tag it !

 

 

On the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog

the challenge is to make a tag .

 

I used Paper Smooches stamps and made this cutie:

 

 

The tags were cut using the Reverse Confetti die that you can find HERE.

 

Got to hurry to upload this on the Paper Smooches guest designer

search ...the link closes soon.

Wish me luck!

 

'till next time,

Less is More

 

 

Hope you're having a great weekend!

 

I made this card to play along with this week's challenge over on the Less is More site.

 

 

The challenge is to make a one layer card with the theme "BEVERAGES".

 

I used my computer for the sentiment.

The wine glass is a stamp from Skipping Stones Design.

Color is Copic Marker RV69.

 

I used Glossy accents over the wine glass and true to form, I stuck my arm into it before it was completely dry and smudged it....so I added more glossy accents to cover up the smudge.

 

This time I sat on my hands until it was completely dry!

When I picked it up to look at it I noticed a cool thing that had happened.

Tiny little air bubbles got trapped between the layers of Glossy accent...

all is good because it makes the wine glass look very realistic.

I could not have done that if I tried!

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Paper smooches

  

 



Can you believe we're half way through September already?

 

With that in mind, I made my first Christmas card for this year:

 

 

I had fun using the new stamp set - A Blessed Christmas

that I just got from Paper Smooches.

 

 

The top part of the card is sponged using Stampin' Up Brillant Blue ink.

The star is a die cut from Memory Box ...I added a touch of white glitter to make it sparkle!

 

The bottom part of the card is royal blue cardstock on which I stamped the Three Wise Men.

I thought that they needed to sparkle also ...you know, being Royal and all!

You can't see it in the picture, but they have been sprinkled with beetle black glitter by doodlebug.

 

I tried a technique (new to me) that I learned up at the STAMPLISTIC store in Amhurst Ohio .

After stamping the Three Wise Men in black ink

I went over the image using a Quickie glue pen.

Let it dry...it goes from blue to clear...then sprinkle on glitter, shake off the excess.

The next step is called burnishing...you rub the glitter into the surface with your finger.

rub hard... then you brush away the excess and that's it! 

The surface is still softly glittery.

Try it...you'll be amazed!

They even have a special brush to brush away the glitter called a Sparkle Sweeper.

Yes I bought one and yes it is worth it's weight in gold!

You can find it HERE

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Zippy

 

 

Zippy is The University of Akron's mascot....and

he is a very cute Kangaroo.

 

I  made this wine bottle tag using the University's colors of navy and gold

and the cutest Kangaroo stamp from
