Bird Houses by Darkroom Door~

Hi guys!

I have been creating with the newly released set called Bird Houses
by Darkroom Door.  I created  cards and gift tags using this stamp
set.  It has so many possibilities and so cute!!!

Bird Houses

First set ~

The Fallen Leaves /BG stamp,  was stamped out twice on watercolor paper and

colored in with duel tip markers by Leisure Arts.  The markers were applied with a

water brush so they give the effect of watercolors.  Very fun and easy!  The background

 papers were cut 3 1/2" X 4" making a small gift bag type card.  The Film/Frame

  was stamped out twice on white cardstock and cut in half, giving four pieces to use

 on each card.  The Bird Houses were colored with the same technique as the

 background was created, using the duel tip markers by Leisure Arts.

  They were stamped on watercolor paper and trimmed out.  The elements were

 layered to create the card front.  Twine was added and the sentiment

 (Sentiment Stamp/Thank You) to complete the cards.

 The card front was adhered (foam  dimensional squares)

 to a folded card.  Black ink splats were added.

Second card set~

These cards are easy and so cute to create!  Start by stamping the Bird Houses (use
each one) to create a background for the card.  Mat on white cardstock and then
a folded black card. Stamp one focal Bird House and color in.  I used Distressed
Oxides with a water brush.   Double mat the focal square on black cardstock.  Stamp
a few leaf branches (Carved Leaves Vol. 1) to the top of the Bird House.  Add a
sentiment flag (Sentiment Stamp/Friendship) to the card front along
with the focal Bird House square.   Splat with black ink to complete the card.

Third set ~ gift tags!

These tags are really fun to make !!  The trick to these are stamp the Bird House 
image on the fold of the paper and then trim out.  These are painted with acrylic paint.
Markers, watercolors or leave them plain ~ still a super cute look for a gift
bag.  Punch a hole in the top, for twine tie on.  Splat with white or black acrylic
paint to complete the tags.   Tip: Leave the fold at the top, allowing the tag to
 be flipped open.

A bottle hang tag with S.e.i.~

Hi, Connie here with a project that will work perfect with my last blog post using the Sprinkles Collection by S.e.i.  This collection is great for cards and making party decorations.  Let me show you~

This is a hang tag, that was placed over a water bottle, with a pack of seeds in the pocket (created on the front of the hang tag).  The dimensions are 3 3/4"W  X  8" L.  Score at 5" and punch a circle
( inch and a half ) in the top flap.  You can make it as long as you need, depending on the size of bottle you want to create a hang tag for.

Create a pocket, decorate and fill it with a birthday treat.  The bottle could also be a soda. So many ways you could put this together.  The ideas are endless.

A fun project!!

More Tropical Fruit with Darkroom Door~

Hi guys!

I have another cool idea using the Tropical Fruit set by Darkroom Door.

This a great little gift, party favor or just plain cute.

These are really easy to make ~

Instructions:

1. Cut pattern paper to 3 3/4" W X 8" L.

2. Laying the paper in landscape position on a score board, score at 2 1/2" .

3. Using a 1 1/2" circle punch, punch a circle in the middle of the small paper (above the score line)

4. Under the score line is where a pocket goes to hold the drink packet.

5. The size for the pocket is 3 1/2" W X 3 1/4" L.  If you like, in the middle of the pocket (before you adhere it to the hang tag) punch a half circle.  Adhere pocket to front of hang tag.

See examples ~

6. Stamp fruit from Tropical set in different colors of ink, on white cardstock and cut them out. 

7. Decorate the front of the pocket.

8. Speckle with black ink or similar product.

9. Add twine.

These are fun to make and great to hang over a bottle of cold water.
