Book Page Tag

Our challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by the lovely Sandie

and she wants us to use book pages!

The book I used is a really old novel (paper back)

bought in a charity shop for using in craft so

I don't feel so bad about ripping a page out 😁

I layered the cut page onto a die cut piece of cinnamon cider card.

I then stamped the tree, leaves and base using

cinnamon cider, old olive and pumpkin pie inks.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set

Beauty of Friendship, in pumpkin pie ink

onto a piece of the book page, punched and layered

onto cinnamon cider card.

I finished it off with a piece of matching ribbon.

I hope you get time to play along.

Stamp of the moment!

It's midway through our challenge at 

STAMPING SENSATIONS

where the theme is your

stamp of the moment!

Remember we have a lovely prize up for grabs so come and join us!

For my card today I have used a mix of my favourites!!

Well it is hard to choose one set lol.

The background has been embossed using an old rose embossing folder

and layered onto fresh freesia card.

The fresh freesia papers have been die cut using the ornate layers dies.

I cut an oval in white for my sentiment and flowers.

The spray has been made up by stamping and die cutting

pieces from the Forever Fern Stamp and die set,

an absolute favourite for me!!

The sentiment (Timeless Tulips) was stamped in fresh freesia ink along

with the butterfly from the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set

and die cut using the Brilliant Wings dies.

Thinking of You sentiment is from Beauty of Friendship

stamp set and I added a few metallic pearls to finish.

I hope you get time to join us!

Simple enough and easily adjusted to fit whatever size you might need.

For this one I have used my love retired papers again

but the flower has been stamped using the lovely

Daisy Lane stamp set and matching punches large and medium.

The ink is grapefruit grove from a retired in colour a few years ago.

So my hand is much better but still have to put splint on

for a few hours a day.

I have been enjoying walking around golf course

as hubby plays his golf.

It is so beautiful out there and it's a nice change from the back garden.

Mother nature has worked her magic right on my doorstep.

 

Recycling at Tag Tuesday

It's the second week of our recycling challenge over at

Tag Tuesday.

Have you joined us yet???

I saved this box from our rubbish.

It held a load of plum tomatoes and now it's living

the good life as an autumnal tag!

So I cut the bottom into my tag base.

I then stamped my crackle paint stamp in early expresso ink.

I used my brushes to ink round the edges and then punched a hole

for the ribbon (cinnamon cider).

Next I stamped the sentiment in pumpkin pie ink using

Statement of the Heart stamp and cut it out using

stitched rectangle dies.

I inked around the edges using early expresso ink.

Next I cut some leaves out (gathered leaves dies)

in old olive, mango melody and pumpkin pie card stock.

I inked the edges of each and displayed as you see on the tag

using dimensionals.

I'm pretty pleased with the natural look it has and the tomato

box was made of really sturdy cardboard.

Use your stash!

With taking a rest from crafting my mind was full of ideas

to use up what stash I have and this is one of them.

I designed a little box to hold my metal candle holders

which I picked up (quite a lot) from Ikea.

They were greatly reduced and I thought I'd use them for something

but they just lay in the bottom drawer!

So here is what I made.

The candle holder has been stamped in  stazon

and the boxes have been made using my retired paper stash.

You can watch my video here

This size of box also fits the 2 1/4" candles.
