Winter Tag Set

 

Hello, my crafty friends!

Did you see the  2021 QFD Tag Challenge that is going on on the Suzanne Cannon Fanpage? We are sharing tags every week. Suzanne or Robyn set a theme, but you can do any tag, whatever your heart desires. Those of you who follow Suzanne on Facebook know that I love chocolate. That said, I had to find a way to combine the tag challenge and chocolate. Suzanne designed a tag with a little pocket and lucky me, my favourite chocolate bar fits in there :-)

Other materials used:

Modern Gilding Powders Burnished Silver

QFD Stamp "Kindness is like snow"

Watching the magic happen :-) I love heat embossing, because it adds this extra effect to your art project.

Here is another pocket tag I made. This time without chocolate, but with a litte tag to put inside the pocket.

Cheers,
Kora

Halloween Card Using HALLOWEEN TREE CUPCAKE BOX

Hello! Here we are on the 19th of August already. I feel as if summer is moving along too fast but also love the season that follows! I love crisp days, autumn colours and Halloween! I got the urge to make a Halloween card this weekend despite the 29C day!

Browsing through Suzanne’s Silhouette store, I found the perfect cut file for what I had in mind! The Halloween Tree Cupcake Box! The file cut as made, is pretty sweet, but I did not need all the elements that made it 3D!

I pulled the design into my Design Space, I use a Cricut Maker.

 

Next I hid all the elements I did not require. This left me with the tree, owl, bat, cat and part of the box. Using my software I grabbed a square and used the “slice” feature to remove the box. If you are not sure how to do this, it is just as easy to cut  the entire piece and cut using scissors. I cut two identical images.

My background and moon were layered using some gel prints I had previously made. I can get lost in that process and just save all the prints for use in cards, journals and scrapbooks.

I took one of my images and sliced off the owl, cat and bat with scissors.

I embosses these parts using Quietfire Design Gilding Powders in Copper Scroll and Gothic Black. I like the extra texture it adds when adhered to the full cut image.

As a finishing touch, I used the Quietfire Design stamp, Something Wicked, with Gothic Black Gilding Powder to add my sentiment!

I finished the card with some littles eye details using a Dylusions Paint Pen and some purple washi tape. I can’t wait to send it off to someone this coming October!

Thanks for checking out my project this week! Let's not whisk away summer too quick, but there is no shame in feeling some Autumn feels!
