Past Due Tag with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a mixed media tag created using
the Mixed Media set (aka. numbers set) to me :):)
by Blue Knight Stamps. 

I'm also showcasing the Peaceful Retreat stamp and die set.  Don't
the chairs look cool, so Past Due for this relaxing time.  The 
background is a mix of colored inks and moved around with a spritz
of water.  The tree is stamped from the Day at the Lake set.  The 
Birds on Wires is added along with the Music Notes.  The dog is
from the Silhouette Dogs.  The chairs are colored with panpastels.
A punched border is added and then the tag is speckled with
white acrylic paint.  Add a fabric or twine top.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You Tag with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing a Thank You Tag using Beach Stuff 1
by Blue Knight Stamps.  This is from the recent New release!!!
So good. Great for  "popping in" the scene. 

The tag background is created using a mix of Distress Oxide inks. I
then added in the Pines and Distant Mountains stamp.  I put the
tag on a stamping platform so I can restamp to get a dark image.
The horse is stamped, from the Beach Stuff 1 set and numbers from
the Mixed Media set are added in random places.  The
sentiment is from the NEW Reverse Sentiments set.  I so love the look!!
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L.

Did You Know Tag with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing a mixed media tag using the
newly released Mixed Media products by 
Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. 

I love creating tags and I think they look really cool/cute on a gift
bag!!! The background is a mix of Distress Oxide inks watered down.
Kinda of like watercolors. They work the same.  I heat dry after every color
so they mix and don't make mud water.  Next the feathers, and BG branches are added.
Sentiments are added along with a fabric tie at the top.  Speckle with white
acrylic paint for a mixed media look. 
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
Products used: Stamps: Blue Knight Rubber Stamps: Bird Sayings,
 Music Notes, Branches and Leaves, Background Branches, 
and Did You Know.../One Line Sentiments. Ink: Ranger: Distress Oxides

Just a Note Tag ~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a Just a Note Tag created with
Creative Worship Stamps and a few "back in the day"
embellishments!! 

I used scraps of cardstock along with Distress Oxide Inks to
create the background for the mixed media tag.  The stamps used
are very eclectic and I love the vintage appeal!!

The sentiment is by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps called
Reverse Sentiments.  Love it so much!!
The stamps used by Creative Worship are: Nature Silhouettes 4,
Clipboard, Vintage Postcards and Vintage Ledger Page. The
silhouette wildflowers give the tag that "old timey" feel!
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

An Art Share Tag ~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing, what I call, an Art Share tag.  It was
created to give away to someone that loves
Art and creating like I do.  I'm using mostly
Stamper Anonymous products (old ones).  Do you recognize
any?  Wendy Vecchi?

The tag is by Ranger and is distressed using Distress Oxide inks.  I also added
in some color with acrylic paints.  Always fun!  

Love the dollar stamps!!  This is a strip and I just stamped the ones
I wanted.  Paper Dolls and the Word Strips/Small Talk are by Tim Holtz. 
The bottom border is a stamp by Dyan Reaveley.  All adhesive is by 
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
Thanks for stopping by.

Mixing it up with old and new~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing a card that I have used NEW Blue Knight
Rubber Stamps and retired stamps.  Fun to mix it up!!!

I started with the Mixed Media Pattern Paper, a NEW product, and two
retired sets called Rejoice Always and Kind Words Bouquet.  I added
two NEW products called Background Branches (silhouette) and
Reverse Sentiments.  

I couldn't leave out the Mixed Media Numbers Set!!! Love the look
of the numbers, enhancing the background, for a fun eclectic
design.  The script font is from the retired set called 
Rejoice Always by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.

Remembering Jenni Bowlin Studio ~

Hi there!!!
Today I'm sharing a blast from the past, Jenni Bowlin Studio.
This was my favorite paper crafts company back in
the day, around 2009-2013. Do you remember?  I think she was 
ahead of time with her products.  The color palette, vintage ephemera,
clear stamps, inks, punches and scrapbooking papers - all so good!!!!

I'm showcasing stamps from her line to create a couple of vintage
style tags.  The stamps are perfect for the mixed media look!!!

Always loved the labels and silhouette boy and girl.

The word strips are by Tim Holtz/small talk.  Inks are Distress Oxides.

The button is by Jenni too.  She had buttons, chipboard pieces, 
milk caps - the best embellishments.  I still have some!!!

I hope you enjoyed this journey down memory lane.  I still
love her products.  They would fit right in with art journal
pages and the mixed media craze!
Thanks for stopping by.
