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.




Entered at




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!





Entered at:

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.
