LOVE TAGplorations – Day 7 – February 14, Monday

Posted on February 14, 2017 by melissadawnlane

Hi! I’m here for the 7th and final day of the LOVE TAGplorations event.

I have a pink peek-a-boo mixed media heart tag to share with you today.

I cut a tag using the CUTplorations Luggage Tags Nesting Dies. preview-stamplorations-luggagetags

I used the Hearts All Over – ARTplorations Stencil to add pink embossing paste to the larger, base tag.

I also added pink embossing paste to the small pink tag with the Dots All Over ARTplorations Stencil.

I die cut the XOXO sentiment using the CUTplorations XOXO Word Die.

I finished by adhering the tags together, attaching the top tag with a turquoise brad, and adding some turquoise twine.I had a lot of fun making this tag! Make sure you stop by and check out the STAMPlorations Girls’ superb creations!

Thanks for stopping by!

Grace & Peace,

Mermaid for CTS #140

Posted on September 13, 2015 by melissadawnlane

Hi! I’m here with a card inspired by CAS(E) This Sketch #140.

Here’s my card.

I used a NBUS mermaid stamp set that my parents sent to me. Isn’t she cute?!

I also used another NBUS stamp, from PTI’s Ahoy stamp set.

I masked off the mermaid and sponged ink on for the sky. I also used my NBUS Kuretake watercolor paints to color the mermaid. I also used some Glossy Accents and a white gel pen to do make the “splash” and a gold one to add some sparkle to the mermaid’s hair. I added silver to her tail and the water with a gel pen and more Glossy Accents to her shells too. 🙂

I’m going to play along this at CAS(E) This Sketch, Word Art Wednesday’s Challenge #200 Let’s Celebrate, Darnell’s NBUS Challenge #5 and SSS Wednesday’s Simon Says STAMPtember® Use A Stamp Challenge And Blog Hop.

I’m pretty happy with how this card turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!
XO

Guest Designer – JUGS Challenge #310 Trend Week – Balloons

Posted on September 12, 2015 by melissadawnlane

Hi! I’m excited to be here with you today with a card for Just Us Girls Challenge #310 Trend Week – Balloons.

I’m very happy to be Guest Designing for Just Us Girls for the month of September! This is my second post as JUGS’ GD this month. I hope that you enjoy the DT cards, along with mine, and are inspired to play along. 🙂

I used PTI’s Polka Dot basics II and my NBUS SU Celebrate Today stamp sets to make this card. I also used an Avery Elles’ Pinked rectangle die and the balloon die is from SU. I’m going to play along at Word Art Wednesday’s Challenge #200 Let’s Celebrate, Darnell’s NBUS Challenge #5, SSS Monday’s Stamp And Punch/Die Cut and SSS Wednesday’s Simon Says STAMPtember® Use A Stamp Challenge And Blog Hop.

I did some ink-blending on the balloon on this fun and bright birthday card. All paper and ink are Stampin’ Up, with the exception on the black ink which is VersaFine. I also used a Uni-ball Signo white gel pen to do some tracing and highlighting and a gold one to add some sparkle to the stamped confetti image on the balloon. I finished it off with a little gold enamel dot from PTI’s Make it Market : Garden Gild Set and some SU! gold thread.
