Tuesday with Tara {take 402} Miss You

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing a card made with some of the pieces you will have seen me prep in the last couple of Crafty Lives I’ve done on our Facebook page!  Two weeks ago I showed how I create these fabulous Crinkle Ribbons and last week I made some neutral toned inky backgrounds ready to be die cut as tags!

I finally succumbed to the temptation and got the mini brushstoke flower dies by Tim Holtz– they are sooo cute, but have intimidated me because they are so tiny!  I had some inked up (actually Dina Wakley Glossy sprayed up) backgrounds from a previous project and decided to cut a few of them out.  They turned out really cute and were such a fun addition to the smallest of the tags I die cut!

 

I paired the little tags with a bold sentiment that overlaps the tags, bringing them together as one focal point.  (This one by MFT is out of stock, but here’s another fab die set!).  The addition of one tiny flower behind the dot in the ‘I’ and a few pink jewels helps everything flow.  I stuck with neutrals for my background in contrast to the vibrant colors of the flowers and finished it off with a pretty yellow ribbon!

Hope you like it and that it gives you some inspiration to use up some of the fabulous inky scraps you have on your work space!  Pull out some die cuts and see what you can do to make a future project quick & easy!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 401} Coffee soon!

Happy Tuesday!

I’ve used Papercut Cafe once again, I actually took inspiration from the cards I made for the Christmas in July blog hopbut wanted to feature one of my fabulous Crinkle Ribbons on a ‘anytime’ card!   The little coffee sentiment is from Colorado Craft Company- I think it’s a perfect fit!

This card features Prize Ribbon Blue and is super simple, except for fun neutral inky details (including text from a stencil) on the die cut circle.  I’ll be working on prepping some backgrounds and tags similar to the one you see here on my Facebook live this week, so we should have some fun elements ready to go for upcoming creations!

If you haven’t caught the blog hop yet, there’s still time to hop & comment for a chance to win!  And of course I’d love to see you live on Facebook this Thursday at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST.

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 399} Canadian Cats, eh!

Happy Tuesday!

We had some fun on Thursday night during my FB live getting creative with some Canadian themed cards for Canada Day!  I didn’t have anything handy I could use as a maple leaf, so I decided to have some fun with other shapes.  When I came across the Mischievous Cats dies by Tim Holtz I knew that would be a fun choice!  Here’s two varieties of my fun card:

For both cards I worked with a background of book print paper with a wash of white gesso over it, die cut with a stitched rectangle shape. I painted my red panels with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Paint.  For this first card, I die cut a cat from a deep red card stock, then painted lightly over it with the same paint to help it match a bit better.

I love the texture of the card stock, especially on the raised head.

For the second card, I went for a perfect match and cut the cat from white card stock which I painted red first.   It definitely gives a more intense color!  Both cards are finished off with Bold Sayings by Tim Holtz stamped in matching Distress Oxide ink and an ‘eh’ from an O Canada! stamp set in black.

These cards are simple, but a fun and creative interpretation of the Canadian flag!  Hope you like them!  Catch a replay of my live on Facebook HERE.

(I had a bit more inspiration during clean up at the end of my live… visit my blog or instagram to see what else I made!)

 

Inky hugs,

Tara
