MISTI and Reverse Confetti: Slimline Corgis

 

Hello and welcome to Team Tuesdays! This is Susan up on the blog. Today's card was inspired by my youngest granddaughter's love of dogs aka "daws". Her first stuffed animal "daw" was a Corgi so I had to use Reverse Confetti's Corgi Cuties and the Fold Over Tag windows.

Using my MISTI, I stamped the Corgi images with Memento Tuxedo Black which is safe for Copic Coloring. I then used E31, E33 and E35 with a touch of E39 for the brown fur. For the white fur, I used W00, W1 and a bit of W2. To add a bit of pink here and there I used R30. I used the accompanying Confetti Cuts to cut out each little image.

I then die cut 3 tags using a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb card stock. Again using my MISTI and Little Piggy ink from W Plus 9 Designs, I stamped a sentiment/image on each tag. To make sure the sentiments would all be level with one another, I lined up the tags on the MISTI using magnets and checked the level with one of my Creative Corners. Then I taped each tag shut. I very carefully added dry adhesive to each Corgi and placed them in the window of the tag. 

The final card is a Slim Line card and is cut to 3.5" x 9". I trimmed the pink polka patterened paper to 3.25" x 8.75". I used my L shaped Creative Corner to line the tags up before adhering them with foam tape. I really had a lot of fun making this card because I can see my granddaughter playing with her Corgi in my head. So happy!

Friends Make Life Better

Hi everyone,

Ilina here! Today I am sharing a card that combines few products from different companies and I am very pleased how it turned out!

I used Gel Press and a stencil from Picket Fence Studios (along with few distress oxide inks) to create my background. I put my Gel Press plate on top of my MISTI which allowed me to move it around easier and apply the ink and spread it with the brayer much easier. 

Once I created the background, I prepared the rest of the elements, the branch die cuts using My Favorite things die and the Strip sentiments and die set from Taylored Expressions.

To assemble the panel I cut down the gel press print to 4" x 5 1/4" adhered the die cuts and the sentiment and to finish it off I added several Honey Bee gems!! Using craft foam adhered to white note card! 

 

My Favorite Things Blog Hop & Giveaway

Remember, back in the old days of stamping when we had to actually measure and cut and score and fold and engineer our own treat packaging?

I'm THRILLED that those days are gone, and companies come out with cute little dies with windows that take all the math and engineering off our hands so we can just have fun.

We are collaborating with My Favorite Things today, and when I saw their nugget die and matching shaker pouches, I squealed - I used to spend hours constructing little nugget boxes, as they are one of my favorite treats to decorate and give out at drive throughs, etc. 

So I went to work on this adorable treat tag by doing the following. 

First, I used my Life Changing Blender brushes to apply Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks to a full sheet of label paper, which I cut in half after using this stencil and a wet Absorber to put the heart pattern subtly all over it. I took one half of the paper and stuck it down to white cardstock. I then cut two of the main tag die shapes out of this. Then I took the window portion of the nugget die and cut a window out of one of the tags. If you then take the window piece that it cuts out, you can use the tag topper die on that piece and save a little paper! So that's what I did. Then I lined the two tags up back to back, and I traced the window from the front of the tag onto the back of the other tag. I held the tag up to my magnifying desk lamp and positioned the die that cuts the opening along the trace line and taped it down for die cutting. I set the front tag with the topper up in my MISTI and stamped the sentiment from this hilarious set in Nocturne on the bottom of it.

Next, I took the other half of the label paper and I cut three label wrappers from it with the wrapper die. I did not put this paper on cardstock - I wanted it to be thinner. I lined those up in my MISTI and I stamped the little heart from this set onto each of them. Then I removed the liner from the label paper and wrapped the nuggets - I got the assortment bag so I put one of each in there. 

Then I slipped the insert into the tag with the topper. To make it easy to secure, I put 1/8" Scor-Tape around the lip of the little nugget insert. Then I ran Connect Glue all around the edges of the first tag. 

 I lined up the two tags and glued them together! Here's what the back looks like with that fun opening slot from the nugget die. I finished it off with some turquoise glitter ribbon.
