Special Delivery Tag with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!!
Today I'm sharing a fun, festive, mixed media tag
using products by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. I'm 
using the Rural Mailbox stamp and coordinating
die as the focal for the tag.

The tag background is a mix of inks.  I like to use Distress Oxides.
The images are colored with PanPastels.  The mailbox door is left open
(cut two of the doors and adhered in open position) giving the stamp a 
different look. The ivy branches are also from the Rural Mailbox die set.
The sentiment is added from the Reverse Sentiment set.  The Special
Delivery sentiment is computer generated.  Also used are the The View
from my Yard/ stamp and die (birds), Music Notes and Mixed Media
Numbers set.  I added homespun fabric, as a tie, along with a pear pin and
button.  Last I speckled with white acrylic paint.  The hearts were added with
red acrylic paint.  All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
Thanks for stopping by!!

Post-It-Note ideas with Blue Knight Stamps Mixed Media Products~

Hi there!!!
Today I'm sharing some crafty ideas for
Post-It-Holders.  These are great for an office
friend gift or stocking stuffers.  I'm using my
new Mixed Media products by Blue Knight Stamps.

I was pretty excited when I found the craft color Post-It-Notes on
Amazon, so now you know where my inspiration came from.  I didn't
keep track of measurements, I just created.  Once you get one done
then the measurements are worked out. 
1. L top corner ~ I covered a library card holder with the NEW
Mixed Media Designer paper then stamped it with the
Dictionary BG stamp. I added the Mixed Media Numbers, 
BG Branches and the Reverse Sentiment (Just a Note), to the front.
Tied with home spun fabric and added a button.
2. R top corner ~ I created a folder using craft cardstock and scored
in the middle (for the Post-It-Note pad) to sit. The cover is a 2 3/4" square.
I added a scalloped border to the bottom of the Mixed Media Designer
paper and stamped with the BG Branches and Reverse Sentiments. Twine 
and a button were added.
3. L bottom ~ This one is really easy!  Just cover a coaster or chipboard
with Mixed Media Designer paper, stamp with the Mixed Media Numbers
set and the Reverse Sentiments.  Add a clip and tie with homespun and
a button to the top of the coaster. 
4. R bottom ~ This one is the same as the folder design (on top).
 Supplies are the same.  I sewed homespun fabric, antique trim
and an antique button, on the cover, for a vintage look. 

Some other examples.  These are really fun to create.
The Mixed Media products by Blue Knight Stamps
make them really cute :):) I packaged them in clear bags
and will share with friends. 
All adhesive is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. 
Thanks for stopping by!
It's not to late to make these. Super fun!!

Merry Christmas Tag with Blue Knight Stamps~

Hi there!
Today I'm sharing a "Merry Christmas Tag" using stamps
by Blue Knight Stamps.  So Fun!!!

The tag background is a mix of Distress Oxide inks.  I then added in stamps
 from the Sheet Music BG stamp. Also added in, is the Music Notes
around the Pines and Deer (focal image).  The sentiment is stamped
three times, with different inks, and trimmed out, adhered with
dimensional adhesive using the Reverse Sentiments stamps. The
gift packages are from the Child with Sleigh set.

The bottom border is from the Mixed Media set, stamped in
different colors, punched out and adhered with the "Tiny
Attacher" by Tim Holtz.  Last, stamp numbers in random
spots and then speckle with white acrylic paint. Add a fun
homespun tie with a pear pin and button to finish the tag.
