25 Tags of Occassion Inspiration and TGIF Challenge #81

Just a quick post so that I can get these challenges that I created this weekend up. I actually had a bit of inspiration!!

The first is my tag that was inspired by Laura's tag from Lil' Inker Designs.


I chose to use a blue and white color scheme rather then red and white. I did not have the products that Laura used so I improvised. I used the "Flurry" Fri-die and the "Tag Buddies" Fri-dies from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps for this tag.

I am entering this in Tracey McNeely's "25 Tags of Christmas" challenge that she has on her blog.
If you have not stopped by, RUN. There are some AWESOME tags on her blog!!

I also made a card for the TGIF #18.


I used My Favorite Things "Soda Pop" stamps and dies to create this. I created the bottles by smooshing distress ink and die cutting with the "Soda Pop" dies.


I had a lot of fun using stuff from my stash on this card. I dug out my Doodlebug Paper Frills in green for the border.


I also used a sticker that I had lying around for the sentiment. It looks wonky in this photo but I fixed it so it is now straight!!


Well, that is all for tonight!! Thank you for stopping by!!

Happy Sunday!!

It is Sunday here and I have spent most of the day in my craft room. I actually got around to photographing some cards I created last weekend. Photo editing is NOT my favorite thing!!!

I have OFFICIALLY put myself on a no buy challenge as I have been spending way too much money again on things I do not really need. I have so much that I have never even touched that it is ridiculous that I buy more. Anyone else like this?

I have been doing Kathy's 30 Day Coloring Challenge at The Daily Marker but have yet to upload any of my stuff. I am slowly going through my stamp sets that I haven't used to make sure they see some ink.

 Here are two birthday cards that I made last weekend. One was using My Favorite Things Soda Pop dies, the Bottle Cap dies and matching stamps. I made a TON of smooshed bottles in different colors so you will be seeing more cards from this collection in the future!!


The sentiment strip on the bottom was done by masking and then ink blending. I really love the way it came out!!


I am planning on making a set of these cards to give to someone as I think they are too fun.

My second card I made to send to my friend for her birthday. It is the same design as the card here but I did it in different colors.


I like the original card a lot better as the colors are more me. I created this card to go with a bunch of cards I made for my friend in this color scheme though.


I used Ranger Distress Specialty Paper for the white background. While it took the distress ink nicely, it did not do well with the Distress Sprays. I will not be using it again if I am going to use the sprays on my card.

On another note, I think age is frying my brain lately. We missed my niece's birthday party last night because I put it in my calendar for NEXT weekend. I was sick so we didn't go when I realized my mistake but I feel really bad. I am such a DORK!!

I thank you for stopping by my blog today. Have a great night!!

Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #20

It is the 15th of the month and it is time for another Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge.

I had fun creating my card with some products I have never used before.


I decided to use the bottom row across-use punssweets and smooshing technique.


I have had these stamps and dies from My Favorite Things for months and just broke them out to make this card. Soda is considered sweet, right?

I started out by creating the paper I used for the die cut bottles with the smooshing technique. I used "Squeezed Lemonade," "Scattered Straw," "Dried Marigold," and "Mustard Seed" Distress ink with some water and a bit of Speedball gold. I let it dry and die cut six bottles using MFT's "Soda Pop" dies, using two for this card.


I then stamped and die cut the star and the orange from the matching "Soda Pop" stamp set. I added them over some wraps I made from card stock.


I added the bottles over a background that I blended "Tumbled Glass" and "Peacock Feathers" Distress ink over and die cut "Blueprints #27." The pun sentiment was stamped using a stamp also from the "Soda Pop" stamp.


To finish the card off, I adhered some orange and clear sequins onto the card, adding a bit of Stickles over the top.

I LOVE how this came out and I am gong to make a few more with some different colors but that will be for another day!
