Flower Tin

Hello, all!  Today I've got a tin project for you! 

If you follow Joy's Life's Design Team blog, you can tell from earlier posts this week, we are featuring fun tins. 

This mini paint can tin is super cute!  It's about 2.25" tall and 2.5" wide.  Just enough big to put something little & special in it!

I love this stamp!  It's from Joy's Tag You're It - Set Two that she released earlier this year.  If you want to, you can grab the tins and rubber stamp set here

I found this paper in my stash and love the colors so much that I didn't want to overwhelm it with a lot of embellishments.  All I did was add some distress ink and glitter to spice it up a little bit. 

Well, that's all for me today!  I hope you enjoyed my simple project. Have a great day!

Bubble Tag Decorations & Blog Hop Winner!

 Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you doing well.

This week, Joy's Life's Design Team are focusing on two of Joy's newest rubber stamp sets - Tag You're It - Set One and Set Two. 

These sets are great because you can make tags with them or full blown cards if you like. 

I hit my dollar store for these large bubble containers and decorated them for my great nephews.

Here's a closeup of the tags.

The saying I chose is from Tag You're It - Set Two.  You can grab yourself a set here.

 For this project, I used my Cameo to draw a rectangle and a circle cut out of it in the size that I needed.  I filled it with digital files from Echo Park Paper's Splash Digital kit.  The sea life dies are from SVG Cuts new Wet N Wild set.  I used the Print and Cut feature to make this entire project. Then I finished it off by using Magic Mesh and crystals for the fish's bubbles.  
 

I'd like to thank all of you who left comments, are followers, and/or like my Facebook page.   I read all comments and am encouraged by them!

Now for the winner of the Pun In The Sun Blog Hop!

"Life is the flower..." Mother's Day Purse

Hello, everyone! Hope you are all having a creative day.

Just in time for May 13th, over at Joy's Life's Design Team blog we are featuring floral projects for Mother's Day this week. 

I made this little purse for my mom. I'm going to put a gift card and a couple of small presents in it.  

This nice saying comes from Joy's Tag You're It - Set Two.  If you don't have it yet, you can purchase it here.

I used my trusty Cameo to make this project and the  following files... 3D trapezoid purse, bow - petals, and 3D flower heart petal.  All the papers come from Echo Park Paper's new Hello Summer set.  (I just love the happy colors!) 

Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate any comments you leave. 

 Happy Mothers Day!!

Embossed Floral Card & Giveaway!!!

Hi, everyone!  Thanks for stopping by!

This has been a fun week of projects and related give aways at the Design Team Blog at JoysLife.com.  For my post, I am featuring a must-have tool for any crafter. 

The stamp is from Joy's Tag You're It - Set Two. 

Can you guess what the giveaway for my post is?  

Joy has these lovely embossing folders to give to one lucky person!  

(All you have to do is leave a comment on the Design Team blog and be a follower of it!) 

Now here's how I made it:

I don't know if you noticed the surface that the ribbon sits on is flat.  I embossed the whole folder except that row.  

Here's what the folder looks like:

I made a template using 3 stacked pieces of chipboard.  How much you use will depend on the thickness.  Using an X-acto knife, remove the chipboard where you DO NOT want any embossing.  

You're ready to emboss using this Cuttlebug combination:

Plate A

Embossing folder with paper in it

Chipboard template

Plate C (mine's been well used but it's still good)

That's all there is to it!  

Be sure to go over to my post at the DT blog to get in on the drawing!
