Shoot for the moon!

I have another tag for Michele's theme of FACES over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This was another image I got from Mirtillamente and I choose

it specifically for this challenge.

It really is a nice image.

I coloured it up with markers, inked up the background

in blue ink and added some yellow stars.

The sentiment was added via the computer.

Fragile Fragment. Stamped in black then I inked over it

using my blending brush in polished pink ink (SU).

I then re-

stamped the heart and number tiles and cut

them out to 3d onto my tag.

Use a Postage Stamp challenge over at

TAG TUESDAY.

For this one I stamped the background using  a Woodware stamp called

Vintage Swallow tail. 

The papers are scraps from my scrap box

and I also used the scraps to make some mini

envelopes.

The stamp is from the pile I saved over Christmas.

It has been finished with a die cut tag top.

I had collected some stamps over Christmas to keep

for this theme and make my background tag with them.

I then stamped Charlie the Postman from Whiff of Joy

and coloured him up with markers.

I added a sentiment using my label maker

and finished the tag off with some ribbon.

I hope you get time to play along this fortnight.

I have another tag for Valerie's theme

New Beginnings over at

Tag Tuesday.

This week I went with the theme 'keep in touch'.

How many of us say we will keep in touch

but don't? And at this age it usually ends up too late :(

I found this Lili of the Valley image and thought it

would work perfectly with my triangular shaped tag.

The shape came about as I had some scraps left over

from a previous project lol.

So this little bear actually comes with a large sunflower

so I cut that away and coloured him up with markers

and wrote 'keep in touch' on his little envelope.

I hope you get time to join us this week.

Our new challenge theme at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Valerie and she has gone with

NEW BEGINNINGS!

This year I have started doing some needle felting.

It is very addictive and so far I have made a little mouse

and a rabbit.

So I decided to needle felt a little heart for my tag

to represent my new beginnings in my crafty world!

I embossed the background with a heart folder

and punched with my tag punch.

I needle felted a heart in yellow

and then added my sentiments in yellow ink.

The tag was finished with some gold ribbon.

Stamp set used was Alphabest (SU).

Happy New Year

I have another tag for Michele's theme over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This time I went with New Year for her

Winter Holiday theme.

I used a piece of textured card for my base.

The glass was stamped along with the champagne.

I then inked around the glass in pink ink.

I stamped the year in the glass

then added the sentiment, leaves and strawberry,

all stamped and coloured with markers.

I finished it off with some faux stitching/doodles.

Items used:

Sip Sip Hooray, Itty Bitty Christmas, Make a Difference (SU)

Markers.

Winter Holiday

It's Michele's turn to host the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and she has gone with Winter Holiday.

My tag shows my winter holiday indoors

looking out lol.

I used Peaceful Deer stamp set to create the

trees and snow layers.

The sky is a mix of colours trying to show

the gorgeous pinks, purples and blues we have

been getting recently.

I added some stamped stars and then

stamped a little deer lying peacefully on the snow.

It was inked round the edges and finished with a bit of ribbon.

I hope you get time to join us over the next two weeks.

Christmas tag

I have another tag for my theme CHRISTMAS

over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This time I used scraps from my scrap box

along with a stamp and die set called

Hang an ornament (SU).

I stamped the bauble and holly and berries.

When the background papers were layered onto my tag

I ran it through my sewing machine.

I then added the bauble and holly

and finished with some ribbon and a little bow.

Christmas tag

It's my turn to choose the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and because I need more tags I thought

CHRISTMAS would be perfect.

I am sure some of you are in the same boat lol.

So for my first tag I went with a shaker.

I used a stamp and die set called Hang an Ornament

from SU, along with old olive card and ink.

I cut the bauble shape from my tag base

then ran the base through the snowflake embossing

folder from Embossilicious.

I then swiped my white ink pad gently over the top

so the snowflakes picked it up.

