Best day ever

Hi everyone!  My boys went back to school today and I am still wondering WHERE summer went?  So while they were off at school, I sat down and made a card!  Yeah, there are some advantages to a quiet house.  lol!

My card uses the Celebra'tions stamp/die set called Fun Tags and one of the matching tag dies from the Build a Tag Two die set.  There are 2 sets in the Build a Tag series and I am SO stoked to finally have a tag die set!  They come with impression plate inserts making them super versatile.
I used some patterned paper from MME and strategically trimmed and placed the mustache pattern -heehee.  What I like about stamping on black cardstock and the chalkboard look is using my colored pencils to highlight the image.  How fun!  I used a pale mint green color and added some color to my tag image.  The little flower accent is from the Blooms Four die set.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

More Gina K Christmas cards

Hi everyone!   I have a few more cards to share from Gina K's September release.  First up is a card using the set, Winter Blocks illustrated by Tami.  I went with another chalkboard themed card and stamped the image/sentiment with Versamark and embossed with white EP.  I hand drew the white and green lines with my Prismacolor pencils and did some sponging with white pigment ink, fun stuff!  The felt die cuts were left over from this card.
Next up is a card using Poster Board Christmas, illustrated by Becky.  This is another flat, easy to mail CAS Christmas card.  I like how this turned out, it just has enough embellishments to be unique and special and still easy to make.

My cards use Grass Green and Black Onyx inks and Black, White and Red Hot cardstock from the Gina's Color Companion collection.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here are some close up pictures.

Washi tape mini cards

Hi everyone!  Today I took some time and made a few mini cards JUST FOR FUN.  I just got the new Washi tape from MME from the new Chalk Studio line and fell in love!
I thought I would make a quick set of birthday cards using the new Birthday Vintage Labels Four stamp set.  The sentiments and fonts in this set are super cute and perfect for the chalkboard craze that's going on right now!  I stamped them with Versamark ink and embossed with white powder.

These measure 4 1/4" x 3 1/2" and each use a different piece of washi tape from the set, use different Prima flowers and sentiments.
Here is the group shot
This one uses the pink/black stripes tape with pink flower accents and pearls

 This one uses the leaf garland tape with turquoise flower accents and sequins
This one uses the banner tape with a mint green and pale blue flower accents and rhinestones
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!
