About Me

I am a new empty nester, and I love to make cards and ATCs. I am always looking for ways to use the product I have, to learn new techniques and ways to do things, and most of all, to have fun with the creating of my art.

Here are some more tags.  With the kraft tags, I was inspired by Vera Rhuay and her kraft tags (top photo),  so I made some kraft tags myself... All stamps are Hero Arts.  I cut the kraft tags out with a punch, then used either the Friend Definition or Musical Background stamp. I then used the Ornament and star from Swirl Christmas , stamped and cut them out, then layered them on punched out circles of patterned paper.

The snowmen tags I did on shipping #5 tags, with Vintage Sepia ink, and Hero Arts stamps.  I stamped the snowman on the tag, and on scrap cream cardstock, coloured, and cut out the snowman on the scrap cardstock.  I then masked the snowman and over stamped in Friend Definition ( vertical tag) and Musical Background ( horizontal tag).  With the vertical tag, I just added a couple of punched circles with the Hero Arts sentiment "Wishes of Joy". and foam mounted it on the tag.  With the musical background snowman, I  hand cut a banner and stamped "fa la la la la" and taped it to the snowman, using foam tape for the far end of the banner for dimension.  I then  foam mounted the second snowman over the first snowman.

  1. I am so thankful for my family and our health during this Christmas season. We so take that for granted. One of our Christmas traditions is that when we exchange our gifts we open them according to our ages - youngest obviously gets to go first :-)
