Amazingly Loving Tags..

 Happy Monday! Peggy here to show you my tags made with Susan K Weckesser stamps.
I love teal....  Susan's stamps are so cute and can be used in so many different ways.  I made some tags with background stamps and ephemera paper (thank you Lynne Mizera)   Grin..
I used Journal Doodles with a Heart stamps set and Love Ya Whole Bunches and Live Love Create paper. I stamped my images with Memento Black Ink to ensure they wouldn't smudge when coloring with alcohol markers. I cut out all images and mounted them on my background tags using foam dots and double sided tape.

 Metal embellishments, Wooden embellies, Inks and Stamps. What more could a girl want. 

Tags are so much fun and inspirational. I love to hang them on my walls but usually give them away. 

Stamps and Paper used today are supplied by Susan K Weckesser Inc. You can find her on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and her Blog!

Have a great day!!

Warmly,

Susan K Weckesser Tags of Love

 Hello everyone! I am back with more self love that I am planning on sharing with these bright tags made with Susan K Weckesser Stamps Journal Doodles with a Heart Set.

I started with my background on my tags regular shipping tags. I chose two different mediums.
Gelato's and Ink Sprays. The top tag has sprays for the background color and the bottom tag is colored with gelato's and water. I stamped my images with Versamark Ink and sprinkled on some white embossing powder and heat to set.

 I added lots of embellishments and backed up the tags with strong cardstock. I adhered all embellishments with crystal lacquer.

I love it! 

check out the stamp set below!

I hope you enjoyed today's tags. Thank you for looking and have a Happy New Year Everyone!

I prepared my canvas with white gesso before stamping and let completely dry.  I chose to stencil first. I used molding paste and colored it with acrylic paints then using a putty knife I stenciled the background using Susan's Doodle stencil. 

 Next I stamped images on to the background with blue gelato's and purple acrylic paints.

I strung them all together using  a border stamp from the same collection vertically hung.
Using prima's natural bark shapes I colored and glued them in place.

I hope you have enjoyed my banner! Have a wonderful New Year!!

Ornament in a box

Hello good day to you! I would love to show you my ornament today from a recycled soap (dove) box using my eBrush from Craftwell USA.

supplies used today are: 

eBrush by Craftwell USA

Sharpie Pen

recycled box

designer paper

double sided tape

pearl string to hang 

embellishments as desired

I opened a box from the soap I currently do not need. It smells great.. lol 

Then I cut out the front panel to give me a small shadow box. 

I covered my box with designer paper and adhered the paper with double sided tape. 

I made a small hole at the top of the box for a small light bulb to fit into. (bulb from the christmas tree I will hang it on)

I had a tag from a graphic45 collection that I fussy cut and then eBrushed the sides to give a deep green edge. 

I glued lace edging to the tag front. I also glued the tag now cut into a frame onto the front of my box

I fussy cut all my paper and decided a partridge was going to hang in the center of the box. I attached it with a pearl string. Next I added gold embellishments on the front corners and placed a ribbon on the top.  I placed this on the tree and pushed a bulb through the hole in the top and I have a lit ornament.  I hope you enjoyed today's craft tutorial made possible from eBrush by Craftwell. 

Warmly, 

Peggy
