Challenge #3 Warms the Heart at MAA & Gecko Galz Steam Punk

Hello Friends!!

Just wanted to let you know I have a new challenge up on the

My Artistic Adventure's Challenge Blog.

The theme this time is "Warms the Heart"

Hope you will hop on over and check out the inspiration pieces from the 

Design Team!

This month the Gecko Galz Steampunk Stamp Set
is being featured in the Quick Cards Magazine.
The Design Team has a lot of yummy inspiration pieces that they have created using the set!  You can find them on the 
Gecko Galz Blog today!

Here is my Quick Card

A couple Close ups
The Center image below, the one I used for the stamp, and the three die cuts at the bottom of my card were all digi stamps from the set.

I used the Floral Symphony Papers behind all of the digital stamps.  I resized the paper so it would fit my needs.

I created my own text boxes.

The Aqua Twine and Seam Binding as well as Pink Crocheted lace are all from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thank you for visiting!!

Double Pocket Valentine's Day Card and Tags

Hello Friends!!

I hope you are having a fabulous day! 

So back during the RRR Blog hop I mentioned I would be doing a tutorial on how I put together my card.  So...if you would like to hop on over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, you will find my tutorial.

I have used my tiny hearts digital paper.  I used the Aqua and Pink papers.

Here is my piece :0)

 I used some Goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon....the Tombow Foam Tabs  (to elevate some of my images), Pink Crochet lace,  Red Micro Gingham, and Deep Ivory Mulberry Roses.  I used my Bow it All tool and Red Seam binding to create a double bow that I placed above my bingo card and top of the heart on the one tag.  I also addded a piece of the Gingham across the bottom of the front of card, under the Cherub,

Mixed Media Fairy Tags

Hello Friends!!

Today I have some cute tags to share with you.

I will be teaching these two tags at the

Gecko Galz Fairy Retreat in March

(yay...it is already sold out).

Not my normal style...these are a bit messy...but sure were fun to create!  I have not even resized any of the images or altered them digitally...so you can purchase the sets and play along easy peasy.  One of my "Intentions" for the year was to try my hand at some mixed media!  So yesterday I played around a bit with some fun messy things...and came up with these two tags.

I have used Digital Images and Papers from Gecko Galz.  Ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon and Chipboard from 

Gina's Designs.  

Here I used two of the XL Oversized Chipboard Tags set of 3,

they measure 4" wide by 8" tall....fabulous!!  I would highly recommend you pick some up....Great pieces to alter!

I will be Guest Designing at Gina's in Feb....I do plan on creating tutorials ......so...you may just want to play along!

On the tag below I used the Floral Symphony Digital Papers from Gecko Galz, Ephemera Days Collage Sheet Set  , Birds of a Feather sheet set and Pixie Children .

I used 7/8 inch Pink Organza (tie at the top, hard to see), Turquoise Diamond Satin and Tiny sheer mini blue dots organza 

from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 On my Second tag I used the same digital papers and sets as above and some of the Acid Green Diamond satin, 7/8 inch Pink Organza (tie at the top, hard to see) and Hot & Shocking Pink Diagonal Ribbon. 

Here are a couple close ups.

I used my Bow it All tool to create the double bow our of the acid green satin and I simply tied a knot with the light pink organza.  I used the Diagonal Ribbon to create the tiny banner. 

I used the Mini dots across my wagon and again I used the Bow it all Tool to create another double bow.

Here is a close up of the tag with another Double bow made with the Bow it all tool.

Bottom of the one tag.

I hope you enjoyed my post, and hope you have some time to pull out your ribbons, images, paints, pens and markers and have some messy fun!

Thank you for visiting !!

Hugs!!
