Spring Daffodil Tag

Happy Spring!

Today we have a super cute tag to share with you.

 This tag features

Hop Into Spring

Spring Garden Line Stencil

Bookmark II Die

 To start this tag we had to create the background.

I am using only the daffodil line on the Spring Garden Line Stencil for this tag.

My color choices are Squeezed Lemonade and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide.

I was not going for anything concrete just for some color for the background.

(ignore my dirty stencil)

When using a multiple line stencil, you always want to start at the top of your paper

and work down so that you do not ink over your work.

I inked up my stencil line by line, and blended color as I went.

After finishing all my lines, I placed my paper aside for the ink to dry a bit before dye cutting.

To cut out the tag I used Bookmark II Die

To shorten the tag I die- cut the background out

 using the flat edge of the tag and die-cut upwards.

About 4 ½ inches

The image I am using comes from Hop Into Spring

The Bunny holding a daffodil is just too cute! What a match!

I stamped, colored and die- cut out my image.

To assemble my tag I started by stamping my sentiment directly on the tag

 in the lower right portion of the tag.

I placed my image on the tag above the sentiment with foam tape.

For a final addition, I added a bow and a bit of hanging string at the top.

 

Thanks for stopping by

Stay crafty, my friends!

Newton's Nook April Release - Day 1

Day ONE of the April Release

Check out this cool new die!  

This NEW die is so inspirational I had to go all in!

The idea for this card is SPRING!

I grabbed two of my favorite Newton’s Nook spring products.

Hop Into Spring

Pastel Basics 6 X 6 PaperPad

I chose my three colors of the paper pad and then die cut each color out using 

the NEW Lattice Die.

Once everything was peeled up onto press and seal,

I used Lattice Die one more time to die cut out my frame out of white card stock.

With everything die-cut out it is now time to assemble.

It is important to remember not to overthink the process,

this is crafting and we are supposed to have fun!

I started by gluing my white card stock frame onto a separate piece of cardstock.

Then I started individually piecing in my colored background into the lattice cutouts.

 After glueing all my pieces in, I put a stamping block on my background so that the glue can set up.

Next, I stamped colored and die-cut out my piece from Hop Into Spring

I also use the Circle Frames Die Set to die cut a background 4 my image.

I also made a simple handmade banner for my sentiment.

To assemble my card I trimmed the edges of the Lattice Die card front.

This is adhered to a card base made with light yellow card stock.

Next, I attached my scallops circle to the front of my card.

I glued my banner behind my image and attached the image to the front of the card.

I completed this card with some matching gems. 

This completes my take on the Lattice Die.

This and all of the other fun new products will be available.

Hoppy Easter Everyone! IPC 120

We are at the halfway point for the current Inky Paws Challenge.

Here is the current challenge!

Here is my take on the challenge.

It all starts with the background.

I used the Plaid Stencil Set and the unusual choice of black and white.

On top of that I used the scalloped edge of the

Frameworks Die Set and white cardstock.

Now for the color!

I die cut an egg shape out of carstock from my Silhouette Cameo.

 Using the Mountains Stencil and Pickled Raspberry Distress Ink

I decorated my egg.

Not wanting to go with traditional “green grass”, 

I using the Land Boarders Die Set and blue cardstock.

This was also a great place to add on my sentiment.

With Easter around the corner I just HAD to use the Hop into Spring Stamp Set

 Bright spring colors for the egg was a must!

I hope my project brings a little joy to your day.

Times are hard right now; keep you chin up we will get thru this.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

 Hugs

Spring Time IPC 118

Who is ready for the second half of the current Inky Paws Challenge!

In case you did not know here is the current challenge.

For this half of the challenge I used the Hop Into Spring Stamp Set.

I colored in my stamped image first using my favorite bright Sharpie colors.

I then went through my paper stash and found this large colorful polka dot paper.

Just a white panel with the sentiment brakes up 

the colors of the bold polka dot background.

A simple but bold card that is sure to brighten someone’s day.

Now it is your turn!

You still have one more week to play along with the current challenge.
