CE Sands of Time Card and Tag

Posted on February 6, 2020 by Heather

I have been on a kick with the cards and tags lately. I have had a number of requests for specific cards. This is another set I made for a co-worker. Lots of texture on this collection.

Sands of Time Card.jpg

Here is a short video of the creative process. Enjoy!

I started with the background with some subtle stamping with the distress text stamp. I used the Distress Patterns Stencil and pulled the squares from the top paper and incorporated them with the background. I changed up the stencil on the next layer. I added a little blending with some sprays.

I love using dry wall tape and i think it adds a different type of texture than with just the pastes.

Using the Sands of Time and the Live in the Moment for the titles I think about the layering process, I use the two corner chipboard and paint spray on all of them. This gives it a shimmer that is irresistible.

Live in the Moment Tag 2

I finish off the layers with ribbon, paper and top it all off with the title. I like to soften the look of the set so I dry brush with white paint to get the effect.

Thank you for stopping by today, Enjoy and be creative.

With Love Tag February Challenge Creative Embellishments

Posted on February 1, 2020 by Heather

A new month and another new challenge. I have made a fun variation of a tag. I have a co-worker that is getting married and the month of February is always the month of Love. The twist is to add flowers this month, now I can do that.

I did start with the tag with some background stamping and texture, and I wanted it to be bold, So I used black modeling paste with the distress patterns stencil. Using various chipboards, I added layers with in the papers and chipboard. I used sprays and added some colour to the Hearts Panel. And Hearts just got a thick coat of just black spray. The fun thing about this tag is I actually have a gift card on the back of it for the bride and groom. So with the remainder of the chipboard along with some Fern Foliage filled in the back flower cluster. I added the With Love Title.

Here is the back of the tag. A nice little envelope to put a gift card in it for the bride and groom.

Here is the inspirational board and the twist again if to put flowers on your project. That is usually pretty easy for me to accomplish.

Andy Skinner Rice Paper Tags

Posted on January 29, 2020 by Heather

Hello everyone, I would love to share a set of tags I made with Andy Skinner’s new Rices Papers. And we are right around the corner for new releases for 2020, and I am so excited to see what will be coming out so stay tuned for those. Andy Skinner Tags French Fancy

I made a short creative video of the process of these tags.

Using the Rice Paper, I added some texture before I put the paper down. I wanted to play and see if this technique would come out how I had envisioned it to come out. I didn’t want to cover up the rice paper but wanted to add more feel to the tag.

Andy Skinner Tags French Fancy 4

Using the Rub-Ons I added detail on top of the rice paper and grunge it up a bit.

Andy Skinner Tags French Fancy 3

A few more close-ups.

Instead of using the word plates, I used the insert and old vintage paper to make the title.

Baby Mini Album Creative Embellishments

Posted on January 25, 2020 by Heather

I have a new project I made for a co-worker who’s going to have a baby. I have an abundance of pre-made albums. And I try and make different projects for each person, there has been something in the water where I work, and this girl will not be drinking it. :).

It's a girl Album

I did use a variety of background panels and word sets. but this is a simple album. sometimes I have a tendency to go over board and my style might not be the next persons, and Seeing this is a baby album. I started on the inside pages.

It's a girl Album 5

I used the Baby Word Set and the Baby Time Word Set through out the project. One the first page I made a flip pocket to open it up and have the announcement of the baby. Including name, weight, length, time and weight.

Page 3 and 4 consist of a photo pocket along with the beautiful saying 10 little….. The insert comes out and there are two photo options on there.

It's a girl Album 7

I can’t go with out having a little texture on the background, I used the matching stencil from the paper collection and then layered it up with the Wave Panel from the Store, what a perfect fit. And a few more spots for those soon to be perfect little baby photos.

It's a girl Album 9

I did a page with a waterfall on it and some inserts to write some of the milestones down, but to be honest not my favourite page. So on to the next page, this one has a large flap and again the Bundle of Joy form the Baby Time Word Set.

It's a girl Album 12

Another cute page is the cuddle time. One flap with a few photo ops. On this page I had a leftover chipboard from the Its a Boy collection and just stuck it right in and it worked just fine. I added some February 14th Flair to the page.

A little more layering to the next two pages. I have a few background panels I have cut in half and used on other projects, I decided to use some of my “leftovers” up. I split up the Square Lattice Panel and layered it up. And some pretty flowers and metal embellishments.

It's a girl Album 17

I have made a video of the creative process. I basically did all the paper work. got the general layout down of the album and then after everything was glued down that is when I added the flowers and the rest of the bits and bobs.

It's a girl Album 1

Thanks for stopping by today!!!! Enjoy and be creative!

