Scrapy Land Challenge #24 - Pockets/Tags (create a pocket or include a tag)

It is time for a new challenge at the Scrapy Land Blog.  Challenge #24 is Pockets/Tags – Create a pocket or include a tag (using any brand of die Scrapy Land sells).  While shopping for a birthday celebration I found a gift bag with a little pocket on the front and this inspired my project for today.

I started with a yellow polka-dot gift bag and added a square pocket to the front with a window die cut with Spellbinders’ Decorative Labels One.  Spellbinders’ D-Lites Medallion 4 was cut from pink and white and tucked under the pocket and Blooms One from yellow to create the flowers.

Spellbinders’A2 Divine Eloquence die was used to create the pink tag by cutting out the top half and then trimming the sides to create the length of tag wanted.   Spellbinders’ CrissCross die was cut from white and layered on top of the tag and a piece of honeycomb was placed at the top to give the appearance of a cupcake since that was the party theme.  

The sentiment was stamped on a bright pink square and added to the tag, along with a yellow bow using a Crisp Bows die from Memory Box.

Here is the completed bag I used for my friend’s birthday gift.  I used decorative napkins in place of tissue paper.  I think she was pleased with the bag and the gift.

Color Bursts With The Tree Scene Image

Color Bursts are one of the latest coloring mediums and create amazing backgrounds. This card uses Pthalo Green and Ultramarine Blue with the Tree Scene. Since these colors can spread very easily, I masked the sky to color the trees and then masked the trees and ground to color the sky. Dimensional Glue was used to add Bridal glitter to the snowy areas of the tree.

The colored scene was layered behind a dry embossed layer with an oval window edged with Dimensional Glue and more Bridal glitter

The deer from the Reindeer set were colored and fussy cut and popped up over the scene along the bottom of the oval opening.

Then a second layer, with scored lines on both sides of 1/8” Tearific Tape covered with Bridal glitter and a large rectangular window, was layered on this.

Scrapy Land Challenge #23

It is time for challenge #23 at the Scrappy Land blog and the theme is Anything Goes PLUS using any brand of die Scrapy Land sells.  Sue Wilson just had a new release and when I saw her Christmas Scene Mini Background die, I just had to have it and used it for today’s card.

I used a kraft colored base, with Sparkle EP around the edges.  I cut two of the dies from light blue and popped these up over a solid blue rectangle, also covered with Sparkle EP.  The sentiment is from Sparkle N Sprinkle’s Christmas Poinsettia stamp set and was embossed on the center circle with Candlelight EP.

Next I die cut Die-Versions Whispers Deer Ornaments die from craft cardstock and cut it apart to create one ornament and two individual deer.  These were also covered with Sparkle EP and popped up on the card front.

Now it is your turn.  Pull out those dies and start creating.

Let's Negotiate!

 

 Time for another Christmas card idea, using the Christmas Goose stamp set. He’s a fun little character and I used the digital version for my card.

I colored him with alcohol markers and die cut him with Spellbinders’ Wonky Rectangles, sponging ink around the edges before removing it from the die. This was layered on a slightly larger red die cut with Firecracker Red embossing powder added to the edges using the Distressed Embossing Powder technique. This is added to the card front that is layered with designer paper and red cardstock, also edged with the Firecracker Red EP. A little sparkle was added to the lightbulbs on the designer paper and the goose image, using a glue pen and Sparkle EP.

The sentiment was handled the same as the image and popped up with dimensional tape. Mini Christmas Bulb garland was wrapped around the sentiment and the bottom of the card.
