Digi Christmas Tags

I made two sets of Christmas gift tags for this months Hero Arts Challenge.  Both sets use digital images and have a little stamping, a little embossing and a little bling on them.


I really like the Scribble Tree, it's such a fun and whimsical image and perfect for showcasing a variety of background papers.

Tags are quick and easy to produce and they make excellent gifts when you bundle them up in a set and put them in a pretty box or bag.  That's what I plan to do with mine!

So Torn

When I saw CAS-ual Fridays So Torn Challenge I immediately thought of a leaf with fall colours.  I'm really not sure why, it's just one of those things that can't be explained.  So I set about trying to figure out how to use something torn on my card.  Very hard for someone who likes everything to be linear.

I lopped off 0.75" from my card front and attached 3 layers of torn paper to take its place.  My favourite Maple Leaf was stamped with Distress Inks and to frame the leaf I added Versamark to the edges of the square, sprinkled on embossing powder and heat set it.  A quick and easy way to add some colour and texture without using paper.

I'm also entering this card for Simon Says Thinking of You/Sympathy Challenge.  There's still time to play and enter both challenges!

Wishing you an inky day!

Masculine CAS-ual Fridays

I have a card today for CAS-ual Fridays Masculine Challenge.

My dad enjoys nature and watching shows about wild animals so over the years I've collected quite a few animal stamps to use on his greeting cards.  This wolf is a very old stamp from PSX, the company may be gone but the image lives on.

This is my first time using Simon Says Air Vent Die and I love it, it adds so much visual interest to a card.  You should definitely put it on your wish list!

I'm also entering this for A Blog Named Hero's Die and Punch Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Simon Says...Get In Shape

Only shaped cards allowed at Simon Says Get In Shape Challenge this week.


I started off with white card stock which was coloured with Distress Inks, I stamped the design then used water to paint certain sections of the image.  Since Distress Inks react with water the areas I painted became lighter, kind of a bleached effect.  Very subtle.

Wishing you an inky day!
