Thought a little watermelon would be cute (especially for summer) using Summer Doodles. The watermelon is precolored. The sentiment is from Design Bundles. I used Print 2 Cut with a Laced Frame from Monica's Creative Room for the background. I added a few leaves to balance the design.
I knew the majority of today would be dedicated to some crafting - I have so many special cards to get made. Amazing that I have hundreds of cards in my stash, but nothing appropriate for when I actually need to send a card. I sometimes look at the cards in my stash and wonder what I was thinking when I created those! Today I went for the adorable Little Turled from 2 Cute Inks...his shell paper pieced digitally and ready to go out to make someone's day. Woo Hoo! Something a little different for me - so it was fun!
Every month Stick It Down adds new sketches for a challenge. For the single-page layout this month, I added digital washi tape as a border to my background. I cut out three tags with my Eclips. The tags and background are from We Are 3.
A new challenge starts today at the Eclips Users Group with the theme of Spring Tags. Who doesn't get a warm, fuzzy feeling from a colorful heart?
I don't know about you, but I struggle with Christmas tags. This tag features some gold-foiled papers from Paper Studio. I printed the leafy frame hoping to capture the same gold color - but it printed as brown. A gold paint pen to the rescue. I attached a sentiment that I printed from Love SVG.
Merry Christmas! Today we are celebrating the 10th Day of Christmas Tags - and what better way to do that than to share a creative tag using things from my stash!
The candle and holly are colored digitally.
Here's some inspiration for the Ecal Users Group using some images from 2 Cute Ink.
Well, I finally found some time to play with Stick It Down this month. I used Free Digital Scrapbooking's April Showers. The embellishments are pandas from Kadoodle Bug - the tooth is just clipart. The titles are computer generated. I had a ball this weekend scrapbooking, inspired by a virtual crop - I'm in my happy place when I'm scrapbooking!
It's Virtual Crop Weekend at Creative Memories with lots of inspiration with sketch challenges. Always a fun weekend. No prizes for me as I did not use Creative Memories papers - for this layout I used the Kawaii Ornament Digi Kit from Little Scraps of Heaven. I cut the heart and title on my Eclips. I used Print2Cut for the Christmas embellishments. Instant Christmas! Just about all the embellishments came from my stash. Woohoo - would love to see that stash disappear! Be sure to visit the Creative Memories Virtual Crop Facebook page to see what everyone has made to inspire you and join in the fun tomorrow and Sunday for more fun.
It's the January Challange at the Eclips Users Group sponsored by Dreaming Tree, Creative Fabrica, and Simply Crafty. No surprise that I FINALLY created a layered mandala from Special Heart Studio. I printed my own shades of red using the color correction function on Word - yes, surprised that I did not use an entire cartridge of red ink! LOL!
Is everyone set for Christmas? Have any Jeep owners on your gift list? Well, here's an idea for you. In case you haven't heard, there is this phenomenon among Jeep owners - along with their traditional wave - they are now "ducking" other Jeep owners. For my Ubly friends, it's much like "Flamingoing!" My sister - a Jeep owner - is celebrating her birthday today. So one of my birthday gifts for her is a set of ducking tags. The tradition generally includes actual rubber ducks - but I've read articles about people finding carrying those to be inconvenient - she can always add those if she wishes. These, however, she'll be able to throw in her purse.
And, finally, the message on the back reads, "YOU'VE BEEN DUCKED BY A FELLOW JEEPER! With all the crazy in the world, take a moment to smile! Take a photo and post on Facebook #DuckDuckJeep" I had a ball designing this tag. I hope this inspires other Jeep owners. Of course, I'm already thinking about Easter Eggs I can include....like the shape of Neebish Island on the fender.
Hers actually won't have the holly on the front fender - I added that for a Christmas tag challenge with the Eclips Users Group earlier this month.
Hope you all are enjoying the 12 Tags of Christmas! It's Day 11, which means there's just two more tags to share at the Eclips Users Group. Today I'm showcase a sticker I think I purchased when I first started papercrafting about 15 years ago! In fact, I bought these stickers at Ben Franklin - I miss that place!!!! The scalloped edge behind it is cut with my Eclips using Tag Decor Background from My Treasured Kutz. Simple - but love how it looks!!!!
It's Day 10 for our "12 Tags of Christmas" challenge, meaning we're making a different tag for each day. My tag has three Ho!s, using just text filled with patterned papers.
Today I'm showcasing the lovely Hollyberries for the 12 Days of Christmas at the Eclips Users Group. I have to say, this tag is nothing like my vision! The fab holly is Hollyberries from Power Poppy. The tag shape is from SVG Cuts' Thank You for the Music.
Today is Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas Tags at the Eclips Users Group. Design paper is Nothing But Freebies' Enamel Gold. Circle is from Monica's Creative Room. Holly is a Power Poppy digital stamp - Hollyberries. The tag is strung on ribbon.
It's Sunday and time for another tag at the Eclips Users Group. It's also Featured Stamper day. I thought I would try to combine those two challenges - in hopes that the Featured Stamper had a tag in her gallery. She had one on the very first page that is just perfect! I like using nontraditional colors for Christmas, so the stocking is cut from the We Are 3 collection Daydreams. Hope you can join us this week at the Featured Stamper.
The current challenge at the Eclips Users Group is 12 Days of Christmas Tags. WooHoo! Now, this is always a challenge to be "creative" 12 days in a row! LOL! I adore a lot of what Miss Kate Cuttables puts out - but seldom take the time to use the svgs. Today I had some time to play, so here is Miss Kate Cuttables" Tall Snowman.
It's Day 4 of the Eclips Users Tag Challenge, and you know what that means! Yep, I'm outta ideas! LOL! Today I'm celebrating Santa. Right now we have perfect flip-flop weather, but during this season, I sometimes find myself dreaming of a white Christmas. I used the adorable Santa SVG from SVG Cuts. This file is one of my all-time faves because it's so easy to assemble. It's all paper pieced - and I added some fun eyes. I mean to emboss his beard and hat fur - but I got so involved in assembling, I forgot! So just imagine it being embossed in some cool folder. LOL!
Today I assembled a Christmas tag using Nested Labels from Miss Kate Cuttables.
