It's time for our June challenge over at

Tag-along (and ATCs)

and this time Lynn has set us the theme of

add text/anything goes.

For my tag I started with a background

made using my gel plate and acrylic paints

in blue and yellow.

I used a small flower stamp to create

a pattern.

I cut my tag shape using  the Best Trio Punch (SU)

and using Gorgeously Made text stamp (SU)

I added text along the right hand side of my tag.

Next, using HOTP feather stamp,

I stamped the feather twice and

embossed it with clear embossing powder.

Next I used the matching stencil and

stencilled the feather using TH sparkle

embossing paste.

I matted it onto some blue paper and

stamped the sentiment from the same set,

ripped the edges and added to my tag.

I finished with some pearlised enamel dots

and a mix of gold ribbon and string.

Here's a close up of my feather

showing how sparkly it is using the

TH embossing paste.

***********************************

For my ATC I was inspired by one this one I saw on

Pinterest.

The background was made on my gel plate.

I cut my size and added some faint text using my

Gorgeously Made (SU) text stamp.

I then punched some circles in different

sizes and inked them up in different colours.

I stamped some text over the top using a

Visible Image set called background vision.

I inked around their edges and then stuck

in place.

I finished with a word sticker.

Tri fold Folio

I have another stash busting folio to share today.

The tutorial is from Cathy's Garden on YouTube.

I have changed a few things and everything has

been machine stitched which makes it really sturdy.

This one is a tri fold folio.

I have made a notebook for the left side with matching pen.

The pockets, front, back and centre contain a tag.

The centre is a larger notebook and to the right I have

made a little scratch pad with various scraps

stitched together.

You can watch a quick walk through here

It's time for a new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and this time Sandie wants to see letters of the alphabet,

at least 3,  on our tags.

For my tag I embossed my tag base using a cuttlebug embossing

folder. I then ran my finger laced with metallic rub ons,

over the top of the embossing.

Next I tore a piece from my thesaurus. The edges have

been inked and I stamped my feather on top

from a set from Hot off the Press called Feathers.

I stuck it onto my tag. Then I stamped the sentiment onto

some white card, tore the edges and inked up in blue ink.

It was stuck over the top of my feather and I finished

with some sparkly ribbon stapled in place. 

I hope you get time to come along and play.

It's time for a new theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and this time Sandie wants to see NUMBERS!

I was searching for a different stamp entirely when I came

across some of my old wooden stamps from

Forever Friends.

I have a handful of these which I kept for the

Grandkids when they spent the day here.

I made my tag base from a lilac card then added some scraps

from HOTP birthday pack along with a paper ribbon.

I stamped some numbers into each circle using

Alphabest and Make a Difference stamp sets (SU).

I coloured up the bear with my markers and cut him out.

I finished with  some ribbon and a sentiment and cut out

from the paper back.

Come and join us and use up some of your table scraps!!

My card was really me just having fun with my inks lol.

Forgive the photo, I will try and get a better one.

I used a Hot off the press stamp called Feathers.

Stamped in memento. I added some little stars from the same

set and a few corners which I added some doodling to.

I highlighted some parts of the feathers with a silver pen

and finished with a silver twine bow.

The background was made using shades of orange,

yellow and red inks from Stampin' Up!
