Pretty Cute Stamps Monthly Challenge - Include a Ribbon

Today starts a new Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge! This month the challenge is to include a ribbon on you project.

 



I used to use ribbon on my cards a lot. However, I then moved to twine and then nothing. So to make sure I used ribbon on my project, the easiest thing for me to do is to make a tag.

 

 

I decided to use a fancy die to create the tag. I used the die on printed paper and plain cardstock. The two pieces are glued together. I used the Knit Happens stamp set and paper-pieced the image with a variety of papers. A simple sentiment is stamped on strips of paper and attached to the tag.

Pretty Cute Stamps Monthly Challenge Rules:

This month's theme is Love. So, create any thank you themed project using Pretty Cute Stamps. A Pretty Cute Stamp must be used to create the project.

Hugs & Kisses Gift Tag

Hello, DCWV friends! It is Jessi from the DCWV Social Media Design Team! Can you believe that it is already February?!? Where did January go? With that being said, Valentine's Day is right around the corner!

 

I am one who waits to the end of a deadline to get things done. It is a bad quality I have, but I do think sometimes it is some of my best work. With that being said, I also wait to the last minute to buy gifts and things. Which means last-minute wrapping happens as well!

I found some beautiful gold/red/kraft chipboard tags that would be perfect for those Valentine's gifts. They just needed some extra bling before they are ready to be added to the gift! So I dug out some gold foil cardstock from my scraps and got to work!

 

Back in December, when I was working on my Daily December albums using the DCWV DIY Project Holiday Favor Boxes stack, I saved all my scraps, especially the gold cardstock! I knew that the gold would come in handy when I needed to add some bling to a project. I took the scrap and ran it through the die machine to create the word embellishment to add to the tag.

 



 

I wanted to extended the sentiment, so I stamped and embossed the rest onto DCWV black cardstock. The card was cut into a strip, embossed and attached to the tag. I cut the end to hang over the edge of the tag. The word 'hugs' is glued overlapping part of the black strip. The final touch for the tag was to add a simple mirrored heart embellishment from the DCWV Mini Adhesive Mirrors packet.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful!

Joy Clair - Glad Tidings

Today on the Joy Clair blog, the design team is showcasing the Glad Tidings stamp set. It is so inspirational to see what different designs the DT comes up with using the same stamp set!

I love the string of lights stamp. I decided to use it for a gift tag.

 

 

The string of light image is stamped a few times to cover the tag. The bulbs are colored with traditional Christmas light colors. A white gel pen is used on each bulb. The 'to' and 'from' are stamped in white ink on black cardstock strips. The string for the tag is black twine.

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Please stop by the Joy Clair blog to see the rest of the DT Glad Tidings stamp set.

I am not a real tag maker, but I like how simple this one turned out to be!

Visible Image Bookmark

Hello, everyone! So I had to go out-of-town for a few days and was able to pick up a book for the first time in a LONG time! As I took my first reading break, I realized that I didn't have a bookmark and had to bend the page (one of my pet-peeves)!

So Visible Image to the rescue! Who likes to curl up and ready a book while sipping a cup of hot coffee or for me hot chocolate!

Here is the bookmark I created using Visible Image's Tea for 2 stamp set:

The tag is created using a Spellbinder die cut. The background is created using Visible Image's Gingham background stamp. The cup is paper-pieced using patterned papers for Lily Bee Designs.
The sentiment is made using alpha letter stickers. A tassel is made out of a colorful twine.

There is still time to enter the Visible Image's Monthly Challenge. The theme is LOVE. Check out the details HERE.

What to see more Visible Image inspiration? Check out our BLOG or join our FACEBOOK group!

I am sad to announce that this is my last post for Visible Image. They have been a great company to design for and I wish them the best in what I know will be a successful future!

Have a wonderful day!
