Christmas Tags

Scrap of Your Life Christmas in July Event - Project Four

This project is quick and easy making Christmas Tags, however be warned, be prepared to have glitter everywhere :-) 



Here is a photo of the goodies I used for this project.



You can purchase all different size tags, so it is up to you what size you want your tags to be, for my project I used 4 1/2 inch tags cut out using my Cricut (Tags, bags and more cartridge) - I LOVE this cartridge and use it quite a lot. The size was ideal for the stamp I wanted to use.

Once I cut out my tags, I placed them on my stamparatus and stamped the Christmas Tree Stamp from Studio Light. I used two different Archival Ink colours for the two tags, Fern Green on one and Olive on the other.




Once I stamped my image, I then stamped the back of the tag using the same Archival Ink and stamped "To and From"using the Ranger Letter Christmas Stamp set.



I then added some special delivery washi, only using the Dec 25 portion of it, cutting off the special delivery and saving that for another project. I then applied Liquid Drops 3D Pearls in Icing Fisher and Brass on the tree to create a bauble effect.

Then I applied Prima Christmas in Country Say it with Crystals in red, green and gold, and A Christmas word sticker from my sticker collection. Love these crystals! 

Once completed, I added the gold trim ribbon to the top of the tag and the Champagne Glass Glitter (Stampin Up) on the edge of the entire tag using a two-way glue pen.

And here are the finished Tags - I really love how quick and easy they were, and how cute they ended up being.





Happy Crafting

Hello, welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations Blog, where I hope to be able to inspire you with my creations so you can come along with me on my journey! I am super excited to be part of  Scrap Of Your Life  Design Team, a very first for me, so I am a little nervous, however I am looking forward to the next 6 months and the exciting projects and inspiration I can bring to you. A little about me.....I have been crafting since I was around 18 years old (a long time ago) or thereabouts, and not always with paper crafts. I actually started cross-stitching, which then lead me into making teddy bears with embroidery on them. From here I moved into paper crafts, being introduced to Crafty Kids at the time and absolutely loved what they offered. I then met some wonderful, creative people along the way attending various craft workshops and enjoyed being with like minded people and creating to our hearts content. I have developed some wonderful friendships along the way, and created many vario

Halloween Tags and Cards

Halloween! Spooky and scary.........unfortunately not something I am greatly into, although I have to say I did enjoy making these tags and cards using the awesome Simple Stories Say Cheese Halloween 12x12 paper and the the cute Hey Pumpkin Stickers. I created the tags first using Dylusions ready made tags in Black and chose a background for one from the Simple Stories sheet and the other I used a square stencil and used my orange blush nuvo mousse and created a raised bakcground at the top and bottom of the tag. They are so easy and simple to make, just using the papers, adding dimensional under the Boo Eek wording, tying some black and orange twine, adding glitter with glue and a little bit of Dylusions white spray set it off, then I added some of the stickers. The second tag, I used the same colour nuvo mousse with a splatter stencil and added that at the top and a little at the bottom, some Halloween washi tape and the skeleton acetate.   For the cards, I used some colourful brads

Polystyrene circle base and Lemon Craft Silence Papers

When I was sent this polystyrene circle base, at first I thought, "what does Julie expect me to do with this", so a little treat of white chocolate put me in a head space to create a picture perfect scenery using the Lemon Craft Silence paper collection, which is just so pretty. This project required some fussy cutting, and you know I am not a huge fan of fussy cutting, although my patience with this didn't wear thin, and I actually enjoyed it, maybe it was the combination of pretty papers, coffee and yes, as mentioned the white chocolate :-)  Firstly I started by tracing the circle base on one of the papers that already had a slight pink tinge through it, and then added more pink using the Tim Holtz spun sugar distress ink, this really made the paper pop. Once that was done, I added a strip of paper on the bottom of the base to add some colour. I then added some Webster fabric ribbon found in my stash that was just perfect for this project. I added a strip at the top of
