Stencil Sunday April 23

      Hi! I’m here with a quick post for today’s STAMPlorations Stencil Sunday.

This is also a reminder that you have a few days to play along with this month’s Mixed Media Challenge.

I have a tag to share with you today. To make this tag, I used an ARTplorations stencil, tinted embossing pastes, inks, watercolor paints, twine, a die cut sentiment and some rhinestones.

   I cut a tag using the CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Dies.

I started making my tag by stamping the bird from STAMPlorations Trendy Birds 2, carefully fussy cutting the image and inking it up the stamp with a variety of colors.

Then, I used the ARTplorations stencil Retro Circles.

I used the CUTplorations Love Word Die.

LOVE TAGplorations – Day 5 – February 12, Sunday

Hi! I’m here for the 5th day of the LOVE TAGplorations event.  The event will last for 7 days, with the final day being Valentine’s Day. The STAMPlorations Girls will be showcasing love-themed or Valentine’s Day tags or projects which include tags. You can play along too!

I have a CAS, tagged, Valentine’s Day card to share with you today.

 This makes me think of a balloon, celebrations (like the Patriots winning the Super Bowl) and my husband who is a career military officer and, in my opinion, a hero. I think that this might be his Valentine’s Day card.

 I sponged red ink onto the white card base using the Zen Hearts ARTplorations stencil.

I cut a tag using the CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Dies.

I have a discount code for you. Shery, of STAMPlorations, has generously given me a code to share.

STAMPGIRLMELISSA

I also die cut a stencil using the CUTplorations XOXO Word Die.  I sponged a pinkish-red ink through my homemade stencil onto the tag.

I finished by hole punching through the card and the tag and adding some red and white twine.

I had a lot of fun making this tagged card! Make sure you stop by and check out the STAMPlorations Girls’ superb creations!

Thanks for stopping by!

LOVE TAGplorations – Day 3 – February 10, Friday

Hi! I’m here for the 3rd day of the LOVE TAGplorations event.  The event will last for 7 days, with the final day being Valentine’s Day. The STAMPlorations Girls will be showcasing love-themed or Valentine’s Day tags or projects which include tags. You can play along too!

I have a non-traditional Valentine’s Day tag to share with you today. I used some fabulous dark blue cardstock that I bought at a shop in my mother’s hometown of Dunoon, Scotland. I’d like to thank Valerie of Coleman Cards & Crafts for the excellent selection of lovely heavyweight cardstock that she keeps in stock.

 

 I heat embossed in white, using my new Zen Hearts ARTplorations stencil.

To make the top of my tag, I did some partial die cutting using the CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Dies.

I finished by fussy cutting out the rest of the heart and adding some blue and white twine.

I had a lot of fun making this tagged card! Make sure you stop by and check out the STAMPlorations Girls’ superb creations!

Thanks for stopping by!

LOVE TAGplorations – Day 2 – February 9, Thursday

Hi! I’m here for the 2nd day of the LOVE TAGplorations event.  The event will last for 7 days, with the final day being Valentine’s Day. The STAMPlorations Girls will be showcasing love-themed or Valentine’s Day tags or projects which include tags. You can play along too! 

Here’s my very traditional Valentine’s Day tag:

I made my tag using the CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Dies.

Then, I die cut 2 stencils using the CUTplorations XOXO Word Die and the Hugs Word Die. I sponged red ink through my homemade stencils.

I love making my own stencils with CUTplorations word dies. Here’s a photo from a previous project.

I have a fun discount code for you! Shery, of STAMPlorations, has generously given me a code to share.

Use COUPON code STAMPGIRLMELISSA

upon checkout and

receive 20% OFF at STAMPlorations.

I used the lovely CUTplorations Clustered Hearts Die

and added the negative pieces of the die cut to embellish the bottom part of the tag.

Check out the bottom of this post for the details of the 20% off coupon.

I added some red and white twine. I decided that my tag needed to wear some

itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie scarlet polka-dot washi-ni,

so I added a bit of that.

😉

I had a lot of fun making this tag and I hope that you enjoyed seeing it. Please make sure you stop by and check out the STAMPlorations Girls’ superb creations!

Thanks for stopping by!

Melissa
