Tag Along

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday.  Today I'm sharing a BIG card that I made with the Independent Women collection from Relatively Thoughtful.

I'm going through a bit of a tag phase at the moment, so here's a few more.

I started with a sheet of this beautiful purple card and added some stamping and paint spatters.

Then I cut some layers. It doesn't matter that there's not a full circle of yellow as this will be covered up.

I also matted some of the tags from the cut-apart sheet.

And dyed my seam binding to match. It's the first time I've used Oxides to die the binding. I really like the opaque coverage it gives - I had yellow fingers for days!

I also chose some pieces from the Stamperia Province chipboard collection. These coordinate perfectly with the Independent Women papers.

Sooo pretty!

The collection can be found here in Sally's store

Wonderland Is Better

Good morning and a very happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing my second project made for the Country View Crafts 'Tags' challenge.

I started with a chipboard tag and a sheet of the beautiful Stamperia Alice paper.

There are also Stamperia stamps to match the papers, so I stamped some red hearts and the tumbling words.

To finish I added some of the chipboard pieces so it's quite a chunky tag now!

All things Alice can be found here in the store.

Take care, have a very happy weekend, and thanks so much for looking x

A Patchwork Christmas

 Good morning and a very happy Tuesday. Today I'm back at Country View Crafts with my second project for our Christmas Gifting challenge. This time I've made some huge gift tags, which can then be used as bookmarks.

These have all been made from my wonderful Stamperia Christmas Patchwork goodies. I absolutely love these papers and stamps, and the chipboard is just beautiful! I bought the Make A Wish collection a couple of years ago. I thought that Stamperia had just re-named the collection as Christmas Patchwork but these are actually the papers from the 22 sheet collection that are not in the standard Make A Wish set. I'm really happy that there is now an 8x8 pad, and if there's suddenly an international shortage - well it might be me!

I Started by cutting some giant tags from my 8x8 pad and sponging the edges with Stamperia paint.

I stamped the sentiment from my old rubber stamp set. I think the updated version are clear stamps, but I'm sticking with these!

Then I just mounted the paper onto some thick black card, added an image from the chipboard pack, and stuck on a sentiment.

I love this Christmas tree.

But my favourite, is of course, the cat!

I hope you like them, and that you join in with our challenge - please remember, no cards!

Have a very happy week, and thanks so much for looking x
