Krafty Brown Sugar Tag Punched Card


Is that title long enough?  Couldn't think anything else so thought I would just give you the whole thing at the beginning.!  Anyway, I have been seeing these scalloped punched tag cards all over the place, so thought I would give it a try.  Found a video with instructions that Stampingt did, so I followed the directions and this is what happened.  I didn't think up this card, I did copy most of it but
made a few changes.  This is the card that gave me the inspiration for the notecards that I posted earlier.  Love that new gold sequin trim in the Occasions catalog.  Prettttyyyy....I tell ya!    Anyway, hope you enjoy.  Until next time,
Hugs,
Alicia

Watercolor Wonder Notecards

These cards were made as the second gift that I needed.  Again Quick and easy with the watercolor wonder notecards.  Honestly you can't get any easier.  All I did was stamp a sentiment from the Happy Waterolor stamp set onto the front and ut some washi tape on the envelopes.  Made a quick holder from our transparent sheets and then a belly band to secure it.  Ready to go!  Made the entire set in less than 15 minutes.  Can't beat that!  Hope you enjoy.  Until next time,
Hugs,

Happy Watercolor

I am really liking the Happy Watercolor stamp set in the Occasions Catalog.  It really watercolors easily and all the extra pieces and sayings i it make a perfect set to use for several different occasions.  The above card has Island Indigo, Pool Party  Sahara Sand and Real Red for the colors.  I haven't worked with this combination of colors before, so wanted to see what I could come up with.  Well, I saw this card on Pinterest and just had to make it.  Love the flower on the envelope too.  Hope you like.  Until next time,
Hugs,
Alicia

You make me Happy!




Hope everyone has had a good week.  Mine has been busy but fun since I have been creating.  I needed some quick gifts to give to 3 people so I decided to use the notecards and envies from the annual catalog.  First chance that I have had to use them and I really love them.  They are the perfect weight for the cardstock and easy to put your special embellies on!  I used the Happy Watecolor stamp from the Occasions Catalog.  For the designer paper I used the new watercolor wonder paper.  You will not be disappointed if you get it.  It is really pretty.  Saw the circle punched out on the front of a card and really liked how it looked.  After I made the cards I needed a holder so used the envelope punch board to quickly put one together using the watercolor wonder paper.  It is really simple.  Just use a 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of paper and then 3 1/8 and 4 1/8 punch score on the board.  Easy Peasy!
Hope you enjoyed.. Have a great day and until next time. 
Hugs,
Alicia

My Tim Holtz Tags of 2012

I know this is 2014 and I should be showing my tags of 2013 but truth be told, I only have 6 months from last year made so I decided to show you my tags from 2012 since I just got them mounted on canvas to display.  Hope you enjoy...It is so much fun to make these, as I learn all types of techniques and get to play with different types of materials other than Stampin Up.  If you want any deets of how to make any of these, you can find all the details on Tim Holtz's blog.  Just go to Tags of 2012 and you will see.  He is a wonderful teacher and easy to learn from.  Hope you enjoy, Until next time,
Hugs,
