Upcycled Mixed Media Tag Using Dollar Tree Cards

August 30, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Hello Everyone!

I am excited to tell you that as of today the Dollar Tree will be selling Expression from Hallmark cards! Now, I usually like to make my greeting cards, but sometimes I am in a pinch and so I need a good place to purchase them, and the Dollar Tree really came through with these cards!

There are over 6,500 Dollar Tree stores nationwide and on August 30th every store will carry Expressions from Hallmark, $1 each and Heartline a Hallmark company, 2 for $1. With hundreds of new greeting cards to choose from, you can celebrate every moment with your friends and family without breaking the bank!

I received a pack of cards from the Dollar Tree and I have to say, they are wonderful. Great colors and designs and some glitter (of course I am a fan of glitter, lol) and they are printed on nice heavy card stock.

They a few different varieties, like the Joyfully Yours line (that is the teal one on the right in the above photo)  Joyfully Yours lets family and friends express their faith in just the right way during holidays, special occasions, and moments big and small.

I was please with the selection and I am excited to use the cards. You all know I am a big fan of upcycling and repurposing items in my art. Since the cards are on nice paper it is easy to reuse them and make cards and tags from old greeting cards.

In the video at the beginning of the post I show you how to take the baby card and make this cute mixed media tag. I used some ink, stencils, scrabble tiles, bakers twine, and other elements.

Summer Greeting Cards

July 11, 2018 / / 2 Comments

Hello Everyone!

I just love the summer! Bright colors, warm weather, and sunshine! So when I saw the Bo Bunny Summer Mood Collections I knew I had to  make some summer greeting cards!

This post is sponsored by Scrapbookcollections.com, a one stop shop for an entire Scrapbook Collection! Perfect way to get everything you need all in one place.

Recently I have become pen pals with my sisters and I really like to make handmade cards to send them. Writing each other has helped us learn more about each other as adults and I have really been enjoying it!

You can create both of these cards with everything in the kit, you will just need to add a blank card, and adhesive.

This first card I used the bright yellow paper for the background then added the pretty circle cut out in the middle.

I added accents and rhinestones to jazz it up and the flower in the middle is raised just a little bit with foam tape. You don’t want to add too many embellishments if the card is going through the mail, you don’t want it to arrive damaged.

This second card is not featured in the video, it is a bonus for my blog readers.

I took 2 different paper backgrounds and layered them together, then I added the typewriter from the Noteworthy pack. Then I added the flower to the corner. This is a perfect card to send to friends or family for almost any occasion.

I think both cards turned out really cute and I am excited to send them to my sisters. And I am excited to create even more creations from this adorable scrapbook kit!

Thank You Card Using Supplies from WISH

September 6, 2017 / / 0 Comments

Hello Everyone!

Have  you seen the WISH app?  I have to say it is a bit addicting, lol. I recently found some cheap craft supplies and I thought I would test them out. Remember to be safe online and to make sure you are secure before ordering anything.

Some things have been a hit, while others have been a miss, but that is the way it goes sometimes.

Materials (Affiliate Links are used)

 

  

Instructions:

Find coordinating papers that will work with your keys. I used the Recollections pack- Flea Market. It is full of beautiful papers that are perfect for this card. I used the suitcases and the gold dots.

Cut the suitcase paper to size, then rip the coordinating paper to size. Ink the edges of the ripped paper. Add the tag, ink the edges and add the key. Adhere it all to the card. The ink will need to be heat set so it will become permanent.

For the sentiment, stamp the image on the label in gold and set it with clear embossing powder.

I think I found some good craft supplies from WISH, but watch the prices and be patient, it will take a few weeks to get to you. And be safe when shopping online.

I think it turned out really cute. I am excited to see what other deals I can find on WISH.

What have you found?

All ideas and designs are my own and this is not a sponsored post.
