Happy For You Tag with A2Z Scrapbooking

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a sparkly Tag featuring Hero Arts Flowers for Coloring Stamp Set, Hero Arts Winged Friends Digital Printable and Hero Arts Happy Stamp & Cut Set DC150


I created this fun tag using the Hero Arts Infinity Tags Dies DI197

I started by stamping and printing out the flowers, leaves, and dragonfly. I then colored them with my Spectrum Noir Markers. Next, I die cut the word happy 3x once from Gold Foil Cardstock and 2x from plain white cardstock. I also die cut the tags the largest and second-largest; as well as the reinforcer for the tag.

I adhered the leaves and flowers to the White tag. The leaves I adhered flat and the flowers and dragonfly I used some foam adhesive. I stack and glued the word happy. I adhered it to the tag. I stamped the for you sentiment and cut a small sentiment strip. I adhered it to the tag using foam adhesive. Next, I adhered a small strip of patterned foil paper to the bottom of the white tag. Then, I adhered the white tag to the maroon tag. I added some gold ribbon and for finishing touches I added some Nuvo Drops in Gold and White Blizzard to the flowers and dragonfly.

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with some projects featuring Sundri's High Tea 

from SumMore Fun Stamps.

I created a card and a 3D tea set - well, it's a teapot bag and a teacup. Perfect for gift giving.

Let's start with the card. 

Have A Cuppa Happiness -I created it using the Sundri's High Tea  Papers and Sticker set. 

I used the teacup and the sentiment from the sticker sheet. I used one of the floral papers and one of the teacup papers for the layer and banner. I also fussy cut the tea leaves from the strip paper - Sundri's High Tea - 10325. I stamped & colored the tea bag. For finishing touches, I added a die-cut doily, some Jewels, die-cut mini gold heart & gold ribbon.

Wishing You Warmth and Love - I used the Sundri's High Tea  Papers and Sticker set for this project. I used some templates I found on Pinterest for the bag and cup. I then added the papers, a bit of Distress Oxide Ink in Bundled Sage and sticker sentiment to finish the project.

Sea Dreams with White Rose Crafts LLC

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun and quick embossed mermaid card.

I used a Laser Cut Chipboard as my main focal point along 

with an inked background to create this card.

Let's get started.

I inked the chipboard mermaid with some Distress oxide in Blueprint sketch. I wanted to emphasis the silhouette but, I didn't want black. I then covered the inked mermaid with Ranger Clear embossing powder and heat set it. I set it aside to cool.

  

Next, I focused on the background. I used Strathmoore Bristol Smooth cardstock and several 

Distress Oxide inks in Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet, Broken China, Cracked Pistachio, Carved Pumpkin, Fossilized Amber and Worn Lipstick. To create a sunset. I set it aside to dry while I worked on the sentiment.

For the sentiment - I used a VersaMarker and traced the Cut Apart words from the Mediterranean Dreams Kit.  First, I used the Anti-Static bag and then trace the letters. I covered the letters in Ranger Clear embossing powder and heat set it. I set it aside to cool - while I cleared up my space to create the card. 

  

Now, I gathered all the components of the card. The embossed mermaid, the embossing sentiment, background panel, and a layering panel of dark blue cardstock. I start by adhering the background panel onto the blue cardstock panel. Next, I add both foam and liquid adhesive to the back of the mermaid. I center the mermaid making sure to get some of the sea and sky in her circle.

Then, I fishtail the sentiment banners and add some foam adhesive to the back of them and add them to the card panel.  

  

Finally, I added some Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend: Tropical 

from the Mediterranean Dreams Kit to create a little bluff for the mermaid.

 I also added a few by the sentiment.

The card is now complete.

Materials Used:

Mediterranean Dreams Kit:

 Scrapberry Cut Apart Topper Sheet 2 Sentiment 

Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend: Tropical

Laser-Cut Chipboard Embellishments: Mermaid

Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink: Blueprint Sketch

Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink: Carved Pumpkin
