Tag It

Quick post as I am running late and heading out to help at school today, so I will be back later with all the details.  It's Wednesday so that means another recipe challenge ovet Cooking It Up With Katie and this week we are sponsored by Digital Delights.  Our recipe is as follows:

"Die cut a tag and make it Christmas!"

I started with the sketch over at Sketchbook Saturday, which I thought was from this week but Feline Playful has wrong sketch posted (oh well, still love the sketch). The sentiment is from our fabulous sponsor and is called "A touch of Christmas set" which I have printed on a tag I cut from the Cricut. I have added some stitching and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Antique Linen. The pp is from Lost & Found Christmas 6 x 6 stack I picked up at Archiver's and the green is Olive from CTMH. The flourish from an Inkadinkado set.

Check out what the rest of team has created and hope you have a great day!

Harvest Blessings

The temps are cooling down here in Kansas City, making for some nice crisp mornings/evenings and although everything is still green Fall will be here in no time.  This week over at Cooking It Up With Katie the team has created some wonderful projects perfect for fall!  We are sponsored this week by Digital Delights and they have some super cute images!

Our challenge this weeks is as follows:

"Use a Punch, Include a Pair (2 of the same thing or 2 ribbons, 2 flowers etc), and Make a Pocket (this can be real or faux, even on the image counts).

 I started by making my card base using the pattern from CTMH Orignials book called "invitation" on 

page 81. I grabbed some scraps and this fun fall paper from Cloud 9 Design paper pad. I cut my tags using my Cricut and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. I chose to work with the "Harvest Blessings" sentiment from the fall sentiments set and distressed the edges before adding to my tags.  Now the fun part- I added what looks like stitching (in CTMH chocolate ink)  to my cream piece using a tracing wheel (thanks Sue for teaching us this technique)!

I am entering this in the following challenges:

Kaboodle Doodles #62

It's all about "cute and cuddly" critters for this week's challenge at Kaboodle Doodles.  Once again we have a wonderful sponsor Digital Delights who is offer a $10 voucher for their store.

Sorry for horrible lighting on my card, but my camera battery was dead so had to use my phone.  When I saw this adorable giraffe I knew I wanted to use him for challenge!  I printed him on CTMH buttercup cardstock and then added some highlights with Copic Y17.  I colored the spots with E29 and then added some brown sparkly fluff to each spot. I also printed the image on white after added the text to image using Paint.net and then added my yellow layers of giraffe.  I used my Cuttlebug folder inked with chestnut roan to create the yellow/brown embossed piece.
