Peace

Bit hard to photograph this as it's part acetate.
Papermill Direct are currently running a tag competition, here.

I edged a piece of acetate with white Stazon ink and then stamped it with a stamp from SU Gorgeous Grunge set.
The sentiment is a PTI die and I cut it twice, layered it, then covered with glitter.

The 'peace' part was glued to the front of the tag, then three pieces of card layered and glued to the back.

Pine-cone Tag

Another tag for the Papermill Direct challenge.

This time I've used Whispers markers to directly colour on to a Hero Arts stamp. I scattered some chunky embossing enamel over the tag and heated (from underneath to stop it blowing away) to create 'snow'.

The sentiment is a Papertrey Ink die that has been cut twice and layered for a shadow effect, and then glazed with Glossy Accents.
Faux stitching and a little distress ink round the edges of the tag to finish.

Christmas tags

There's a challenge on Papermill Direct's website to create Christmas tags.
I've made a few different ones, here's the first and probably the most simple; I don't always want the tag to compete with the wrapping paper!

Using a Nestabilities die I cut one circle from brown card that I had first embossed with a folder and then one from shimmery white card. I used a scalloped circle die at the top of the white circle to make the 'icing'.
An old Sizzix die cut the holly from glitter card and then a smidge of Glamour Dust to finish.

I've attached a piece of cord at the back and cut a smaller circle of white card to hide this and give a nice writing surface.

Pink Roses

Another card for the 'pink' challenge.

Papers are Tilda, I've added some rose gold Frantage chunky embossing powder.
Dies are Memory Box.

Celebrate

This is for a 'pink' challenge over on CM&P

Celebrate is a Sizzix die, flowers are Prima.

Silhouette

Another card for the silhouette challenge on CM&P

I've had the die-cut ages so no idea where it came from originally, sentiment stamp is 'Madame Chic' by Butterfly Kisses.

Tag Challenge

Please click on photo to make it bigger, when I tried to upload it a better size it hit
everything on the right of my blog!

I made this for a tag challenge on the Waltzingmouse blog.
You can enter as many times as you wish and there is a fabulous prize for the winner.
I love their stamps and their customer service is excellent, definitely recommend paying the gallery a visit!

So, I used a Waltzingmouse Very Vintage Labels No.4 stamp and combined it with 'Season's Greetings' from the Very Vintage Christmas stamp set.
The patterned paper I have had ages and suspect it was a fill-a-box job. The snowflake is Papermania and I got the marabou feather from Ebay. I added some self-adhesive pearls and faux stitching.
