Things With Wings - Week 4 - A 25 Day Blog Hop and Linky Party at STAMPLorations

 

Happy Day everyone!  I am here today to share my last project in STAMPlorations' 25 day Blog Hop and Linky Party "Things With Wings" ... Are you playing yet? (It's the last week you can join in! Smile).  So far for this 25-day event I have created an Arty Card, an Altered Frame and a Card and Coordinating Envelope, so for this last project I thought I would create some tags... 

These tags were so simple and quick to make because I cut the tag bases from an empty tissue box!  Have you noticed how  the designs on the tissue boxes have been getting prettier and prettier?  So why just throw them away when they are empty?  I decided to take advantage of this pretty pattern and colors to create these three tags using the CUTplorations Luggage Tag nesting dies.

 

Once the tags were cut out I glued on butterflies cut from the STAMPlortions' new spring release Flutter Zen 2 die set , then I glued them to the front of the tags and embellished like crazy with Ranger Liquid Pearl and Stickles... That's it!  Three lovely tags in less than 20 minutes... Now that's my kind of project!  Here are a whole bunch of close ups so you can see the detail...

This is the largest tag

This is the smallest tag

And this is the medium sized tag

Things With Wings - Week 3, A 25-Day Blog Hop and Linky Party Over at STAMPlorations

Hello Everyone!  I am here today to share my project for the third week of the STAMPlorations' 25 day Blog Hop and Linky Party "Things With Wings" .. Are you playing yet? (Smile).  Here is my project ...

A lovely card for spring which I created using the Fluttering Zen 2 layering dies, the Sweet Spring Wishes phrase dies and the Stitched Winter Landscape die... and then I created the matching envelope! 

This card was so easy to create using three sets of dies from STAMPlorations all mounted on a piece of patterned paper.  When I glued down the butterflies, I only added adhesive to the body of the die allowing those lacy wings to lift and flutter...

I also used a white gel pen to accent the stitched line in the CUTplorations Stitched Winter Landscape die as well as some Ranger Glossy Accents and Stickles to add some shimmer.  But I think it's the envelope that takes this project to the next level and wait until you see how easy it is to make!

You start with the stencil created by the solid butterfly shape I cut for my card... I used a heavy card stock so the stencil is quite sturdy.

I cut an envelope out using  my Making Memories Envelope Punch Board (which I LOVE by the way) and then used a sticky note to block off the space where I will write the address.  (Note: I am sure you can use this same process on a pre-made envelope.)

Then using my distress inks through the stencil I pounced on butterfly images randomly all over the envelope starting with the lightest color of ink and moving on to the darkest.

I kept my ink coverage nice and light, allowing the colors to show through from beneath and rotated the stencil so it looked like the  butterflies were arriving from every direction.

And finally I folded up the envelope and used a coordinating marker to outline the address square... now wasn't that easy?

So are you playing yet?  Have you been hopping and commenting? Or have you created something to share and linked it up yet?  Pop over to the "Things With Wings" blog post to see all the details and if nothing else do leave a comment along the way because there are some wonderful prizes to be won!

It's "Things With Wings"... A 25 Day Blog Hop and Linky Party Over At STAMPlorations

Hello Everyone! Today is the launch of the "Things With Wings" blog hop and linky party over at STAMPlorations and it is also the launch of the brand new spring line of stamps and dies celebrating everything "Things With  Wings"!  Every week until April 30th the STAMPloration design team members will be revealing new projects to excite and inspire you showcasing these new products.  The poster says it all!!  So I hope you decide to play along ... there are some pretty serious prizes to be won!

Here is the card I created for this first set of inspirational projects using the brand new Flutter Zen Border stamp and Sweet Spring Wishes phrase dies....

I stamped the butterflies in Archival waterproof ink and painted them in a rainbow of colors using my Peerless watercolors (which I am totally IN LOVE with right now)... I added a quick wash of the same rainbow colors for a background...

and then cut out and mounted my butterflies over top using foam pop dots for dimension.  Notice how I also outlined each butterfly in white ink to make them stand out even more...

I cut the sentiment out using the new Sweet Spring Wishes phrase dies  (which just happen to be on sale... Smile)  and of course a layer of Ranger's Stickles and CTMH Liquid Glass to make everything sparkle and shine.  I am just LOVING this card!!   I hope you like it just as much and pop back again next week to see what my next project will be... Smile. 

So I hope you decide to join in all the fun this month, there are some pretty serious prizes to be won!
