A fun tag!

Hidey Ho, Neighbor!

I found a new to me blog and entered a card

and I thought I want to make something else

to enter, so I made this tag.

I had a lot of fun making this, I haven't really

worked on making tags and I have really been

wanting to make one. So no better

time than the present!

Gelato Thank you card

Hello again!

Today i have another Thank You card!

I decided to play around with my Gelatos.

I purchased these last year and have finally had

some time to play around with them.

I had cut a bunch of "Thank Yous" out with

my Cricut Explore using white cardstock. I figured i could just color them to make them whatever color i wanted.
I need to build up a stash of

Thank You and Birthday cards, so this is
where i am starting.

So here is my first attempt at Gelatos

and this was actually my first try with the

"thank yous" that i had cut as well.

I used water color paper added the Gelatos, misted with water,
then smeared it with the paint brush.
For the "thank you" i used zing white embossing powder to make it pop.
Added the super cute sequins that i picked up at Walmart. Check out my Haul video to see the bag full of mixed sequins i purchased, linked on the left sidebar.
It is mounted on black cardstock.

I just love this card, i wasn't sure about it at first. But after i added the thank you and sequins i fell in love with it!

Thank you card

Hello my friends!

Today i have a "Thank You" card!

I received a very nice birthday surprise from

one of my boating friends, so I wanted

to make a thank you card for them.

I used my Explore and design space,

I am starting to really like using it.
I didn't like it at first, but after i got

a new iPad and started playing around with it

I have finally gotten the hang of it.

I have really been wanting to cut out words with it,

since I have seen lots of crafty bloggers using dies

and i just didn't want to buy dies when

i have several cutting machines that i should

be able to use to cut the words out.

So here is what i came up with!

inky chicks- Faux or Real Stitching

I cut the banners and "thank you" using design space.

The anchor was cut with a Momenta cut and emboss die.

I heat embossed the "thank you" with Stampin' Up embossing powder and added some sequins.
I faux stitched the banners with a white jelly roll pen and blue pigma micron pen.

The designer paper is from Carta Bella "Ahoy There" 6x6 paper pad.
