Having Fun With Flower Soft

Hello Everyone,

Today I am going to do a tutorial.

I've only done 1 or 2 of them, so

please forgive me for any blunders. :)

I wanted to do a car freshener today.

You could hang this in the car,

or a closet, or put it in a drawer

or a suite case.

This is what we will be making today.

This tag is double sided.

We will need to do the same thing on both sides.

First, pick out a shape for your tag.

I used this one from spellbinders.

Use what you have, it could be a square,

a circle, or a diamond shape.

Cut 2

Next

Pick out what you want to

stamp on the tag.

I used this wonderful little stamp

from  Crafter's Companion  called

A Little Bit Sketchy.

I stamped it out on cream colored

card stock with Memento black ink.

Then colored them in with my

 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

 Inked the edges with Stampin Up's

Cherry Cobbler ink.

I know it's a little hard to see, but it is there.

Next, we are going to play with some

wonderful stuff called

Flower Soft.

I purchased mine from a

great company called

Stamping Scrapping.

They have everything you need.

These are the colors I used.

Meadow

&

Summer

All you need to do is put little drops of glue

where you want the fluff to stick.

There is a great video showing you

how to use Flower Soft on the

 Stamping Scrapping website.

Now, to make sure the little flower's don't

fall off, I used a sealant to cover the tag.

Spray & Seal

 works great. Your hubby may

have a paint sealer in his work area.

Just make sure it is clear, and use it outside.

The fumes can make you a little loopy!!

I'm loopy any way...

So it doesn't matter.

:) LOL :)

I used the Stick & Stay to put the two

tags together. Use what you have...

To make the card smell nice, I found

these lovely little bottles of

fragrance's called

Scent My Card.

These are awesome!!!

Just add a drop or two and the scent

will last a long time.

It is wonderful for these tags.

Use one for spring, ( I used Honey Suckle)

when that is gone, use one for fall or

Apple cinnamon for Christmas.

Stamping Scrappy has these also.

Don't let the size fool you.

You only need a small amount.

You can also get bottles of different scents

at Michael's or your local craft center.

Look in the candle or soap making section.

I punched a hole in the top of the tag,

to put the twine.

I also added some ribbon on the bottom

of the tag.

I needed a pink, so I made the color I needed.

This is called HUG SNUG seam binding.

It comes in 100 yd rolls, I buy white and cream.

I found mine at

Fabric.com.

Cut a piece of ribbon, and pick out the color

you need.

You can use a reinker or an ink pad,

or a spray ink, what ever you have.

I put on gloves. I hate getting ink on my

hands, because then it goes every where.

My face, clothes, the cat!!

:)LOL:)

(only kidding)

Any way.

Put the ink on your crafting mat.

( or in a bowl).

Spray some water on it.

Let the ribbon soak it up.

Then just flatten it out, or crinkle it up,

and let dry. I would not use the heat gun

unless it's in small bursts, it will melt the

seam binding. :(

Then use it as you like.

There are all kinds of videos on

You Tube, just type in

" Dying my own ribbon ".

I punched 2 holes at the bottom of the tag.

 Then threaded 2 pieces of ribbon

through, one for each side.

Added some pearls, also dyed

the same color.

(dip in left over ink)

And DONE!!!

YAY :)

Are you still with me?

If so, you get a gold star!!

LOL

If you have any questions, let me know.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

Thank You Lynda

Hello Everyone,

Today I wanted to say a special

Thank You,

to the lovely lady who does our taxes,

Miss Lynda...

Lynda always does a wonderful job for us.

And I wanted to let her know that we

appreciate her so much.

I learned a new technique  the other

day from Stampin Up with

 Tami White.

She is amazing, and always has

wonderful projects.

This is the card I made.

\

I was so very excited to try this.

Sometimes I think to myself, that is to hard,

or you can't do that.

But just get in there, and give it a shot!!

What's the worst thing that could happen?

You have a colorful lining for the

bottom of the birdcage.

:)LOL:)

Then you try again!

You should see some of my

projects that I just laughed at and

said " I don't think so".

"lol"

Give this one a shot, it was so much fun...

And very easy.

I changed the colors around, and

put a thank you note inside.

Now all I have to do is drop it off.

Also Tami has some great gifts when

you purchase her Stampin Up products.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.

My Heart Belongs To You

Hi Everyone,  

It's Wednesday.

Crafter's Companion Day

Last week you had a sneak peak at

the wonderful stamps,

Anthony and Burt.

This is the release week.

Hop over and take a look.

And while your hopping

( no pun intended)

:) lol:)

over there,  go to the

 Crafter's Companion Challenge Blog

and enter for the free stamp give-a way.

Also check out the

Something Sweet Challenge

there are wonderful prizes this month.

And there's still time to enter the

100 Dollar Gift Certificate Drawing.

From Crafter' Companion.

For my card today,

I stamped my image

out on cryogen card stock, with

Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Then colored in with

 Spectrum-Noir Markers.

These stamps are so cute.

This cute little fly (Anthony) has a big ole'

crush on his friend Burt.

I added sone tiny little hearts around Anthony.

(The hearts are fingernail decorations)

I put some

Stickles Glitter

around the heart and added a bow.

For the sentiment, I layered the two hearts

together and added a little prima rose.

The foil on the bottom layer is from

Foilman.com

I hope you enjoyed the card today.

Thank you for stopping by.

And have a scrappy day.
