Photograph & Remember!

 Hi Crafting Friends!

I can't believe we are half way through the year - time is flying!


Today I am sharing some vintage tags using stamps and stencils available in the store along with vintage collage elements and bits and pieces.

I made the tags backgrounds with stencils, texture paste and Lindy's Magical.
Stencils used: 
Eye Stencil & Blocks Pattern both designed by Dead Sea Toons


Stamps used:
"Dots" on tag background from the Half Sheet Numbers & Flowers
Window Frame stamped onto white card and fussy cut


I then added Tim Holtz vintage "heads', some vintage ephemera, hessian, lace, acetate embellishments - they are a bit of a mix of vintage and modern which I love!

Add a die cut lacrosse stick across the paper bag and insert a gift card.

Sea Turtle Card

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.  Summer is here and bring on the beachy crafting!  One of my favorite stamp sets for this is I Brake for Stamp’s By the Sea Rubber Sheet.  It has fun images, especially this Turtle, in two sizes.

How I made this card was by first sponging blue ink over the center of my white card.  I used the same ink to stamp several of the little stamps on the back ground. I think I used the shell, the seahorse and the fish.  Then I splattered some water drops over top.


Second, I used a blue cardstock and die-cut it to a rectangle. I sponged the same blue ink around the edges here. I stamped and colored the turtle on white.  I trimmed it out.  I then added my sentiment and put the turtle right front and center.

I like to be able to mail flat cards, so I didn’t add anything else, but this card would look great with some knotted twin.

I hope you are enjoying your summer and summer crafting!

Take My Hand Walk Beside Me

 Hi Crafting Friends!

I've been doing a lot of art journal spreads for the past few months which I get a great lot of satisfaction from.

Today I am sharing an art journal inspired by @art_journallove - I have been watching a lot of inspiring videos and trying a lot of new techniques.


I've used the following products available in store:
Monarch Journal Stencil by TCW
Take My Hand Walk Beside Me set includes phrase, sun, eagle

I used the Monarch Stencil and paint to create the background on the page.


I stamped the woman's head, eagle and phrase on white cardstock and cut out.
The sun was stamped on acetate, heat set, fussy cut and painted with white on the back.


I then arranged my elements and adhered to the page along with some mark making to finish off!


I love the look of limited colours on this page.
