Freebie Collage Sheet and Vintage Pumpkin Tags

Heather here and today I would like to share with you a couple Vintage Halloween Pumpkin Clown Tags that I created and embellished with some SpoOkTacuLar Ribbons and Goodies from 
Really Reasonable Ribbon!!
I am so happy with how they came out!!
Here is a close up of the first one.
"Wishing you a Spooktacular Halloween."
I started out with one of my Halloween Digital Collage 3 sheet Set.
Here is a look at one of the sheets in My Vintage Clowns Digital  Collage Sheets Set.
Sheet two & Sheet three can be seen in my Etsy or on my blog.

 All pieces were inked with Ranger's Vintage Photo distress inks and then layered using Tombow Foam Tabs and Scor Tape.
Here you can see the Black and Havana Brown Seam binding, Orange Baker's Twine, Latte Button, 20mm Orange and 15mm Deep Ivory mulberry roses that I used from 
Really Reasonable Ribbon!
I used the Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue and
Ultra fine Metal Tip to apply glue to my tag and added both #56 Pumpkin and #188 Black Vinyl glitters.
Here is the second tag!
"You're looking Spooktacular this Halloween."
I elevated my text boxes with Tombow Foam Tabs instead of using the Scor Tape on this tag.
Here is a close up of the beautiful Embellishments from
 I used #91 Orange Crush and #188 Black Vinyl glitters on this tag.  You can see the Tangerine Diamond Satin peaking out on the edges in this photo!

**Today**
 I thought instead of doing a Random Draw for a Collage Sheet, I thought I would just make up a fun Halloween Collage sheet as a freebie for you.

All you need to do is click on the image so it gets bigger and choose save as.....and you will be good to go.
Please do not share the sheet with your friends. Just let them know to come and visit me and the New Design Team here at the 
 Hope this sheet inspires you to get some fabby ribbons and trims out and create something
SpoOkTacular!
You know I would LOVE to see what you make using it!
So send me an email or leave a comment for me when you use it ...so I can check it out!
Thank you for visiting!!
Hugs!!

The Queen Bee's Birthday....


For our current SALE information, please click HERE or scroll down to the next post.

 
 















 
 
Hello to you!  Cherry here with a tutorial today!  I decided to create an extra special birthday card along with a gussied up envelope.   It is always fun to make someone feel extra loved on their day. 
                                        I started with my card and stamped some French style bee images from Crafty Secret along the bottom of the card and envelope. I then colored some of my images in with a soft pink Tim Holtz distress marker.  From there it was time to pick some papers and adhere along with adding a few diecut borders.  I decided to add some Catherine white lace along the bottom half of card to soften it up a bit.  Once done with that I picked out some May arts fleur de lis  ribbon.  It is the center point of the card and I made sure when tying my knot that the fleur de lis were standing up right.  I tied my bow and then added another to the top.  I also added this ribbon to my envelope as a border and bow.  I used Scor-Tape for the fleur de lis border.  It adheres the ribbon well and allows for a nice smooth finish.  I of course HAD to add a bit of seam binding as well.  I added Baby pink seam binding that I crinkled.  
It was time to add some bits and bobs...I topped the card off with a tag and a gorgeous Prima wood button.  The envelope had to have a little more as well so I added a metal key along with a  birthday tag and a pink lovely tag for fun.  Soft, feminine, and oh so French!  Hope you enjoy!  cherry
