3D Tag Friday at A Vintage Journey

Hi everyone and welcome-

Today is the 5th Friday of the month (if you're on London time) and that means TAGS at A Vintage Journey.  The team has really gone the extra mile this time with some fabulous tags.  Please stop on over by clicking here to share in the creativity and fun.

 

For my tag I, of course, went with Halloween.  I have a large box of extra Configuration Boxes and sometimes like to use them on a small project like this one.  I gave my tag a 3D treatment by using a chipboard tag and a Configuration Box. 

 

 

 You can see Tim's influence everywhere in this project.  I have been playing with my Gelli Plate and used it to make the background then added some stamping on top.

 

This project will be perfect for the Anything But Cute Challenge where they are asking for a Halloween theme as well as the use of the number 31.

 

They are having a throwback at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge so I went with  October 2013 “Spooky”.

 

Hope everyone has the most spooky Halloween ever and thanks for stopping by,

S@ndy

 

It's Somebunny's Birthday----

Ok my friends - today I have a fun card to share with you.  I was really wanting a bunny from Karen Burniston and she came through with flying colors.  I was delighted when this new release from Elizabeth Craft Designs included  Lucky the Bunny.  I think he is adorable and have ideas swirling around in my head on to use him.

For this card I used Lucky, he is celebrating his birthday, with the new Props 7 which includes this cute basket along with different items to place in it.  I have provided links at the bottom of the page to all the dies I used on this card.   

So let's celebrate!

 



On the front I used the Lucky Birthday Clear Stamp Set (Coming Soon) for the sentiment and those cute little bunnies around the edge. 

Well - what can I say?  Lucky is so happy he's juggling carrots.  Quite a collection of gifts, party favors and balloons.

Have a Crafty Week,

Ho Ho Ho

I made mine a Christmas Card rather than a Gift Card but have linked a fun video by Karen that shows exactly how to make it a wonderful gift card.

Who wouldn't love to find these cute little guys in their mailbox?  Chilly, Rudy & Jolly are all decked out for the holiday season.

Hello Autumn

Hi everyone,

I'm back today to share another card made with one of the new dies just released from Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I love this time of year when the leaves turn and the air is cooler.  I am welcoming Autumn with the Props 7 die.  These baskets are so much fun to weave together and then adding the adorable little apples and the wheat from the Props 6 die just completes the feeling of fall.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again tomorrow when I will be sharing another card made from the dies in this great release.

 

See you then,

Exciting News!!

Hi my friends and welcome - today I have some great news from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  They have just released 5 new sets of Pop it Up Dies from Karen Burniston.  For the next few days I will be sharing some cards I made using them. 

I immediately fell in love with the Props 6 - since I live in the Southwest - this is a favorite theme for me. I love all the small details this die set provides.  From the sheriff's badge to the stars on the spurs, this was so much fun.  Hope you enjoy.

On the card front I used some stickers that I had - then added the cute boots and spurs from Props 6.

 

Check below for a link to all the dies I used on this card.

 

Cocoa the Horse is all decked out in his cowboy hat and scarf.  Giddy Up!

 

 

See you tomorrow for card 2,

'Twas the night before Christmas

Hi again,

I'm back today to show you the second card for my class at The Paper Collage on November 17.  This time I went with the mouse who was stirring on the night before Christmas.

On the card front I used the Christmas Tree Pop Stand Die along with the great stamp from the Merry & Bright Clear Stamp Set.  All designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs (ECD).

 

 

This fun card opens flat to reveal Jolly in his Santa hat with a Candy Cane stirring around the Christmas Tree Pop Stand.  The trim on the hat and the pomp pomp are cut from white Velvet Adhesive Sheets by ECD. They look and feel fuzzy.

 So fun!

 

 

Hope you will check out the class details at the store:  The Paper Collage.

Would love to see you there,

S@ndy

New Class Card

Hi everyone and welcome - Today I'm making a quick stop to show one of the cards I made for a class that is scheduled for November 17 at The Paper Collage.  So hard to think about Christmas when we haven't even celebrated Halloween yet but it's a good time to get a head start, especially if you have gift cards to give.

 

Looks like Rudy is ready to party with the lights on his antlers and his nose lit up.  I used the Sleigh Gift Card holder and the Merry & Bright Stamp Set, all designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs, to let you know that Santa Says "Shop". 

I have provided a link to each product below.

Card Front

I used the Quietfire words and the Bunches of Flowers 3 - all set on top of the Lots of Dots.
All from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

 

 

I will be back tomorrow with the second card for this class.

Have a crafty week,
