Happy Friday!

Hello there stamping friends! Today I am coming to you with a post about two projects that I have worked on in the past week.  You know the kind of project that you make just because you need some therapy. Well those two are just that, lol!  Let me begin with a tag I made last week.

The Key To Heaven

For this I just went for it. I pulled out some lace, lots of flowers and one of my all time favorite stamp set by Our Daily Bread Designs "Quote Collection 3". If you ask me, these quotes are always right on and can be used for any occasion, when we want to encourage someone just because.

Recipe:

Paper: SU Pink Pirouette, PTI Vintage Cream, DP DCWV Primrose

Stamps: ODBD Quote Collection 3

Inks: VersaFine Onyx Black

Accessories:  Spellbinders Antique Frame and Accents, Grand Labels 4, ODBD Custom dies Vintage Labels

pearl pick, feather pick, tulle pearl pick, lace appliques, Venise lace, WOC flowers, handmade stick pin, cherub, German glass glitter, acrylic heart, Prima wood ephemera, rhinestone accents, jewelry piece, seam binding, lace

That is my tag I came up with, but I also made an altered mirror. I had been seeing some inspiration on Pinterest and was on the hunt for a decorative mirror. Well, I did not find a real antique mirror, but I did find a silver mirror, decorative and all at the $ store, yep, of all places, LOL!  So, I used some Gesso painted the entire thing up, it was really shiny and not working so well for me. :D  After that I just added an applique and flowers and some other small embellishments and this right here is what came out

Always Believe

Recipe:

Paper: DP First Edition Bella Rose

Accessories: Spellbinders Decorative Ovals, word beads from Michael's, feather pick, WOC flowers, cherub, seam binding in white and soft pink, earring, chandelier crystal, rhinestone embellishments, pearl and tulle pick, handmade stick pin, embroidered lace, acrylic heart

So, what do you think of my projects? I know very Shabby Chic, but I just had to create, sort of as stress relief, LOL!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I would love to hear what you think of my creations and as always, please feel free to contact me, if you have any question.

Have a blessed and super creative weekend!

Hugs,

Hello My Friend

Hello stamping friends. I hope that each and every one of you has a great start to the weekend! I am coming to you with a tag that I have made for one of my friends who recently celebrated her birthday.
As my inspiration I chose a tag I had spotted on Pinterest and the rest is history, LOL!

For the base of my tag I chose medium weight chipboard and attached card stock on the back of it and DCWV Designer Paper the Primrose pad on the front, well, which was all covered up in the process! ;D

I've used the birdcage and bird by Tim Holtz, painted them with shimmer paint and added a piece of white crochet lace to the bottom of the birdcage. Since the bird was eye-less, I gave her a tiny pearl eye and attached her with some foam tape. Around the sides and bottom of the tag I added various pieces of lace I had laying on my desk and then the fun began with LOTS of flowers. I have also used some metal on this all decked out tag in form of a painted key, a butterfly, wire and pearl/crystal sprays and two bling piecesand a filigree piece I painted with Gesso. Some seam binding and a sentiment tag cut with the Antique Labels and Border die by Our Daily Bread Designs. The sentiment is also from Our Daily Bread Designs and is from the Sentiment Collection Two.....love this set! And to finish it off I sprayed the entire tag with homemade shimmer spray. I really wish my camera would pick it up.

And here is my tag

Seeing Light with your Heart

Hello stamping friends. Sorry I have been missing, I have had some more health issues. Today I am coming to you with a card I have created using Our Daily Bread Designs brand new Decorative Corners dies from the September release. If you have not checked them out, I encourage you to do so as they are super versatile. For my card I have chosen the smaller one of the two that you will receive in the set and this is what I have come up with

Faith is seeing the Light with your Heart!

Recipe:

Paper: PTI Rustic Cream, Vintage Cream, Recollections light  blue, DP Prima Delight

Stamps: ODBD Quote Collection 3 (March2013 release)

Inks: Steel Blue

Accessories: ODBD Custom Dies Decorative Corners, Spellbinders Labels 22, Decorative Labels 22, May Arts pink sheer ribbon, My Arts cotton crochet lace, Recollections half pearls and rhinestones, assortment of paper flowers, heart embellishment

Size: 5.5" x 5.5"

So for my card I cut the smaller of Decorative Corners dies four times out of  Vintage Cream. Even though my card is 5.5" x 5.5" I did cut the very end of the die cut pieces off to make it more rounded. I then die cut the Decorative Labels 22 out of the light blue card stock, the Labels 22 out of Rustic Cream on which I stamped the quote from the Quote Collection 3 in steel blue. After applying all of my base layers I simply adhered the Decorative Corners pieces with wet glue, having the pointy corner face toward the middle, added the sheer ribbon and lace and then added the light blue layer and sentiment layer and finished it off with a bow, some flowers and pearls and rhinestones.

I hope I was able to inspire you today with my somewhat out of the box design, that corner dies don't always have to be used on corners.

Thanks so very much for stopping by today!

Hugs and blessings,
