Tiny tag embellishments

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a little project to share using a stamp set, StazOn black ink, shrink plastic and alcohol inks to create tiny tag embellishments.


Below is the stamp set I used to create them.


I stamped each word on to a piece of shrink plastic using the black StazOn ink. 

I then trimmed down each word and used a punch to add a small hole at the top of each tag before heating them. The word will curl up when heating but don’t be alarmed as it will flatten out if you continue to heat just a little bit longer.


When it was cooled I added a tiny bit of alcohol ink to the back side of each shrunken piece being careful not to let it drip onto the front side of the tag. If the alcohol ink drips onto the front of the word it will start to erase the inked word.




Below are the colours of Alcohol inks that I used.


To give you an idea of the finished sizes the word Christmas measures 1.25” and the word 
Hope is 3/4” when shrunken down.
You can see from the first photo the size of each stamp and then the finished sizes.



Well that’s it for my tiny tag embellishments. 

Hope you liked them and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Cool dude

Hi everyone,

Today I have a fun card to share with this awesome dude which I have named Frank.
I started by die cutting all the pieces and colouring and assembling them.


The woodgrain background panel was die cut for the and coloured with Distress inks and then a layer of Distress Sparkle paste added over top.


I took an Idea-ology frame and added some red ink to the edges and some snow at the bottom with Distress paste,


I added a plaid panel to my black piece of card stock and then onto a red card base.


The panel behind the frame is an Idea-ology Kraft stock Blackout piece of card stock sprayed with Distress Mica spray stain.

I added a little silver bell with red and white twine to the reindeer and that’s it for this card.
Thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻

Noel & Joy

 Hi everyone,

Today I have 2 cards to share using a bunch of different products and some watercolour ink smooshing.


I started by die cutting the words in green and red felt.
To each of the word backgrounds I used a piece of Idea-ology Christmas wallpaper and applied some Distress Sparkle paste over top.

I ink smooshed the backgrounds onto a piece of watercolour card stock. When dry I sprayed with a bit of Distress spray stain.



When dry I added a stencil to each of the backgrounds and applied Distress texture paste,


Before adding the paste I embossed the panel  with a stitched rectangle die piece.




Also before the stencil and paste I stamped some words in the same colour of Distress inks on to each panel.



I added glossy accents to each of the stars and berries and sprinkled with a bit of Distress Clear Rock Candy glitter.




Well that’s it for my cards today and thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻
