E-Team - Be Thankful - Anything But a Tag Part 2.

Mission: Create anything but a Tag.

Hello my friends, and welcome to another fun eclectic Paperie’s blog hop.  Today it’s all about Being Thankful; the E-Team has created some wonderful projects using the Fall theme.  I created a little flower arrangement, and put together a quick tutorial/video showing how this project was made.  But lets discuss the Blog Hop particulars before I get started about my project.

• Be sure and visit Daisy at eclectic Paperie™ and leave a comment for a chance to win 3(three) $20 gift vouchers to 3 random winners.  Daisy, will ask for different comments, and will give away a surprise box full of eclectic Paperie goodies.  So be sure and check it out.

Fall is my favorite time of year because of all the vibrant colors. I needed a little something for my little table, so I thought I would create a colorful Fall flower arrangement that will fit perfect.  I do need to mention the largest Sunflower die I used is no longer available (darn), but the other Sunflower die’s are.

Poinsettia Box - Spellbinders

Hello there, today I have a fun little project to share with you…  But before I begin, I wanted to let you know I’m calling this project a box, but the die template’s true name is Spellbinders™ Hexagon Petal Envelope.  So when you watch the little slideshow/video, and you hear me say box; you know what it really is LOL!!  I’m not going to go into to much detail here, because it’s all on the video.  This is my first attempt at making a narrarated slideshow, and in the beginning I sound like I'm in a well, but I figured out how to work with my software program, and my acoustics improved :)  I really enjoyed making this slideshow, it was easier for me than a true video, because it’s faster to make, and to upload. 

Thanks for visiting today, and I hope you enjoy the show.

Flower Tag - Spellbinders

Before I started this project, I picked the Spellbinders die templates I wanted to use, which would determine how big the tag base needed to be.  Since Donna Salazar's Shadow Flowers die is tall, I knew I needed my tag a tad bigger, so I could add lace at the bottom.  Everything on this tag was made using Pink Paislee’s Butterfly Garden Collection, except the flower, it was made using Memory Box Minuet Sheet Music.  Oh, and that wonderful flower… I love Donna’s Rose Creations die template…  you will be seeing lots of them on my projects from now on.  She just released a new flower die template called, Grand Peony Creations, it’s wonderful as well.  

It was hard to get a good picture so you can see all the little details, I believe the papers are so close in style is the reason, but in real life…  it’s truly one of my favorite projects.

Kindness

Hello there it's Monday, and time for Mojo Monday 194 sketch, and I'm actually finished with my card LOL!.  I truly love today's sketch, and couldn't resist making one of my paper roses :) I used Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Squares to make the scallops (see pictures below).  The only thing I did different was put my bow next to the rose instead of the other side of the card as the sketch photo shows here.

Butterfly Picture Frame - Spellbinders

Well, what do this think of the new blog look?  I received so many emails from you about my last banner being so dark, I thought I would change it once again.  The banner above is called Garden Girl, isn't she lovely, so vintage don't you think?  I can't take any credit for it except for picking it out.  The sweet young lady who created it is from Singapore, she has a Etsy Store so you can pick out what you like, plus if you need assistance uploading it to your blog, she can help you with that also.  Thank you Viola, for making such beautiful art.

The project I'm sharing with you today is a picture frame filled with lots goodies.  I haven't a clue what picture i'm going to put in it, but I sure enjoyed making it.  I started off making a card, by the time I put everything I wanted on it, it was much bigger then a card LOL!   I'm going to go through each eliment for you below: 

Butterfly:

Place Spellbinders Fanciful Flight die templet on your patterned cardstock, cut/emboss. Using the same die trace around the outside edge only this time on Wendy's Clearly Art Molding Film, cut out with sicissors, then attach to the first cut/embossed butterfly, and heat and shape.  With a separate sheet of cardstock (same as step one) trace around the outside edge, cut out using your sicissors.  Assemble by gluing together as shown in picture five. 

Flower Images:  All of the floral images in this project were scraps of webster's pages cardstock I had left over from prior projects, I just couldn't throw in the trash (listed below). 

Tissue Flower:  With Spellbinders Standard Circle die templet, cut multiple layers of tissue paper, then place a small amount of glue in the center of each one.  When dry lightly color with the Copic Markers.  Ruffel each layer pulling toward the center. Glue to white doily that is also colored with the same markers used in the flower. 

