Love You Gift Tag

 

Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with you my Love You Gift Tag, perfect to adding to a little gift for Valentine's Day. I combined a variety of dies, stamps and Modern Gilding Powders, which were all perfect for creating this gift tag. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Love You Gift Tag at home.

To start, you'll need to die cut a tag or just grab a tag out of your stash. I used the Planner Essentials - 2 die to die cut the large tag out of a piece of white cardstock. From the Love & Hearts Collection Stamp Set, you'll need the heart border. Apply Worn Lipstick Distress Ink to the border and randomly stamp on the tag. I stamped a total of ten times. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed.

From the Love Joy & Peace Christmas Ornament, you'll need to die cut the Christmas Ornament out of a piece of white cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Candied Apple Distress Ink over the entire surface of the ornament.

Apply Emboss It Ink to the Love You stamp from the Love & Hearts Collection Stamp Set and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock. Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped sentiment. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Die cut the sentiment out using a 1 3/4" Stitched Circle die.

Apply Emboss It Ink to the plain heart from the Love & Hearts Collection Stamp Set and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powder over the stamped heart. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Repeat the previous steps to create another two hearts. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Heart stamp and stamp into one of the plain hearts. Reapply Emboss It Ink to the same stamp and stamp into another one of the plain hearts. Sprinkle Armenian Pink Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped hearts. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Love stamp and stamp into the remaining plain heart. Sprinkle Dragon Berry Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped heart. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Fussy cut the hearts out.

Apply Picked Raspberry Distress Ink to the two single hearts from the Love & Hearts Collection Stamp Set and stamp onto a white piece of cardstock. Repeat the previous step. Fussy cut the four stamped hearts out.

Adhere the Christmas ornament to the left hand side of the tag.

Foam square the Love You circle to the bottom right side of the Christmas Ornament. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the embossed hearts around the sentiment and Christmas Ornament as desired.

Adhere the remaining four stamped hearts as desired on the tag.

To finish the tag, tie a piece of twine through the hole at the top of the tag.

Here is a closeup of the finished gift tag.

You can use any tag, any size! You can use commercial tags, diecut tags or digitally cut tags.

If you are a digital cutting person, I’ve created a tag and storage/display box for your tags which you can download here: http://bit.ly/3rVzKZW from my Dropbox account (please do not give these files away. If someone wants them, tell them to join us!). It’s free!

So go ahead and paint, ink, stamp, diecut – add digital diecuts (I’ve made some tag files for my Silhouette page http://bit.ly/2oAR9e6.) Try Modern Gilding Powder, add some glitter or foil. Work on your favourite paper, use up some scraps, try watercolour paper and maybe Yupo.

Experiment!

Happy Birthday Card

 

Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with you my Happy Birthday Card. I combined a variety of dies, stamps and Modern Gilding Powder, which were all perfect for creating this card. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Happy Birthday Card at home.

To start, die cut a 3 1/2" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of watercolour cardstock. Spritz the rectangle with water. Spritz the watered rectangle with Dylusions Ink Spray in Vibrant Turquoise, Squeezed Orange and Fresh Lime. To remove the excess ink spray, dab the rectangle with paper towel. Allow the rectangle to dry.

Apply Emboss It Ink to the Dotted Harlequin Background Stamp and stamp as desired on the rectangle. Stamp another six times on the rectangle as desired. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped areas. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. 

Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Grid Background Stamp and stamp as desired on the rectangle. Stamp the grid background another six times. Reapply ink to the stamp as desired. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Happy Birthday 3 Die, die cut the Happy Birthday word out of white cardstock.

Die cut the Flourished Oval Frame out of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the frame and sprinkle Forever Platinum Modern Gilding Powders over the entire surface of the frame. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Indented Rectangle out of a piece of white cardstock. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Foam square the 3 1/2" rectangle to the 3 3/4" rectangle.

Foam square the Flourished Oval Frame to the middle of the 3 1/2" rectangle.

Adhere the Happy Birthday words to the middle of the Flourished Oval Frame.

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of white cardstock that measures 3 3/4" x 10", score at 5". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Sending Smiles

 I'm done with winter.  If it's not going to give me a beautiful snowfall, let's just move along.  Haha - I wish it was that easy but it is in my craft room.  I needed a cheery card and I always love butterflies in season and out of season.  So here is my happy versions of Sending Smiles in a slimline format.

I started by using an old leaf stencil by Art Impressions and sponging in some different shades of green with my Distress Oxides.  I then cut the Symbol background out of pastel green foil by Recollection and used trimmed it to use the smaller halves to flank the sides of my slimline base.

The Sending Smiles and butterflies from the Butterflies Spray and Butterfly Pocket Insert were cut from the same slightly different shades of blue cardstock.

Supplies Used:

A Way with Words Sending

A Way with Words Sweet Smiles

A Way with Words Butterflies Spray

ECD Butterfly Pocket Insert

ECD Symbol background
