I signed up for the (free) Creative Jump Start Summit 2012 and Dina Wakely's video was what gave me the impetus to make this tag. I pulled a bunch of scraps from my scrap bowl and adhered them to a discarded tag and now I have a gift tag for my husband's birthday. :) [From the top down, the papers are: Tim Holtz, Basic Grey (Kioshi), Studio Calico, American Crafts cardstock, Studio Calico, American Crafts (Merrymint), and Imaginisce (Scooter's Vacation). The brads and button are American Crafts and the sentiments are from Hero Arts (Birthday Messages; CL139)]
Next up are some Valentines! What can I say -- Hero Arts' challenges for the month revolve around a particular color scheme and lovey-dovey cards. There are two pictures for each card, since the grey cardstock behind the scalloped edge didn't show when the card was standing up.
The birds on both cards and the sentiment from the second are from "Hugs and Kisses Birds"(Hero Arts CG155). The background pattern was stamped with the Flower Dot Pattern stamp (Hero Arts CG330.) The inks used were my trusty Jet Black Archival Ink (Ranger) and chalk ink (Tsukineko.) The edge punch is Apron Lace (Fiskars.) I die cut the bracket shapes with my (new -- woo hoo!) Nestabilities dies.
Great creations! I really love the layered b'day tag.
