Bagged And Tagged

Howdy!

My new computer's cord was not working, so after driving all over creation yesterday I figured out that I just had to order one online.  I am now on my OLD computer....so there may be a few blog posts in a short period of time, strike while the iron is hot and all.  I apologize if these become annoying.  Sorry!

This is a bag and tag I have created for Papertrey Ink's Bagged & Tagged, Challenge #3.

 

I used the Love And Marriage stamp set as well as a One Liner.  I created the bag from light card stock and then covered it in some pretty Valentine Designer Paper, and trimmed the top edge with pinking shears.  I also added a bit of gorgeous lace.

 

The tag was hand cut and layered with pink card stock over white.  I stamped the pink card stock with 2 different little hearts and then stamped the large heart and fussy cut that out and layered it on a piece of black card stock so it would POP.  Added two bits of ribbon to the tag and held it in place with a cute little Valentine clothespin.  Now to make a trip to The The Chatham Candy Manor to buy something yummy to put in my sweet little Valentine bag!

 

Thanks for coming by.....yes it is snowing.....again.....STILL! 

 

Enjoy~~





Love Is In The Air

Hello! 

It was a chilly 2 degrees this morning, thankfully it has warmed to 14 degrees, downright balmy!  BUT at least the sun is shining and the sky is blue.

Today's card will be entered into the Challenges at Curtain Call, Kissing Booth and Simon Says Monday, H Is For....

They have a sweet little inspirational photo!

 

 

To build the layers I started with white card stock, stamping the pattern in black, the stamp set is from Gina K Designs, Pretty Patterns 2.  I then place a sheet of Vellum over it, to soften the look.  The center focal image, LOVE is from PTI, Love Notes set, a 2 stamp process, 1st stamped in Real Red and then in Tuxedo Black.  Stamped on white card stock and mounted on black to hi-light it.  Using the banner die from MFT Blueprints #12 die set, I cut out 9 little flag banners in different prints, 5 with heart prints.  I added 2 different colors of Baker's Twine and 2 mini black adhesive pearls.   

 

It's bright and bold and full of love!

 

Thanks for stopping by, appreciate you doing so!  Oh and in case you are wondering.....more snow on the way this weekend AND Monday.....geesh!  You know I will be crafting in between shoveling!

 

Enjoy~~ 

 



Pink Roses

Good Afternoon!  Hope you all are getting things done for the big day!!!

My card was made for the MFT, Sketch Challenge.



 

My Favorite Things had a HUGE retirement sale, so I took advantage of it.  Eek!  Using the matching stamp and die set, Sweet Roses, and the Vertical Greetings die, all from MFT, I put away my Christmas Designer Papers.  This card could be for Valentine's Day, or Mother's Day, or just an all occasion card.  I purposely left off a sentiment, for just that reason.

 

I added some rose ribbon, colored the roses with Copic Markers and added pearl centers which are also colored.

 

Okay back to making Merry. 

 

Merry Merry!
