Quick, Cute & Easy Puppy GiftTag ~ Using Clear Stamp...

Need a quick and easy gift tag?  I had a last minute party to go to for a kid, and did not have a card.  So I whipped up this cute little puppy gift tag, that I could clip right to the top of the gift bag!  Now I didn't need a bow as the tag gave it that super cut finishing touch :)

#clearstamps #stamping #papercrafting #gifttag #dog #puppy #fbstamps #zigcleancolorrealbrushmarkers
I created this Live on my Periscope channel.  So, you can watch & follow along to create your own. 
(Keep in mind it was done live, so you have to bare with me in the beginning, we had a little technical difficulty, but it all gets straightened out quickly and I get to the crafting fun)

Supplies: 
  •  Pawsatively Fabulous ~ 4x6 stamp set
  • Markers
  • Chalkboard tag
  • Clothespin
  • Hot glue and hot glue gun
  • Adhesive
  • Foam tape

Here is how I created this adorable tag:

  • I used a rectangle chalkboard tag.
  • Hot glued a clothespin to the top.
  • Colored this adorable puppy stamp with Zig Real Color Clean Brush markers, then cut it out along with the cute little doggy bowl, using the stamp set "Pawsatively Fabulous"
  • Then I used a white gel pen to write my message. (You could also use one of the sentiments from the stamp set instead. 
  • I popped up the finished puppy with some foam tape, glued on the bowl and had the most adorable decoration and tag for my gift! :)  
It was so easy, I made a second one for a little boys birthday!


Happy Crafting!

Supplies needed:

On the white watercolor paper I embossed the flower, butterflies and sentiment using silver embossing powder. I put some peacock blue ink onto a stamp block and watered it down with my watercolor pen then lightly went over the entire area. I then went over the flower and butterflies adding the blue a bit darker and darker around the butterfly edges. I then spattered the blue all around. I lightly inked the edges with nautical blue memento ink. I then glued the layers together to complete this beautiful card.

Stenciling...

Cheryl here today, with a post using one of the new stencils.

One of the products Fleurette Bloom designs are stencils. They are such a bargain and really versatile. I finally got one out to play.


I had Fleurette show me the proper alignment and then it was easy. I don't have an finger daubers and need to get some. But I have some sponge things on sticks, lol. I used Distress Inks and worked my way around the rose. I wish I'd have kept the center a bit lighter but next time I will. Once I had the parts of the rose stenciled, I trace the main piece onto a piece of masking paper and cut it out. I then laid it on the image and began to work on the other elements. 

I felt it needed a stem, so I got out a fine brush and tried to sketch in a stem, soft and not harsh edges. I then used the stencil for just a couple of leaves.

I then began to work on the leaves. With the mask in place, it was pretty easy to not go over. Then I grabbed for the buds and some yellow ink and stenciled those. Lastly, I added the flower center.


Once I had the stenciling finished, I mixed up some black and some gold to add spatters to the card front. I stamped the sentiment and added some sequins. I matted with some black cardstock and mounted it to the card base with foam tape. 


Hope you get a bit of inspiration from this card and get out your supplies and create your own.

Happy Crafting!

I embossed the Thank you sentiment in gold and then embossed the Butterflies in random spots using white embossing powder. I then went around the whole card using the salty ocean ink and watercolor pen just lightly using a little of the ink. I made it alil darker around the outside edges of the butterflies. I then colored the inside of the butterflies using seedless preserves ink and watercolor pen. After that I glued down a few purple sequins in random spots to match the butterflies. Lightly ink the edges of your watercolor paper using the seedless preserves and glue each layer down and you're done! Simple, easy and pretty!
