Tag using Leaves #2 Sizzix Die from Stampin' Up

This was a fun afternoon project, I just grabbed all sorts of CS and things that are in my stash (code for not Stampin' Up materials).  My main focus was to create a tag to hang on the door of my studio that represented Fall.  If you clink on the picture to enlarge, there is a definition of the word Fall.  Cleaver huh! The fall leaves were cut out of Brushed Gold CS and run through the Big Shot using the Leaves #2 Die. Then I put the leaves in the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot.  Next I used reinkers and tapped ink (Cajun Craze, Old Olive, More Mustard) all over the embossed leaves and had to heat set to dry the reinkers. The base of the tag was covered in coordinating inks and stamped with the Charming Stamp Set. I attached a myriad of ribbons to the top and Presto!  A Fall Tag.  I hope you enjoy!

Paisley Prints

This new stamp set "Paisley Prints" in the new Holiday Mini Catalog available September 1st, is a very versatile stamp set. Easy to create something for several holidays. I made the clouds with a scallop circle and using a sponge with Marina Mist ink on it, I sponges over the edge of the scalloped circle, moving it around over the page to make what looks like a beautiful fall sky. The bats were made using the edge of the Curly Label punch. The Momma, Daddy and Baby bats flying in to sit on the pumpkins have a Black Rhinestone (also from the new Holiday Mini) as their head. I just have to add some bling somewhere! Please leave a comment, I love to read them. Thanks for visiting.