Center Doily: I had so much fun making this eyelet doily using Spellbinders Eyelte die template.  I cut/embossed the doily with vellum, then embossed it again using Spellbinders Flowers Impressabilities so I would have more of a lacy look, and lightly colored it with the same color of Copic Markers I used on the tissue flower above. It's so pretty in real life..

Arrange as shown.

Crafty Secrets card CHA

Hello, here is a card I made for CHA 2011 in California and forgot to post it...  I just love how soft it is, and the colors are some of my favorites.  I have all supplies listed below for your convenience, and don't forget you can click on the picture for a larger view.  I receive lots of private emails asking what I've used on my projects, and I always have that information at the very end of my post with links.

One last thing, this is kinda touchy for me, and I don't quite know how to address it, so please don't take this wrong way. Recently I've received many private emails from a lot of you asking why I started covering up some of the detail with my watermark...  My answer is simple, but can sound harsh to many, and taken the wrong way, please know that is not my intent at all. I've had to start putting my watermark in the middle of my work because I've had my projects/tutorials showing up on other blogs without my permission...  I'm truly honored they enjoy my work, but being considerate and asking permission is another thing.  I enjoy sharing everything I create with you, I always have and always will that will never change. However, if you want to use my work, just ask.   A BIG thank you to all of you who have let me know this is happening...

Merry Christmas Tag - Spellbinders

Hello, It's been a while hasn't it? I've had things going on here at home so I've been out of the loop for a few days, but, I'm here today to share another Christmas Tag with you. Must of our friends that received Christmas Wine tags from us each year have requested either the Rose or Poinsettias on their tags LOL... That's an easy request for me, but I do share all of my tags with you so you will be seeing many between now and Christmas Day ;)

The main reason for my absents is because I haven't been feeling well, and it's been dragging out for quite some time. Two weeks ago I attended a City Council meeting, and the crown on my top back tooth came off. That happened on Thursday, and I couldn't get in to see the Dentist till the following Tuesday. To my surprise I had an infection up under that crown so they think that is the reason for my bad headaches, and sinus issues over the last couple of months... I have been on med's for a week, so I'm starting to feel like my old self again, and want to create. Thanks for continuing to visit my blog through my dry spell, I do appreciate it very much.

Making these Christmas Tags for our friends over the last couple of years has become a tradition, so I try to match them to the receivers decor/personally/requests. Many of us like the same kind a colors, but there are a few that really take me outside the box for sure. This particular tag has the colors of my home on it, and the receiver loves them almost as much as I do. Many of you that follow my blog may find my love for these colors a surprise because I love working with pink so much, but my home has a hubby, and pink would not go over to well. Our home is decorated with a Tuscan/Spanish mission style with deep rich royal colors. The crochet lace at the bottom of the tag started off ivory, but I used VersaMark ink and gold embossing powder on it, then heat set to tone down the bright ivory to match the rest of the project. Be careful when you use your heat tool on the lace because it can and will burn. The green leafy and gold stick like things I bought at Michael's and I have tons of the stuff. So I need to use it because I really have no place to store it. One more thing, If you were to ask me if I made any mistakes on this tag, I would say adding the Mica chips to the flower. Normally when I work with Mica chips, I mash the bag so there are no big chunks in it, but that is something I forgot to do this time. The pieces are to big and really take away for the flower, so I tried to pick most of it off.

Thanks again for visiting, and always be creative - Linda ♥

Wine bottle with Tag - Spellbinders

Hello everybody, I hope you are enjoying your weekend ☺. My weekend has been non productive for sure. I was off last Friday tried making a few things for my blog, but my Mojo was no where to be found LOL, everything ended up in the trash, so I just quite wasting my supplies, and started cleaning the house. Saturday, wasn't looking much better as far as finding my Mojo, but I kept trying, and finally started getting into things when my oldest daughter and granddaughter came over for a surprise visit, and ended up staying all night because Kelly (her husband) was out of town for the evening, so we were very blessed with their visit. All we do when we get together is laugh LOL... So, today we got up and my DH made everyone biscuits and gravy, it's what all the kids want when they stay all night. All of us think grandpa's gravy is the the best ever.

For my project today, I thought I would show you what my tags actually look like hanging from the bottle of wine we give as gifts. As you can see, this one touches the ground... a little to long, but it will work. The image is from Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps - Christmas 07. I love their new double sided scraps that's why I used it for my background. I did use Copic Markers on the Santa face. The color of the ribbon, glitter and cardstock match the bottle perfectly.

Thanks for visiting today, and be creative my friends. Linda ♥
