Shimmery Tags

Our theme for this week at My Sheri Crafts is "Misted". I altered some shipping tags using sprays and stains from Lindy's Stamp Gang. I did a resist technique by embossing the background with clear embossing powder, then layering the mists and stains on top of the design.

I used the Chandeliers stamp from Inkadinkado for the image. I added Stickles and Liquid Pearls to make the image pop. The flourishes are from Tim Holtz, which I covered with clear embossing ink, applied embossing powder, then heat-set it.

I colored some white flowers from Petaloo and Recollections with sprays and stains from Lindy's Stamp Gang, then added Stickles along the edges. The butterfly was colored using Lindy's Magical Mica. The pearls and crystals were from The Paper Studio.

The lace and the crystal brads that I used here were from my stash. The keyhole and key were from Tim Holtz's grunge elements. The stamped image was from Inkadinkado.

Graphic 45 Christmas Past Wordbook

Our theme at My Sheri Crafts for this week is... Christmas! I just got my Gypsy after debating with myself for more than a year if I really need one. Black Friday made it possible for me to get one at a fraction of its original cost, and here I am, designing my life away. lol! I made this wordbook using Plantin' Schoolbook and Storybook. I used my Graphic 45 Christmas Past paper stack and my Bind-It-All for binding. A lot of Stickles and Flower Soft were used, but not harmed in the making of this project. :-D Watch out for the video that will be posted by middle of this week!
The Gypsy file of the wordbook is available here.











The embellishments at the last page were made using Ornamental Iron and Heritage Cricut carts.

Precious Moments Tri-Shutter Christmas Card


I got this stamped image from a previous Secret Sister swap and a good friend of mine expressed her admiration for the image, so I made a card for her for our Christmas Secret Sister swap. I used DCWV's Christmas pack from last year. The "NOEL" was cut at 1" using my Blackletter Solutions cartridge. I colored the darling image with Copics, and embellished it with liquid pearls, smooch inks and Stickles. Inside the tri-fold card were more embellishments--- the red flower stickers from KI, a cardinal sticker from Jolee's Boutique, a lovely fabric trim, and the gold rick-rack sticker from Jolee's Boutique. The red crystals were from The Paper Studio. The sentiment was computer generated and the label was using a die from Spellbinders. The gold pearls were from Viva Decor Pearl Pen.
