Try it Tuesday~Classic Motorcycles by Darkroom Door~

 

 

 

Hi everyone, Connie here with a couple of card ideas using Classic Motorcycles  by Darkroom Door.  This was a fun set to work with.  On these cards I used the 3D-Stempel Farbe by Viva Decor as my background  (sponged on glossy cardstock).  The motorcycles are embossed with black embossing powder on cardstock.   These cards are truly made for a  free spirited gal. 

 

 

I thought I needed to make something for  the guys, so I came up with some very easy gift tags.  These will look great tied on a special beverage or gift.  The trick on these is to stamp the handle bars (of motorcycle stamp) close to the fold.  When you cut out the image leave that part alone.  I stamped these on Kraft cardstock and used brown ink.  

Thanks for stopping by and check out the USA stockist HERE.

March mini album~

 

 Hi everyone~before I tell you about this super cute mini album kit {designed by Leah Farquharson for JBS} I want to thank all of you for the support you showed me on my guest blogger post for Shimelle .com

I hope you will make sure and tell me when you are guesting so I can pay it forward!!! Again I appreciated it so much:):):)

 This is the March mini album kit and it is full of lots of cute stuff.  It is designed to be used as a birthday mini album, but as you can see you can certainly put your own spin on it. Mine is used as a record of some of my junkin' finds.

Vintage labels~

 

Hi guys~another quick project using the vintage labels that are in the JBS Mercantile March Antiquarian  kit.  To make the flower I used the pinwheel punch and the quilt punch, added some leaves and moss.  The green bottle is vintage and the brown one isn't but I think it looks vintage. I just checked and this kit is sold out.  You can go Here and see what is still in stock.

***********************************************

Friday is an exciting day~I hope you will be around. I will have two blog posts for the day, one early in the day and the other,  late in the evening.  If not you will see it Saturday!!  Always~ Thanks for stopping in today!!! See ya soon!!

Tart Tins~ a quick tutorial!

 

Hi guys~A quick, fun little project using the tart tins by JBS.  These make great photo stands for kid art and recipes holders {just a few that come to mind}~ really anything you want to showcase!

 

This explains it pretty good but I might add on #2,  be sure to hammer on the block of wood {placed inside the tin} if not you will have a sunken place on top of the tin~ask me how I know that:):):)LOL.

On #5 I put hot glue over the wires and then they didn't move around.  I wanted a clean look so I punched a circle and covered up the wires on #6.

 

And what is super cool ~the tart tins are on sale this month in the JBS Mercantile. Take a look HERE~ and check out the pinwheel punch, my new favorite punch!!! 

  See ya soon~
