12 Months of Note Cards

I couldn't decide if I wanted to make birthday or note cards, then I looked at my stack of correspondence that I SHOULD be answering I went with note cards using this very file: Altered Calendar Hang Tags  You get all 12 months in this file.

Since I am still learning how to use the eBrush I got with my Christmas gift card I wanted to incorporate it in the project so I pulled out the masks that I have had for a couple of years but never used before. I really like the rick rack/zig zag look so I started with that mask. I also decided to go with a newsprint paper because the rick rack on these are layered on to newsprint paper.

I laid the mask on my paper and held it into place using blue painter's tape (this stuff is GREAT!! I've had this roll for quite a while but never used it before). I find that the eBrush is very easy to use, changing colors is no big deal and I don't have the overspray that you get when you use the spray bottles, no more going outside in the wind trying to add a little color to my paper.

 

I really like the way I had a couple of different zig zag options to add a little extra to my note cards but I got tired of zig zags and used different masks on the remainder of the year.

 

 

I like the zig zag pattern the best then the diamond shaped mask, not real nuts about the circles, which do you prefer?

 

As you can see, I punched the hole at the top of the tag and added a matching piece of twine and a piece of twine up the folded side. On the zig zag patterned paper I also added a piece of matching paper that I ran through my Cuttlebug with a zig zig edge folder. I adhered the tags to the card using foam tape.

 

See you next time.

Warm Snowmen Ornament

I love the holiday season because there is such inspiration around you.  I found these ornaments at Michael's and had seen someone else make an ornament out of one half.  I used the Warm Snowmen hang tags and chose one for inside of my ornament.  I put fake snow and a background scalloped circle and some jewels to give it some sparkle.

 

Bottle Cap Image Inserts

Tried a photo not on the tree and tried to block the glare from the light outside.  You can make so many of these ornaments with the hang tags and bottle cap inserts and get two ornaments for the price of one ball.  There are different size circles as well.

Merry Christmas Card Box and Cards

 I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit.  I love these Printable Hang Tag Victorian Santa Post Cards.  You can find them along with lots of other wonderful goodness in the Ewe-N-Me Printables Store.

I cut the post cards up and put stickles on the tree Santa is holding and on the holly.  I love old fashioned Santa's and the idea of giving someone a box full of creative goodness is so fun.  These cards print up so perfectly and there are 8 to a sheet so you can use them for so many different things.  I popped up the post card to give it more dimension next to the flowers.  Thanks so much for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Sunflower Mini Journals

Nothing says summer more to me than sunflowers. It’s amazing how that little seed ends up as such a gorgeous vibrant tall flower! So, today I’m using Deena’s beautiful HangTags – Prim Sunflowers for my latest project. These tags are on sale this week for only $1.00. There are four different images, and you will get two of each. Each tag measures approximately 2.25" wide x 3.75" high.

I love these little notebooks because they are so convenient to have on hand and so easy to tote around. Today I'm using two of the images for these little books.

I covered the front and back of each notebook with green cardstock. I then glued a strip of ribbon to the front of each notebook, leaving a bit of the black edge showing. It gives a bit of contrast and adds to that rustic look.

I printed the tags and cut out the two I wanted to use. The tags come with distressed edges which is so great! I added just a bit of darker ink so they’d really pop against the green.

I added a little gold panel that’s been hand stamped with “Spread Sunshine” to the bottom of each tag. I punched a hole in the top of the tag and added a matching green brad. Then I glued the tag to the journal!

These little books are so cute and so easy to make! There is a large assortment of wonderful hang tags at Ewe-N-Me Printables and you can check them out here! 

Right now, thru August 16, they are only $1. Stock up and save!!!

Thanks for visiting today and be sure to stop back soon!
