For You Tag

 Happy Sunday!

I've been busy creating with the brand new Paper Flower collection which is releasing tomorrow, August 31st. For today's project, I created this pretty For You Tag. To create my tag, I've used a variety of dies from the Paper Flower Collection, Joset Designs and the Planner Essentials Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my tag at home.

To start, die cut the large tag from the Planner Essentials 26 - Planner Pocket 3 - Tags & Topper die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Die cut the Elegant Ornament die out of kraft cardstock. Trim the elegant ornament down to       5 3/8".

From the Words 2 - Thinking of You die, you'll need the For You words. Die cut the For You words out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

The next three steps use the Florals 4 die.

Die cut one of the leaves once and die cut the other leaf out twice from White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the flower centres out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. You'll only need two flower centres. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Shabby Shutters Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam over the entire surface of the leaves and centres. Shape the leaves as desired.

Die cut the medium flower twice and the small flower four times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Worn Lipstick Distress Ink over the entire surface of all of the flowers. 

Die cut three two berry branches and one berry branch out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Abandoned Coral Distress Ink over the entire surface of all of the berry branches.

Adhere the elegant ornament 3/8" from the right and all the way to the bottom of the tag.

Adhere the leaves as desired around the ornament.

Adhere the flowers together and shape them as desired.

Adhere the berry branches as desired around the ornament.

Foam square the flowers overtop of where the leaves and berry branches meet around the ornament.

Adhere the For You words in the open area of the ornament as desired.

To finish the tag, tie a piece of twine through the hole at the top of the tag.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished tag.

Here is the finished For You Tag.

Beauty Notecard

  Happy Wednesday!

For today's post, I've created this pretty and simple Beauty Notecard perfect to send to a loved one or a friend with a little note in it. To create the notecard, I've used a variety of stamps and stencils from the new release from the Art Journal Specials Collection as well as Joset Designs.  You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my notecard at home.

To start, choose a piece of subtle patterned paper. Die cut a 3" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of the patterned paper piece. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut a 2 1/2" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of black cardstock. Distress the edges of the rectangle. 

Die cut a 2" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Place the Rocks stencil overtop of the rectangle. Mix a bit of black embossing powder in a little bit of Texture Paste Opaque Matte. Using a palette knife, put the mixed Texture Paste Opaque Matte through the stencil. Remove the stencil. Allow the stenciled area to dry. Once the stenciled area is dry, distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Poppy Bunch stamp from the Poppy Dream Stamp Set and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Colour the poppies in using the Watercolour Palette and a waterbrush. Fussy cut the poppy bunch out. Ink the edges of the poppy bunch using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Apply Candied Apple Distress Ink to the beauty stamp from the Journal Words and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Fussy cut the word out. Ink the edges of the word using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 2" rectangle to the 2 1/2" rectangle. Foam square the 2 1/2" rectangle to the 3" rectangle. 

Use foam squares to adhere the poppy branch to the middle of the poppy branch. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the beauty word to the bottom left side of the 2" rectangle.

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 3" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished notecard.
