My 1st Magazine Publication... Awesome Reusable Tags!

Hi Everyone!

Yes it's true, I've been published in Cricut Magazine® Cards Idea Book Dec 2013 and I'm so excited to finally be able to share the news with my crafty friends. 

It's a project I'd posted previously, some of you may remember.  I was asked to pull it from all websites for a certain amount of time and now I am able to share it again :):):)

Here's another 1st.... A video about my tags.

Awesome Reusable Tags:

Tags and flowers were created in CCR and cut using my Cricut Expression with Art Philosophy cartridge.

Inks, stickles & rock candy crackle paints by Tim Holtz. Tattered Angles (for shimmer)

Vintage seam binding ribbon.

Sewing, ball chain, eyelet, background rubber stamp.

For the reusable pocket, I cut up an Avery brand, protector sheet and sewed it on. 

You can also add rhinestones or brads in the center of your flowers, instead of stickles, for a different look.

Wishing you a super fun & artistic day!

Hugs,

Fun with Glitter & Cricut Holiday Cards 8 & 14

These were a couple of free cuts offered in CCR last week. Initially, I wasn't sure if what to do with them, but then I decided to spray adhesive on the side of the liner that was to be exposed on the front of each card and then poured glitter to fill each design (white glitter for the reindeer & silver glitter for the Happy Holidays), then a bit of sewing, some ribbons, stars and vuala.... Hope you like them.

My mom loves her little chickens, so here's what I came up with for her card... Hope she likes it!

I colored it with Copic markers and experimented with the blender pen :):):)

  

Hope everyone's week is going well.

Mothers Day Love....

Hi there!

Here's one of the many Mother's Day Cards, that I have in process.  I love to make them for everyone :):):)  As usual I'm a tad bit behind, but they should be finished just in the nick of time.

So there's lot's of stamping, inking, tea dying, and real stitching.  The cute little flower & it's petals where cut with my Cricut, using the Flower Shoppe Cartridge, which is a wonderful cartridge.  Hope you like it.  

Hugs,
