Beauty Tag

Happy Wednesday!

For today's post, I've created this pretty Beauty Tag. To create the tag, I've used a variety of dies and stencils from the new release from the Art Journal Specials 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 tag from the Butterfly Pocket Insert die out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Ink the edges of the tag using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Cut a piece of book page that measures 2 7/8" x 4 5/8". Use a corner rounder to round all four corners of the cut book page piece. Ink the edges of the book page using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Flower Power Die, you'll need to choose two of the flowers. Die cut one flower out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the other flower out of kraft cardstock.

From the Decorative Insert die, die cut one of the hearts twice out Watercolour Cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the two hearts.

Die cut one of the floral pieces from the Floral Insert Die out of a piece of Watercolour cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the floral piece.

Choose one of the girls from the Funky Chicks Stamp. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the girl stamp and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette, colour the girl in. Once the girl has dried, fussy cut her out. Ink the edges of the girl using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Journal Words Stamp Set you'll need the Beauty Word. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the beauty word and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Fussy cut the word out. Ink the edges of the word using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the book page piece to the tag.

Adhere the three floral pieces to the left hand side of the tag as desired.

Use foam squares to adhere the girl 1/2" from the left and 1/4" from the bottom of the tag. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the beauty word 1/8" from the right and 1/4" from the bottom of the tag.

Adhere the hearts as desired amongst the flowers and girl.

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 Beauty Tag.

Sunshine, Relax, Sea Card

Happy Tuesday!

For today's post, I've created this pretty Sunshine, Relax, Sea Card perfect to send to a loved one or a friend with a little note in it. To create the card, I've used a variety of stamps, dies 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 card at home. 

To start, die cut a 3 1/2" Fitted Indented Square out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Apply the Waves stencil to the left hand side of the square. Using a palette knife, put Texture Paste Opaque Matte through the stencil. Once the stenciled image has dried, sprinkle Turquoise Magenta Nuance Powder. Spritz the powder with water. After the powder has dried, apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Sunshine and Sea words from the Journal Words stamp set and stamp on the bottom right side of the square as desired. Just remember that the word relax will be going in the middle of the two words. Ink the edges of the square using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Choose a piece of patterned paper from the Worn Wood Paper Pack. Die cut the 3 3/4" Stitched Indented Square out of the patterned paper piece. Ink the edges of the square using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Water Creatures Stamp Set, you'll need the starfish and bubble stamps. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the starfish stamp and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the bubbles stamp and stamp onto the same piece of watercolour cardstock. Reapply ink to the bubbles stamp and stamp onto the same piece of watercolor cardstock. Colour the starfish and bubbles in using a waterbrush and the Watercolor Palette. Fussy cut the starfish and bubbles out. Ink the edges of the images using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Relax stamp from the Journal Words stamp set 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.

From the Summer Journal Specials Die, die cut two seahorses, two leaves and one of each of the coral pieces out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Colour the die cut images using a waterbrush and the Watercolor Palette. 

Adhere the 3 1/2" square to the 3 3/4" square.

Adhere one bubble 1" from the right and 1/4" from the bottom of the 3 1/2" square. Adhere the two leaves to the left of the bubble as desired.

Foam square the other bubble 5/8" from the bottom and all the way to the left hand side of the 3 1/2" square. Adhere a seahorse slightly underneath the bubble you just foam squared to the square. Adhere one of the coral pieces in between the two bubbles.

Adhere the other coral piece to the left of the adhered coral piece as desired. Foam square the starfish overtop of the two coral pieces. Adhere the last seahorse in amongst the coral pieces and seahorse as desired. 

Foam square the remaining bubbles as desired in amongst the leaves and seahorses. Foam square the Relax word in between the Sunshine and Sea words.

Cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 3 3/4" x 7 1/2", score at 3 3/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
