Tuesday with Tara {take 443} Every Little Thing

Sometimes we need a reminder that every little thing is going to be alright.  Today’s card is a spin off inspired by our current Inspiration Hop theme- Sunshine & Rainbows!  If you haven’t checked it out, it’s not too late to get your name in for a chance to win, and leave our creative team of ladies some love while you are at it!

I’ve used some of the extra cut out pieces from the larger rainbow on my other card to make a mini one here, pairing it with these fun cloud border dies (with stitched edges, like the oblong dies I used for my rainbow!) and letting this sweet Piglet stamp & sentiment by Impression Obsession steal the show!

I used some mini butterfly dies from my stash (these are by Memory Box) cut from scraps and mounted the card layers onto a sunny Marigold card base to keep things really bright!

Little details like using the body from a different piglet stamp to add stripes to some of the butterflies and cutting the middle layer of clouds from inky book print add some fun interest that keep this card from being totally crisp.  I love adding inky details to my cards!  Hope this one brings a smile to your day!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 439} Dogwoods

Happy Tuesday!

The dogwood trees are in glorious full bloom where I live, so I couldn’t resist making a card with the lovely Dogwood Triptych Die by Memory Box.  I die cut it in white and layered the pieces over a panel from the Vintage Letters 6×6 pad by Impression Obsession.  I wanted to keep my card soft and neutral, so colored it as realistic as I was able with Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons, then pieced some green behind the open centers.  It was a bit brighter than I wanted, so I added some 3D dots with Glossy Accents and brushed a bit of copper (Mined Alloy) over them once they were dry.

I’ve used Lamb’s Ear cardstock as my card base- it’s a soft grayish green that was a lovely base for some white embossing of an older Tim Holtz sentiment, reminding us that Hope is Never Lost (kinda speaks like spring, to me!).  I added a pierced stitch border along each side of the paper panel for a bit of extra interest. (These are stitched borders by Paper Rose.)

I was going for a soft a simple card today, so I hope that comes through!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 369} Sweet Treats!

Happy Tuesday!

Today’s make is a quick & easy one, but I hope it inspires you to look outside the box for fun ways to DIY some sweet treats for Halloween!

I’m sharing a mini-makeover on some fun lollipops that are triangular.  They were marked down significantly because they were originally from EASTER (wrapped in a cello bag with a green topper). I removed the bags and started to think pumpkins & candy corn… so I knew I could do something fun to make these into Halloween treats!  After looking around at my options that would be a good fit, I decided on more of the Mishcievous Cat Dies by Tim Holtz!  Several of the cats I had cut out for my treat bags (from the So Sweet Inspiration hop) were a perfect fit so I cut even more and adhered them to the lollipops.  Seriously, the hardest part of this project was cutting and releasing the dies from Glitter Cardstock.  Adhering them was easy when I applied Be Creative Tape to the back of the Cardstock before running it through my Big Shot!

I seriously love how cute these turned out!  Sometimes the easy things are the most visually appealing!  In this case, there’s just something about that shiny hard candy against a whimsical, glittery black cat 🙂

Hope you have a sweet day!  If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out the So Sweet Inspiration Hop!

Inky hugs,

Tara
