Embossing!

This week at Simon Say Stamp and Show some embossing! It's been awhile since I blogged! I've been so busy out in the yard and my gardens I haven't created much lately. Here is my tag for the theme this week.

I'm making a collection of tags with photos of Jeff and I and of photos of us when we were younger for a display at our wedding reception next year. Instead of making a digital slide show I thought I'd make a bunch of tags with photos on them and hang them on a line kinda like this:

After the wedding I'll put them all in a book using Tim Holtz's 3 ring binder.

I used the Vintage Wallpaper SU! embossing folder on the tag. The stamp is a Tim Holtz one that fits perfectly in the TH small hearts movers and shapers sizzix die. The border punch is a Martha Stewart one. I inked the edges of the cardstock with Milled Lavender Distress Ink.

Gingersnap Creations: GC106 Spicy Supply- Packing Materials!

Here is my Visiting Artist Project #2, for this week's Spicy Supply- Packing Materials over at Gingersnap Creations

I made a card for a friend of mine. One of the online stamp supply stores packs their shipments in this nice kraft paper. So I used that to make the tiny tags (Tiny Tags and Tab Sizzix Die) and the flowers (Tattered Florals Sizzix Die). I sprayed half with Cosmos Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and the other half with Dried Marigold Distress Reinker mixture I made. The stamps are SU! and so is the Tulip dry embossed border. Thanks for looking! Can't wait to see what everyone makes!!
