[2.10.17] TAG you’re It!

Tag You’re It!

I’m so excited to be the featured designer for the next challenge with Tag You’re It!.  A long time ago, I was on the first design team for this challenge, it has a special place in my heart. I’m just thrilled to be back as a featured artist. To play along, just create a TAG or TAG containing project inspired by this tag project.

I hope this little guy gets you in the mood for some Valentine tags or just because I love you tags.

Valentine’s Day was my inspiration, so I went with a black & white with a hint of red. This adorable otter is shaded with Copic markers. The polka dot ribbon and red twine just finished it all off.

It has been a long, long time since I’ve had the pleasure of participating in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I just had to make it happen this time. There is nothing I love more than combining my love for coffee and cards. Unity Stamp Company is a super sponsor and I’m proud to be using some of their stamps for my project today.

I’m finished with my Christmas cards. *gasp* I can’t believe it and they are actually going to be mailed out in time. You’d think I had my stuff together this year. Haha. I just know I’m going to need a couple thank you cards and this blog hop theme was the perfect reason to get ahead on that as well. Thank you for the swift kick in the pants to get in gear.

In case you were wondering, this cuppa love holds my favorite Starbucks holiday drink – A Soy Caramel Brulee Latte. And then it is all wrapped up in a sweater… if this cup had boots it would contain 3 of my favorite winter things. Haha. I just love this sweater wrapped mug from the 9/15 kit of the month – Our Hearts to Yours. I colored it with Copic markers, fussy cut it out and then popped it up on the card with a little string bow. The sentiment is from the same kit and just perfect for holiday thank you cards, don’tcha think?

Also, these are 3 x 5.5 inch cards. Just too stinking cute and use up my 6×6 papers perfectly. I love this size for cards I know won’t need an envelope. I just leave them for people or drop them off as is. Just a quickie kinda card. Not so formal, but oh so cute.

Are you interested in hopping too? You can! It is tons of fun too. You can link up HERE till December 16th. Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate the visit. May your day be as warm and comforting as your favorite beverage. Hugs.

{5.29.2012} hugs

Oh my, it is so hard to say goodbye.  It was a dream to be apart of the SPARKS challenge team from Paper Smooches the first time in 2012 and THEN to come back to play again earlier this year was amazing.  Paper Smooches has and will always hold a special place in my heart because of the SWEETEST owner and design team coordinator.  I can’t thank Kim and Savannah enough for making this team so much fun!  So today, for our last ANYTHING goes challenge, I’m saying THANK YOU.

dahlhouse designs | 10.2015 birthday tags card

Big birthday fun going on in this card.  I couldn’t decide on what to say, so I said it all!  Lol.  Super easy card to recreate, just stamp some sentiments away on some little tags, fan out and connect with a big brad.

Woo hoo, time for the next SPARKS challenge from Paper Smooches.  BEST one EVAH… Anything goes.

dahlhouse designs | 9.2015 thanks

A little kraft, a little black and a little gold…  all adds up to one pretty card.  I die cut the roses in black cardstock and adhered them to the kraft.  The “thanks” is embossed in gold and then I added a few gold hearts for additional shine.  It just still needed something, so I added some doodled dots with a white gel pen at the end.
