[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.

[1.7.16] Unity Thursday

Unity Thursday

Hello 2016… It is our first THURSDAY hop of the NEW YEAR with the Unity design team.  So excited to start the new year with all of you.  If you haven’t been hopping along, all the action starts on the Unity blog.

We are cleaning out at Unity, it is a great time to add to your new year stash!

We have a beautiful new sentiment kit for the new year.  A special one for those who may be struggling or fighting.  Because in the end, you are Worth It All.

Worth It All

This is super simple yet pretty card.  Just layered some pretty paper, stamped that big sentiment and added a bit of color.

Did you see the NEW challenge as well?  This month’s them is pink & red.  I think we can handle that!

I added a little black and gold as well.  I couldn’t help it.  That big, beautiful sentiment is foiled in gold to make it extra special.

And I have one little card to share from the January 2016 Kit of the Month… it is a stunner of a kit.  I cant’ wait to play around some more with all the fabulous images.

Start Again

{1.29.2011} a Valentine tutorial

Surprise… a Saturday POST!

Ha.

I actually blogged about this yesterday on the Ippity blog, but thought I would share it here today as well.

This was FUN!

I have never made a mass produced Valentine, so it was a bit out of the box for me.  I love how it turned out though.  That flower from Now and Always is practically worn out from all the times it has been inked up.  I will never get tired of it.  I think it paired nicely with Straight from the heart and the label from Season of Joy.

Here is the Video Tutorial for the Valentine Treat as well.. hope you enjoy.

 

stamps: Now and Always, Straight from the heart, Season of Joy {Ippity}
card stock: Bazzill, Georgia-Pacific
other: white embossing powder, blender pen {Tombow}, dum dum lollipops
