Create Bliss

Hi Everyone! I was in a crafty mood today and entered a challenge at a site called Paper Hoarders. For the challenge, we had to use lace on a tag, so this is what I made:
I have been wanting to use this dress form from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF on a project and today I figured out what I wanted to do with it. I cut out the pieces using my Cricut and SCAL, but if you don't have a Cricut or SCAL you can use the jpeg printables that are included in these sets. I used Distress Inks on the tag, doily sash, measuring tape and the buttons.
I stamped CREATE in the corner (Invoke), embossed the lower edge with a cuttlebug folder then glued all my pieces down with Helmar Acid Free glue and used Liquid Scrap Dots (for dimension) to adhere the buttons. I wrapped the spool with some embroidery thread and attached it to the tag with various ribbons, threads and yarns.
Here are links to the sets I used:



This project was sew much fun to make! That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by, and until next time, happy creating!

Linday's Stamp Stuff Steampunk Tag

Wow! Say that three times fast! LOL I was in a Steampunk kind of mood today so I got out my Steampunk & Shipping Tags SVGs from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF and created this fun project using my cricut and SCAL. I cut the gears and the tag out of cream card stock. I colored the tag with distress ink and clear embossed the whole thing, then added vintage photo distress ink over it and wiped off the excess. Next, colored the gears with my Alcohol Ink Mixatives, distressed them with a piece of sandpaper and colored over each piece with vintage photo distress ink. They really look like metal gears, and they are just paper! I adhered them with pop dots, stamped the images and sentiment, added a ribbon and I was done. I think this will make a fun birthday tag for a guy, what do you think?
