Gift card Tags for Guys

Hello again Everyone,

After I made my gift card tags measuring 4x8 for the ladies I decided to make some for guys too.
We call him the Rocker guy tag. I was stumped on what to put on a guy tag, so me an Mireya went shopping! We decided to go to Hobby Lobby and it was close to closing time,we got lucky and found the little guitar . Have you ever been in Hobby Lobby when they announce it's ten till 8? We turned around and it was a ghost town in seconds! The place was full and we blinked and everyone left!!From there we went to the dollar store where I found a skeleton scarf and thought I can make this work on a guy tag.I love the way my Rocker Tag came out he was so much fun to make! This was also my first time using a mixed media type of painting with Time Holtz Alcohol inks and Distress Stains, plus some homemade sparkle spritz made with Rubbing alcohol and metallic acrylic paint. I used the cricut cartridge Paper Dolls Teen Scene to cut out guy and hand painted the face and hair.I also used the Tags,Bags,Boxes and more cricut cartridge for the tag, but I am sure you can use any tag.
Thanks for looking

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well. I have been drooling over the new prima doll stamps . Everywhere I look they are sold out. Then I thought why not Use what you have ? My husband said "What will you Use those big tags for ?" Hmm good point...I thought...They can be displayed Ooh I know !! I can make them into gift card holder /tagsThe front is the artwork the back is were you insert the Gift card or money. Then afterwards you can display them or put them in a Scrap book ! or Reuse!
I plan to sell them at the Relay for Life in Corpus Christi.I had so much fun making them I even got my daughter and Mireya dressing them up. In the Tag we call the Jolee tag, I forgot to take a picture of the back, but I will post more so you can get a look at the back.

Comments appreciated Thanks,

E for Emerald at the Alphabet Challenge Blog

Hello bloggers,

Sorry for my quick post. Unfortunately my family has had a rough couple of months. My Mother in Law passed a way in February and my Grandfather is very near his final day. I am so glad I took a half day off of work and drove to Corpus early to visit Grandpa. I got to see him wake up, after 3days of sleep, and even got a few lucid moments. I will always remember my Grandpa’s last kiss and hearing him say he loved me. God willing Grandpa will pass peacefully in his sleep.  I couldn’t ask for anything more for such a loving Grandfather. Prayers for my family always welcome.

   On to todays card for the Alphabet Challenge Blog.The challenge this week is E for Emerald (use mainly green). Last challenge our wonderful team leader Lesley decided to step down. Thankfully Shaz has kept our blog going for hopefully another few years or more! Come check out our new fresh look and play along.Sorry,I bought this stamp a few years back and I forgot her name! Anyway she was a joy to color, frame cut from Fancy Frame Cricut cartridge,paper from My minds eye.

Thanks for stopping by,

D for Daffodils at Alphabet Challenge Blog

 

Hello Crafty Bloggers,

Today’s post is for my DT post which was D for Daffodils. This wasn’t my best work; I was stumped on the Daffodils. I made the daffodils from prima flowers cut and glued to look like daffodils. Pink & brown dress made from recycled Victoria secrets tissue paper. Dress form from a Cricut cartridge, sorry can’t remember which one right now. I stenciled the background with some stencil paint cream made by Plaid (brown) and Delta (pink). Frame created from Fancy Frames Cricut cartridge.

 Thanks for stopping by.

C for Coveted use your most Coveted

Hello Paper crafters,

Todays post is all about my coveted paper collection. I LOVE PAPER! Especially my DCWV Immortal Love paper pack!  My sister Emily sent me this paper pack in 2011, because I don’t have a Joanna’s near my house. I was so excited to receive it!! Why you ask?? Well we had the intention of making this beautiful mini album. Elizabeth at 217 Creations   had so generously provided her gypsy cut files to all her followers. The album is a work of art! But so are my beautiful Immortal Love papers. So here I am in 2013…. I haven’t begun to make my mini album.

Todays Design Team post at the Alphabet Challenge Blog  COVETED- use your most coveted item DCWV Immortal Love

I took baby steps cutting up Immortal Love & created a card inspired by 217creations.com Twilight Mini Album. I used an 8 ½ by 11 black card stock and folded it in half. I cut the gate from Cricut cartridge Ornamental Iron & shadow & glued on to card. I fussy cut the base of the card to match the gate at middle of card. Images from Pixie Dust Studios, Breaking Dawn picture cut out from Uverse Guide (which came in at a perfect time!).Ribbon from an old stash I had to paint red & melted the edges down with my heat gun to create the puckered look .The little roses I bought on clearance after Valentines Day at Hobby Lobby. I cut and painted with acrylic paint, nothing like Elizabeth’s but inspired by her hard work!! Roses were small no Glimmer Glam or Glimmer Glaze, only my home made glitter spray made with rubbing alcohol and metallic Acrylic paint. I love how this card turned out! Baby steps I will eventually make the mini album. This card would be great to use as an invitation sometime this year for a Twilight Marathon weekend of crafting at my house.

B for Bottles at the Alphabet Challenge Blog

 

Hello Bloggers,

I hope this week finds you well and ready for the weekend! First off let me say my card was a little hard to photograph this time around. I used oil pastels to color this lovely stamp by STAMP HAPPEN,Inc. from Hobby Lobby called Wine Collage #90290. The mustard background looks like it's a shimmery gold in the picture! I don't usually work with oil pastels, but I love how vibrant the colors look.I did one with watercolors too,but I got over ruled on which one looked the best! I was undecided on which one I should use for my DT post, so Kim & Mireya made the decision for me.
