Winter Gothic Arch Card

November 30, 2021

Sharing this winter themed Gothic Arch with you on the blog today. I used pink and black as the color scheme to create it. Not very traditional for the holiday season approaching, but I am pleased with it just the same.

To create this arch I used pattern paper (double sided) in a pink shade, Hymnal music, digital tag that was printed, Christmas digital ephemera printed, collage image, snowflakes (Sizzix and EK Success) and black cardstock. The arch was mounted on to black cardstock and I trimmed around it with scissors to create a border.

November sure went quickly this year! I am looking forward to bringing you more creations as we approach Christmas.

Christmas Wishes Card and Tags

November 16, 2021

For this project I made two versions. One is a set of tags and the other a card featuring the tag center stage. I really loved how this project turned out!

Tags: The tags were made by covering cardstock tags which measured 2.5 by 4.5 inches with hymnal sheets. I layered some sheer vintage fabric in a square and a digital tag that was printed underneath the angel image. The angel image is 2.5 inches tall by 1 3/4 inches wide. I used fabric tac to secure these down.

Next, I placed silver Stickles (Ranger) along the edge of the angel image. I set this aside to dry for a few hours. Once dry, I tied a little bit of vintage seam binding through the top of tag. A little snowflake punch from white sparkly paper adorns the corner and a mother of pearl button in the middle. I printed “Christmas Wishes” on my computer and added the text underneath.

Card: The card was made by layering paper on to a white 5 inch by 6.5 inch cardstock card base. I started with a piece of tea stained manila envelope paper. This was followed by a textured paper that I cut a little bit smaller. The third piece of paper is watercolor paper that had been run through my Sizzix with one of my embossed “Bubble” folders. I torn the edges very carefully before gluing down. The last piece of paper is a handmade mulberry paper. By layering the papers in different sizes and textures it gives a very pleasing effect.

The last step was adding the tag. I used natural colored hemp cording for the top and ran Fabric Tac glue to set it up.

Autumn Memories Handmade Tags

October 4, 2021

Today, I am sharing “Autumn Memories” tags that were created over the weekend. My favorite little collage girl takes center stage as a wee faerie. The digital tags were printed on to Double Matte Photo Paper (Staple’s) and cut with my trimmer. I inked the edges with some Distress Ink (Tim Holtz). Little bits of torn sheet music were added and green print washi tape. I cut the little girl out and butterfly wings. They were placed on the tag using Fabrictac glue.

The tag was mounted on some coffee stained file folder (you could use cardstock) and then I stitched with my machine in random spots. Small buttons were glued on to each tag and computer phrases that were printed in Microsoft Word. Each phrase was chalked. I tied each tag with some vintage seam binding ribbon (Sandstone) and viola.

Fall Scrapling Cards

August 6, 2021

Fall will soon be upon us and what a better time to make a few “Scrapling cards” to have handy. The base of this card is mixed media paper that I coffee stained. On one card pattern paper was used. The other has recycle corrugated cardboard (which I prefer.) Then I layered digital tags I found on Etsy and printed out at home. They were then decorated with some stamps, paper punch leaves (chalked), and buttons. Super easy!
