13 Days Of Halloween - Day 11 - Lawn Fawn Caramel Apple Shaker Tag!

Howdy! Wow, Day 11 already! My girls are getting really excited about Halloween, and it's only 9 days away now. For today's project I'm sharing two fun shaker tags - perfect for adding to a loot bag full of candy! These are definitely not on the spooky end of Halloween, and could definitely be used for fall and even Thanksgiving. If I ever got around to making caramel apples, these would be awesome... but that's not going to happen this year!

I used two layers of fun foam to create the shaker walls and added some pretty Studio Katia Sequins. I thought the cute Mama Elephant mini message was perfect!

I matched the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to the fall colours in the Fall Fling Lawn Fawn Paper Pad. I like the fun, bright feel!

I added some yummy treats to dollarstore paper bags with a doily folded over. On the back is a sweet message from the Caramel Apple set stamped with Tim Holtz Archival Mini Inks.

Here's a look at the video where you can see how this project comes together! If you've missed any of the 13 Days Of Halloween be sure to check out the full playlist HERE.

Emerald Creek Demo Tags!

Hello! I hope you're all enjoying Fall weather - here in Alberta we had a crazy snow storm over the weekend with 30 cm of snow (that's a foot!) in Calgary. So, I for one stayed in warm and cozy prepping for a fun demo at the Scrapendity Scrapbook Store using Emerald Creek Craft Supply products today. Everyone had fun playing with some fun powders and making some neat tags, so I thought I'd share what we did today, and I've included the basic instructions for each tag!

1. Stamp Wild Rose stamp on tag.
2. Use Southern Ridge Trading Company Under The Sea Bubbles Stencil with Embossing Ink Dabber and emboss with Just Java Rock Candy Embossing Powder.
3. Use Distress Resist Spray to splat spots onto background of tag and emboss with Peppermint Rock Candy Embossing Powder.
4. Use Blue Distress Oxide Inks to sponge colour onto back of tag.
5. Use Ranger Matte Medium to glue Marshmallow Rock Candy Embossing Powder to center of flower (stamped a second time on patterned paper). Do not emboss.

I absolutely love the soft blue watercolour look with the gold in the logo, so that I what I was drawn to when I created three Christmas cards and two tags using the new Stamping Village Holiday Seals stamp set. I had so much fun mixing and matching papers and elements from my stash to coordinate with this look! I used Copic Markers to colour in all these sweet images - there are 12 seals in all to choose from and they are all so awesome! You can use them on envelopes, to coordinate with other images with each company they are designed by, cut out as smaller elements, or as tags and cards like I did... 

For this first card I used paper from the Simple Stories Heart 6x8 Paper Pad on my background and to create a faux polaroid frame. Then, I backed the frame with the pretty boca paper from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day Remix collection. 

All 12 companies came together to create this gorgeous stamp set. This image is by Avery Elle, and is so adorable. I added some white gel pen highlights and some silver gel pen to the string of lights. I used a Versamark Pen to trace around the outside of the image and added Emerald Creek Mirror Gold Embossing Powder.

For this next card I used a yellow toned woodgrain paper from my stash and a Waffleflower stitched diecut as the base. The stitched circle dies used in various sizes on these projects are from Kaisercraft, and a scalloped Your Next Stamp die features the pretty image by Pink Fresh Studio. 

I added Glossy Accents to the cute little bird and some white gel pen highlights to the leaves. I had some foliage diecuts in my stash, so I pulled them out to use with Tim Holtz Metallic Cardstock and Lawn Fawn Glitter Paper. A few coordinating pearls from Buttons Galore and More finish it off.

The 3rd card uses papers from the Lawn Fawn Snow Day Remix collection again. I especially love the music paper! I coloured in the whole circle from this stamp designed by Studio Katia in various blues, yellow and greens.

I added some Glossy Accents on the berries and a Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystal to the center of the flower.

For the tags I used a white cardstock tag with a Your Next Stamp stitched tag die and layered on my elements.

This little Lawn Fawn design is soooo cute! I stamped the Merry Christmas with Gold Embossing Powder from the Lawn Fawn Winter Wavy Sayings set. I didn't happen to have the matching banner die, so I handcut around the sentiment and used a gold pen to line the edges. A small hole punch allowed me to turn this sentiment strip into a little tag too!

This beautiful design by Altenew was very simple to colour with some green Copics. I added some white gel pen highlights and the Studio Katia Gold Sparkle Crystals for bling. I layered it on top of the diecut tag which I watercoloured with Distress Oxides. A few Pretty Pink Posh sequins finish this last tag off!

Thanks so much for 'Hopping' by 😉 I hope you've gotten lots of inspiration to create something beautiful yourself! You can head over to the Brande's blog next, and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win! Have a fantastic and very crafty week my friends.

Lawn Fawn Say What Pets Gift Tags with Video!

Howdy friends! I'm back today to share six super cute gift tags, including three shaker tags that I have up on the Scrap Shotz blog. I was really excited to work with these Say What Pets Stamp Set and Dies since I already had the Say What Critters and Gift Tag Die Set from a previous release. These cute little animals will be perfect to mix and match with my other Lawn Fawn critters too!

Here's a look at the video where you can see how I put both styles of tags together:

DIY Embellishments - Use Your Stash!

Happy Friday! I'm popping in today to share a bunch of pretty tags and embellishments I created from bits and pieces from my stash! We all have those little bits of pretty papers and left over pieces of goodies - well I say, "Let's use them!" I sat down one day and grabbed a bunch of pretty things that I was just about to part with and decided to create some DIY embellishments.

I gathered some tags, diecut shapes, stamps and patterned papers and added some Distress Inks and gems to create these layered tags.

A few sequins, flowers and twine finished them off!

These would look great layered on a scrapbook page, card or tucked into some Happy Mail.

These labels worked great as a background to layer some diecuts and stamps on!

 I love how these one layer tags turned out - using some mini CTMH stamps and inking around the edges.

Some basic coloured pencils shaded in the images and they were ready!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you'll try grabbing some of those pretty supplies you have in your stash that you might not otherwise use. If you need more inspiration, try looking on YouTube for DIY scrapbook embellishments - there is so much amazing inspiration! Wishing you a fantastic start to your weekend :)
