Accident Tag

Currie made this card for her sister Dana when she decided to catch a falling bulletin board with her face at her own son's gymnastics class.

She used the Cricut cartridge "Just Because" cards to cut out the shape of the tag.

She punched holes around the card and sewed together with twine.

She put an eyelet on the tag and put a red ribbon through it and stapled it with the Tim Holtz stapler, love those little staples!

She stamped the images, and colored them.

She stamped the saying and cut it apart.  The first part of the saying she put on the front of the tag and used Tim Holtz Fragments over the words.  The second part she stamped for the inside of the tag.

Holy Cow Birthday cow

First I want to say that I am sorry for the delay on posting.

I have had problems with an upgrade, computers just don't listen very well.

But Currie has come up with a great birthday card for you.

The brown background card is embossed with the Cuttlebug and with a Cuttlebug folder.

She cut out the white card stock for the image and used Tim Holtz distress tool on the edges.

She stamped and embossed the cow stamp then colored it.

The Holy Cow birthday stamp is one stamp. She masked it and stamped the 'HOLY COW' in black and then she stamped 'another birthday' in red.

She stippled distress ink around the edges and punched the holes for the play on words.

She added a Tim Holtz acrylic piece over the words that make them stand out.

The last thing was to punch a hole in the corner and add an square eyelet and put the ribbon through.

Halloween tag card

Wendy Buttke made this tag card with Crackerbox Palace stamps.

The black card stock is cut 4 1/4 X 11.  It is folded at 5 1/2. 

Make the tag and lay it beside the black card stock and mark where you would like to cut it so the saying is above the cut line.

A strip of purple card stock is used behind the ribbon on the front.

Thanks for stopping in and looking.

Sweet Lady in Red

Lois Larson made this card. She used Crackebox Palace stamps.

On the chocolates she used brown applique.  All she did was apply the applique to the the candy and let it dry.  Usually you heat the applique to make it puff up, we found when you just let it dry, it dries very shinny.

Thanks for looking and have a sweet day.

Thinking of you with quilling flowers

This is one of our sayings I used. 

The flowers are the new quilling flowers from Cuttlebug.  I liked the looks of quilling, but was never interested in doing it until now.  It is so easy and I like the 3D flowers.  With having all 3 flowers I am able to mix and match what the flower looks like.  I like using it with printed paper and some of my scraps that I have stamped on and cut out.

Necklace from Currie

Isn't this a nice necklace that Currie made? She used the frames from Memory Makers.

She added colores with the beads that attach the piece to the chain.

Don't worry if it does turn around when you are wearing it, she has a pretty butterfly on the other side.

Ever Need a Hand

The background paper has been put through the Cuttlebug with one of the Fades from Tim Holtz folders. I sanded the embossed area.  I stamped the hand on the card and then cut out an opening by the wrist to curl the paper back.  I then stamped the hand on a light tan card stock,(so I didn't have to color to much) and cut it out.  When I cut it out, I left some extra card stock at the end of his wrist to lay under the card.

The square behind the saying and the inverted frame are Spellbinders.  All of the stamps are Crackerbox Palace rubber stamps.
