{ Peace Tags }

It’s been crazy busy around here and Christmas is here in four days. I really try my best, but end up doing lots of things last minute. These were created for Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft some time ago and I thought they were perfect to share  today, in case you need those last minute gift tags.

Glass Bead Glitter Gel
Chalkboard Paint
Gelatos Color BLACK & WHITE
Metallic PITT Artist Pen GOLD
Other supplies:
Tags
Vellum
Impression Obsession dies: Peace, Fir Trees.
Washi tape
Sizzix die cut machine
The Crafters Workshop template
Heidi Swapp stencil

Instructions:
1. Using Glass Bead Glitter Gel add some starts to the tags. Let dry.

2. Paint bottom of tags with Chalkboard Paint

3. Using a stencil add small dots to the bottom of each tag using white Gelato. Add some Butterscotch Gelato around the edges blending with your finger. Add washi tape. 

4. Cut trees from vellum and white cardstock. Paint the white cardstock with Glass Bead Glitter Gel. Let dry. Adhere the vellum and cardstock tree to each other and adhere to the tag using 3D foam squares from Therm O Web. Die cut “peace” from vellum and color using Metallic PITT Artist Pen GOLD.

5. Adhere to the tree using Therm O Web adhesive. Tie twine into a bow and add to the tree.

Enjoy your Monday!

{ Anything But A Card Challenge #4 }

I fell in love with these little pumpkins and thought I would give them a try. I don’t have that many fall decorations and I thought these would be perfect. Amy provided a pdf download for the templates. I was too lazy to print, so I just made my own template out of cardboard. I traced that on the back of my fabric and went to work. Like she says, these are really easy and I love how they turned out.

I bought the fabric at Hobby Lobby. I added cinnamon sticks, with a ribbon bow, for the stems and some leaves from a silk fall garland I had.

I hope you can join us in this challenge. It’s pretty easy since you can make anything (but a card).

{ Technique Tuesday SCS #321 sketch challenge }

I wanted to share a card I made using new Technique Tuesday stamp set called Love Always Wins by Ali Edwards. I used SCS sketch #321. All the new stamps are available for order and are shipping.

I stamped Technique Tuesday chip tiles with a script background stamp from Verbose. I stamped various love sentiments from the Love Always Wins set. The heart and Love is cut out and adhered with dimensional adhesive.   

I made these little sketch books after I saw a blog post by Kristina Werner. She makes them all the time and has downloads on her blog for the inside pages. They are so easy to make. 

I have notebooks filled with sketches that I have made/collected over the years and I thought I would give this little book a try. 

I used my secret stash of my favorite papers from Basic Grey. Do you recognize them? Romani Collection. The rub-ons and letter stickers are from my old stash, too.

I made this mason jar pincushion after I saw this post by Debra Collins. No sewing needed. I had this large mason jar left over from Christmas and it was perfect for my floss storage and my pins and needles. 

Have you made anything lately? Share!

Have a great weekend.
