Summer Loving Hand Stamped Hang Tags

I am soooooo in love with my tags! I created these yesterday and I was really happy with them. I am usually my own worst critic, so trust me, arrogance is not me :) I think I really liked them when they were done because of the light aqua with the brown. That's one of my fave color combos right now. What's yours? Somebody was mentioning that GAP has a summer collection out and that's their fave color palette right now. I guess I will have to google that as the closest GAP store is about an hour away, and the last time I was in that general area, I had both the kids with me, alone, and they were hungry. Therefor, there was no way I was going shopping! lol. So here are my tags.....



These measure about 2 inches by 3 inches. They are handstamped with a sepia ink and teal. I use staz-on ink. I love that ink for making the ribbon/trim too that I hand stamp. It is permanent. I then prestrung them with a thinner jute twine. They are blank white on the back, which is nice if you are going to use these as gift wrap, labels, etc. I rounded the tops with my corner rounder and then hand aged the edges with coordinating ink.





I love these too! With these, I took khaki material, hand torn/frayed it, it's on the thinner side (maybe a half an inch) and then stamped the background with seashells. I tried to have them look a "little" faded, just to continue the vintage look. I then stamped them with the text "Sea Breeze" in teal. These also measure about 2 inches by 3 inches. (approx. I have all the details with them listed on etsy).



Happy Tagmaking! :)

Farewell to School Cupcake Toppers!

It is the beginning of summer, and for my kids, that ends in 3 days!!!! This Thursday is their last day. I have to admit, I love them being home for the summer. Even if we don't do anything special, I just like having them talk, listening to their little kid ideas and thoughts and sometimes even being in the same room together, drawing or painting, etc. I am SOOO looking forward to summer vacation!

Well, my son promptly reminded me as soon as he got home from school today that he would really like me to make 24 cupcakes for the last day of school. Now, I can't frost a cupcake pretty to save my life {{{trust me, they're horrible! lol}}} so I rely bigtime on cute cupcake toppers. That way all I have to do is frost them "normally" and then add the toppers to make them cute!

I created a free printable that I will be using also! I am attaching these to flat wooden toothpicks. Only on one side. Simple for the 9 year olds. I don't think they'll pay too much attention to detail, but I do want them to look festive. lol.

Here is the free printable. It looks rather large, but I want to make sure that they print the correct size for you. I have it set to print out 8 x 10.

They say "Have a Great Summer!"

Happy Baking and hope you all have a great start to the summer!!!!

Free Water Bottle Printables

I managed to finish another project that I've wanted to do and that is create water bottle labels. Right click and choose save. Then you can print it out, or open a program like even word, and copy and paste the labels to print out more than one on a sheet. I can seem to fit 3 on a 8 x 11 sheet of cardstock/paper. 

This photo to right click and save already has 3 on it, so all you have to do is print it out. I've given you an idea of what I meant about copying and pasting 3 times to fit on one sheet of paper. 

 This is a blank template.... I have tinted it a tiffany blue shade so that way you can see it. You can always change it back to white or whichever you choose. In case you are wondering, the template measures 8.25 X 2 inches. 

Gnome Printables

well, I found these neat little printables online and posted them on twitter. Well, everyone was having a problem downloading them and opening them up(the PDF). What I did was I converted them so I can upload them here to the blog. You can grab them here. You can also go HERE to see where I found them.. I am not claiming them as my own, just helping out a friend who wants them :) and having a hard time downloading the PDF.... All you have to do is right click and choose save. 

Here they are....

Upcycled Album Tutorial

Do you have kids? Eat alot of cereal? Well, I got an idea for those boxes rather than tossing them in the recycling bin. Not that recycling is bad, but I can make them look waaaayyyyy prettier! Check them out! I will walk you through this picture tutorial so you will know exactly what I did. Some steps I just can't photograph, but they're easy and you will know what I am talking about. Comments are always appreciated, so if you like this, let me know so I can do more! Feedback is always good..... Okay! On with the tutorial!!!! 

First cut your cardboard boxes into 5 inches by 5 inch squares like such. Then you will punch holes. I then used this as a template and marked each one. Then punched the rest of them. 

Then you are going to cut your paper that you are going to use into 5 x 5 squares

Attach the paper to one side, then punch your holes again. This way when you add paper to the second side, you will be able to punch the holes and keep them uniform. You can wait till the end and punch all the holes, but sometimes it is really hard between the paper and the cardboard to punch the holes. 

Here's all my squares, covered in paper

Some extra steps that aren't shown:

1. Add eyelets to the front and back pages for security

2. Hand age all the pages before putting together (remember the hand aging tutorial!)

3. Then you will string ribbon, twine or whatever you choose through the holes and tie off

4. Then you will add additional ribbons to your taste. I've used my hand stamped trim also! 

5. Then you will be able to flip through and add embellishments

6. It's easier to stamp on the pages BEFORE you put the album together. 

Here's my cover

 The Details up close.....

Side view of the album..... 

 First set of pages... Hand stamping and buttons with twine. 

 2nd set of pages. More stamping and a rhinestone butterfly. One of my tags too!

 The best is yet to be. In the center of the fleur de lis are glittery centers

 Paris love.... 

 Paisley and Lace

 I love skeleton keys!! 

 Flowers and Birds. Rhinestone flowers and stamped roses...

Back of the album is stamped also. I stamped lace on the edge and flowers in the center. I have created shadows with the butterflies by stamping twice. 

Happy Scrapping!!!!
