find a 12 step program!  lol  

 

 

Thanks so much for coming by.

Valentine's Tags 2

Hello!

Here are my next 2 Valentine's Tags, also entered into the Stamp TV Challenge, All Things, Great And Small.

 

Using my Cameo I cut out the chipboard jar shape and the little itty bitty tags.     I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Buds & Vases, Home Tweet Home, Simple Hearts and Stamp It Big.  I stamped the jar image twice, once on card stock or Designer Paper and then on to Vellum, fussy cutting each out.  I then stamped my images inside one jar and on the small tags.  I glued the Vellum jars to the card stock ones, then I glued those down to the chipboard jars.  Decorated each with ribbons and Jute Twine, and a chipboard heart and Baker's Twine on one and some small Designer Paper hearts punched out on the other one.   Added some Stickles to the little heart on the little tag.  Again, these will be so sweet with a box of chocolates or other Valentine Trinket.

 

Thank you so much for dropping by, I appreciate you doing so!

Valentine Tags 1

I can honestly say that I am addicted to making tags.  I LOVE them.  I love them on a card, I love them all by themselves....I have always thought they are just little pieces of ART.  Truly.  Maybe you think so too!

These tags were made with the Stamp TV Challenge in mind, All Things, Great And Small.    Melanie is hosting and she has challenged us to make creations using LARGE stamped images and small stamped images.  FUN!

Here are my first two tags....oh and I am extremely happy to say that I have now moved on to Valentine's Day....don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, but I think I have finished all the hand made cards and tags I need.  I do have to create my yearly beach photo card, but that should take no time at all!  I just have to decide on my topic!

 

I had so much FUN making these jar tags.  I cut the jars and little tags out using my Cameo (all 6 tags are made with them, 2 more posts to come).  I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets, Buds & Vases and Simple Hearts.  I stamped the jar image onto Designer Paper from K & Company, Valentine Sweetheart and then again on Vellum, fussy cut them all out.   On the right jar tag I also stamped little hearts onto the Designer Paper.  I glued the Vellum to the stamped jar and then glued that to the chipboard jar shape, sponging the edges.  Adding ribbons and Jute twine, Baker's Twine and an Adhesive Rhinestone for decorations.  Stamped on the little tags as well.  I think these will be great to accompany a little box of chocolates for Valentine's Day!

 

Thanks so much for popping by!

Smooch

Hello Again!

Today's card will be entered into the Curtain Call Challenge, Smooch and the Simon Says Monday Challenge, Finishing Touch. 

 

There is something about Kraft card stock, you can dress it up, or dress it down.  Such a natural look!  I CASED this card from a book I have, Papercrafts, The Best Of Card Creations, it REALLY has a lot of inspiration, I have several of these books.  This particular one has over 500 photos of beautiful cards.

 

I used 2 stamp sets from Gina K Designs, Lots Of Lines and Simple Hearts.  Red gingham ribbon and red buttons for the accents.  The double heart was stamped on pink card stock and then colored with Copic Markers. 

 



 

Loving the use of this type of ribbon tab too!

 

May you find the inspiration you need.  And if you can't you should check out that book!

 

Thanks for popping by.

 

Enjoy~~
