Scrapy Land Challenge- Use an image and dies

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today starts a new challenge at Scrapy Land: any die cut from a brand Scrapy Land sells and an image (either stamped or digi).

 
Scrapy Lands list of dies is extensive!

For my project I used both Spellbinders and Sizzix dies.  The card base is white tent fold 4.25” x 5.5”.  Spellbinders’ Floral Ribbon Threader was used with My Mind’s Eye paper, Be Happy.  White embroidery thread was added to the die cut.  Next a scrap piece of paper was die cut using Sizzix’ Framelits Tickets.  Gold was applied to the edges.

Wendy Vecchi’s Coneflower was stamped on two different pieces of scrap paper.  The images were fussy cut and applied as shown.  Stickles was applied to the petals and the flower center.

Quietfire’s “You are Amazing” was stamped and die cut using Spellbinders’ Framed Tags 1.  Distress ink was added.  Gold thread was the finishing touch.

 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you liked my little card.  :)  I look forward to seeing your project at Scrapy Land!

Have a happy crafty day!

You are Amazing tag

Hello Crafty Peeps!  

Don't you just love trying new techniques?  There are so many absolutely brilliant, creative and inspiring crafters out there to follow and learn from.  I don't know if you all follow Tammy Tutterow but she is definitely one of those crafters.  This week on her blog she showed a technique using a toothbrush and Distress products.  I followed along with her easy instructions and made a tag of my own.  

For the tag I used white paint and Distress Stain in Fossilized Amber.  After sanding the edge of the dried tag I applied Vintage Photo.  Next, I used Quietfire's Mosaic stamp and applied Picket Fence stain and stamped on the tag.

Seam binding and lace were stained using the Fossilized Amber and adhered to the tag.  Washi tape was also added.  Quietfire's You are Amazing was heat embossed on yellow vellum and adhered.  A yellow flower had Vintage Photo and Ice Stickles in Lime Ice applied to the edges.

Green paper was die cut using Spellbinders Foliage Flourish and added under the flower and bow.  More Stickles applied at will.  :)

Hope you enjoyed the little tag.  It is a very cool technique!  Thanks, too, to Tammy for the inspiration!  

Have a good day!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