I added some acetate to the back then cut another

tag the same size. I stamped and cut the bauble

using old olive ink and positioned behind

the acetate window. I added some dimensionals

and filled it with some colourful sequins.

It was then sealed up ready to shake!

I finished with some stamped holly and berries

and some ribbon at the top.

I hope you get time to play along with my theme this fortnight.

It's the second week of Sandie's LETTERS theme over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This week I found some colourful letters leftover from a

paper pack so I hunted out the letters for snow.

I made a tag base using blue and lime green card.

Using embossing paste and a snowfall stencil from

Polkadoodles I covered the blue background in snow.

I then stamped the snowman from Spirited Snowmen (SU),

coloured him up with markers and cut him out.

He was stuck in place. I then inked round the edges of

my cut up SNOW letters and stuck them in place.

I stamped let it from Snowman Season stamp set in blue

and added the to my tag.

It was finished by shaping the top and added some

green ribbon.

All about your abc's

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.

Between baby minding and appointments my

time has been very limited but I got there

last night and can I just say I was truly

inspired by you all!!!

Anything is possible!

We have another week of anything goes over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This time I made two tags in different sizes.

These were made to go in one of my folios.

The backgrounds were cut from some grid paper from a pack 

from K & Company.

I inked up the background in gorgeous grape then stamped

some text from Gorgeously Made stamps.

I then added bits of stickers and topped them with

wording from a Hunkydory pack called Just My Type.

I then melted some ribbon with my heat gun

and stapled to the top of each tag.

This time of the year is so hard for everyone.

Pretty tag!

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Valerie and she has gone

with anything goes!!

Easy or what!

I have gone with a pretty butterfly tag.

I started with a piece of white card and stamped

some text from Gorgeously Made stamp set.

I then inked it up using gorgeous grape ink.

I punched the top for the tag shape and then

added some butterfly stickers and flower stickers

from my stash.

I took it to my sewing machine and stitched all the

way round in white thread.

I then stamped the sentiment

and added to the centre.

The ribbon has been heated with my heat tool

to make it shrink and curl and I

attached it to the tag.

Day of the Dead

I have another tag for Michele's theme

DAY OF THE DEAD

over at

TAG TUESDAY.

Didn't do much here other than cut circles

and add some wording which was computerised.

Not my forte but we need to stretch ourselves these days!!

The images are from Vectoria Designs.

Day of the Dead!!

It is Michele's turn to pick the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and she has gone with

Day of the Dead!!

I don't have any stamps related to that theme but

I did get this lovely free download from Vectoria Designs.

It came with the little mini book cover which I turned into a

pocket for the tag.

I added the wording to the front of the pocket

and printed the tag off twice so I could layer up some of the

flowers and added a sentiment on the bottom.

I finished it with some ribbon and then added lots of 

glaze to the places I wanted to pop.

I hope you get time to join us this fortnight!

It's the second week of my Halloween theme over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This time I went with a scary Frankenstein head.

I inked up the background and stamped some bats

and wording. This was matted onto some black card.

I then stamped the image and cut him out to

add to my tag.

I finished with some linen string.

For my second tag I simply stamped the Halloween label

in the centre and then added the stamped bats around the edges.

I blended with some purple ink but it's not showing

at all in the photo.

It was mounted onto black card and I finished

it with some string and bakers twine.

It was my turn to choose the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and I have gone with Halloween!

I had a few tags to make for the Grandkids albums and goodie bags

so it was a good incentive for me lol.

This one has been made with making an inky background

to which I stamped bats and cobwebs from a stamp set called

Tricks & Treats. I stamped the house separately

and added colour to the windows and door.

It was cut out and stuck in place.

I backed it onto some black card and added

some string for a spooky feel.

My next tag was a bit less colourful but I did use the house

again. I stamped it directly onto the tag

and then stamped the trick or treat sentiment.

It was inked lightly in purple ink and the windows and doors

where coloured in with a fluorescent yellow gel pen.

I finished with some string and bakers twine.
