New Year

Tuesday with Tara {take 381} Viva Magenta

2023… the adventure begins!

Several years ago I started making my first card of the new year inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year.  Though I have very little time to create these days I knew that I could not overlook the release of Lumberjack Plaid Distress at the end of 2022, around the same time that Viva Magenta was introduced as the 2023 color!

I aimed to create a CAS card, and struggled with it… but my primary pop of ‘magenta’ is on the bird silhouette. 

I planned to add the sentiment and the strip of book print… the rest just ganged up on me so I could no longer call this CAS!  Hope it makes you smile as you join me in facing the adventure we are calling 2023.

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 332} Celebrate!

Happy Tuesday & Happy New Year!  It’s my first Tuesday with Tara for 2022… it only seemed right to bling things up a bit and celebrate!

I love glitter paper for maximum bling with minimum mess, and the 6×6 pads by Memory Box give so many colors in one stack!   I’ve paired it with a solid Cardstock layer with the falling stars die by Tim Holtz cut from it, as well as some of the additional stars cut from the glitter paper itself.

I kept this card really simple, with an embossed sentiment by MFT and a little mouse who snuck in to help out with the sparkle, lifting a star as high as he can!

I had two things in mind when I was making this card… but I tried to keep it neutral enough that it could perhaps be used for a variety of occasions!  First, of course, was a card for the new year!  I try to make one every year and I tend to forget to send them to anyone, so… lol.  I think this will also be a cute card for a new baby or any other celebratory occasion!

It’s a pretty simple card overall, but it carries lots of punch with all the glitter!  I hope you like it and I hope 2022 is a year full of creative days for all of us!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 183}

Happy Tuesday!

It’s hard to believe we are already (more than) a full week into 2019- I hope it’s been off to a BRIGHT start for you!  Today I’m sharing a holiday/New Years Card that features a fun star shaped shaker window & die set by Tonic.  I created it to play along with the “All That Sparkles” challenge we had for December, but wasn’t happy with it at the time… I have since added more sparkle and texture and as well as adding “2019” to one of the stars 🙂  I guess you could say I’m starting the new year with a card makeover (aka Transformation Tuesday)- hope you like it!

Here’s a closer look at my little shaker window… it’s filled with glass & micro beads and a few sequins.    I love the mix of sizes in my shaker 🙂  As you can see, I added Glitter Drops on several stars as well as my die cut words and letter stickers.  These exact products aren’t available in the store right now, but they are in other colors!

Here’s a peek at some of the fun products I used, many of them are older but there’s a chance you’ll find them in your stash 😉
