So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!
Rachael - Hello crafty peeps! Today I'm sharing this card I made for a gardener in the family. I used the great Garden Tools dies and Chicken wire texture sheets to create a simple card that is perfect for a him or a her - all from the Summer Garden collection, make sure you check it out on the website!
Julie - It’s late August, and it’s sunflowers with bees buzzing - which fits in perfectly with my passion for creating journals and all that go with them. And so this tag came to be using layers of papers and embellies from Polkadoodles Rose Bud Collection (this collection is a must) paired with a Blooms 3 floral image. Ink stenciling, bits of lace. and a touch of splatter create a backdrop for a popped up bee & floral blossom. Full details to create this project can be found on my Blog. My Instagram, Facebook
Taty - I created a gift tag for Christmas presents or a winter birthday. I used the Snow Much Fun stamp by Polkadoodles, colored it with Prismacolor pencils, and then cut it out with scissors. The phrase is from the same stamp set. For the tag, I used glittery blue cardstock and added some small snowflakes to embellish it.
Terri here with some cute and functional inspiration for you in the form of a gift box and matching tag. The DT theme this week was anything goes, with a tag. I’ve had a pack of two boxes that just needed to be assembled and decorated in my stash forever. I think they were from when I first started crafting and building my stash and would buy de-stash bundles from other crafters. When I saw the adorable gingerbread characters and Christmas Cottage I just had to use them! I measured the top of the box 5x4”) and sized the pre-coloured houseaccordingly, and also a cute gingerbread character. I sized another gingerbread character so it would fit nicely with a coloured sentiment from the coordinating sentiment pack.
As I love to colour so much, I had originally planned to colour the cottage myself (and am sure it will feature in some Christmas cards this year!) but I became short on time so used the coloured version and chose Copic colours to match. For the girl with Noel I used: E99, E34 & E21; Bow & dress R85, R83 & R81; hat & shoes BG72, B00 & B000;, icing hair YR30; purple scarf BV13, BV02, BV00; sign Y17, Y08, Y06, YG09, YG06, RV29 & RV25. I then fussy cut the images.
I decorated the box with sweet pink polkadot paper from the vintage candy paper pack. I then used a fancy rectangle die set to cut out the picture of the cottage and the fancy base in a blue that matched the colours. I then added two thin strips of cream ribbon using red line tape to the top of the box so it looked like a gift, before adhering the cottage and the Noel character, which I added foam tape to for extra dimension. Lastly I attached the tag to the box using twine, for a shabby chic look. I hope you enjoy my project as much as I enjoyed making it. Crafty hugs, Terri xx
Rachael - Hi everyone! I've made this flowery 'just because' card this week using the
Hello Pretty Flowers stamps - I love these stamps, they're so easy to use! I've stamped these onto the patterned papers from the Pretty Colourful A4/8.5x11" paper pack - no colouring required from me! Even the background is from the paper pack, gorgeous to create this look so easily.