Letter Art Creative Embellishments

Posted on January 7, 2020 by Heather

I would love to share a fun project I made for my co-workers this past holiday season. I made these monogram letters to hang off their gift bags. These were so fun to make, lots of layer and lots of paint and great texture.

A Letter 2

I made a short video of the layers and creative process.

I used various products and I started with the large letters, I did split a few word sets up but overall I used the Fun Large Letters and the Adore Letters. I added a thick layer of paste.

N Letter

S Letter

Using various gears and flourish’s I layered each letter. I used theFlourish 14 and the Flourish 2 on the more elegant ones and medium and mini gears and grunge arrows and arrow banners on more the grungy ones.

After all was said and done I set it aside to dry, I ran to the store and did some other running around and by the time I came back, there were dry enough to start painting, We played secret Santa this year at work and one of the questions was favourite colour, So I tried to match according to the answers on the questionnaire.

A Letter

These were such fun and neat little gifts, easy to do and personalise, I hope you give them a try sometime. Thank you for stopping by.

Posted on January 1, 2020 by Heather

Welcome to 2020. Wow where did the year go???? I am happy to say I am on CE for another term. I am grateful to be with such an amazing group of talented people. Thank you.

On to my first project for 2020! here is a mixed media layout based off the January challenge. Here is a fun layout made of our annual tree hunting at the tree farm. The tractor ride, hot chocolate and just get family fun. I started this layout with some subtle background texture with the distress crackle stamp and the Snowflake stencil. I ending up mixing paste with glitter to get the subtle effect. I added more paste to the second layer with the Falling Stars Stencil. After various layers I did a fair amount of emobossing on theSnowflake Doily and the Icicle Frame. After adding various elements like flowers, antique paper and ribbon, I finished off the page with the “Chilly” word from eh Blizzard Word Set.

Chilly Layout 6

Reindeer Cards Creative Embellishments

Posted on December 22, 2019 by Heather

I would love to share another fun set of cards I made while at Maggi’s A fun set this is a fun set of tags. I started with the paper, I ran out of paper…… I made a total of 12 plus projects, so you can just imagine you can only fit so much paper in a suitcase.

CE Reindeer Card and Tag

I did a make n tag and this was some paper I had left over, Jen wanted to demonstrate another card and of course I needed to try it. I had a few ATC coins left over and hadn’t touched the Jumping Deers yet, so what could I do to make something out of it.

CE Reindeer Card and Tag 5

I watched Jen’s demo and cut my base of the card, and then the building begins. Lots of fussy cutting and layers to build up the card.

CE Reindeer Card and Tag 3

I used a sponge and a blend of titan buff and burnt amber fluid acrylic to get the shading and texture on the jumping deers.

I had the poinsettia set, some of it had been painted from a previous project and worked with this one. I just had to add a little more paint and fit them in the flower cluster. So the great thing I have going for me is I have all of my Christmas cards and tags all done. Boy is that a good feeling, I usually am rushing but not this year. So Happy holiday to you all and Happy New Year!

Thank you for stopping by.

Creative Embellishments Holiday Tags

Posted on December 7, 2019 by Heather

Hello all, I would love to share a set of tags I made with lots of goodies from the store. Last year I made tags and they were a hit. We actually make maple syrup and what better gift at Christmas than a homemade maple syrup with a beautiful Christmas tag to go with it.

December CE Tags 1

Funny thing, I made these while I was at Maggi’s, I had some issues with what I was seeing in my brain to what was happening on the tags. At one point, I only had No and Jo on the tags instead of Joyeux Noel. Boy did we laugh.

December CE Tags

I did make a video of how these came together, I did edit out the No and Jo 🙂 Its a short one.

I assembled various tags and Artist Trading Coins with paper. I applies a layer of crackle paste with the Distressed Crackle Stencil and set aside to dry while I heat emboss all of the Merry Christmas sentiments and the snowflakes.

I love the deer heads and used them on the larger tags. I layered the Merry Christmas Sentiments and added a small flower cluster.

December CE Tags 4

These little tags came out how I envisioned them. The Jouyeux hanging off the tag to where it is going to dangle. I added the snowflake in the flower cluster and used some deconstructed tacky old Christmas ornaments Jen, Billie and I found at a thrift sale on our walk.

December CE Tags 10

Now these ones I thought were going to dangle like real ornaments, that is where the No and Jo came in. I struggled with the ribbon choice, but I was determined to get the right look…………ok well trash that, I just glue them down. 😉 but the Christmas Bulbs still dangled so I still got some of the effect I was looking for.

December CE Tags 7

These are so fun and they are going to work great for my gifts and maple syrup. I hope they inspire you all to have some fun this holiday season. Happy Holidays to you all!
