MFT Baby Tags

Happy Monday! This is Kim and I am so very excited to be sharing my first post with you for Butterfly Reflections Ink! This is making my first day back to work after a two-week break a happy one! I am sharing baby gift tags today, one of my friends is expecting and not sure what she is having so I made one of each!

I used my We R Memory Keepers Fuse Tool for the first time and loved it! I cut my own Tim Holtz watercolor paper to the size of tag I wanted (2 3/4 x 4 1/4) and cut the edges with my trimmer.  I stamped my sentiments that are by Lawn Fawn Hello Baby with VersaMark ink and used white embossing powder. For the girl tag I used a mix of Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks and for the boy tag I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Inks.  I sprayed both tags with some water and dabbed it off. I then stamped my images by My Favorite Things Snuggle Bunnies for the girl and Magical Dragons for the boy.  I colored my images and then fussy cut the dragon (should have bought the dies)  and die cut the bunnies . I then glued them to my tags and fused my plastic (left an opening to add the sequins, in hindsight I would have left some margin room on either side for a little give to add the sequins).  The sequins are from Tayored Expressions for the girl tag in Snow Flurries and for the boy tag by Lucy's Cards in Mint.

Thanks so much for taking the time and I will be back next Monday with another project!

MFT - Miss You

Quiet holiday here in Quebec! Feels good to have the first of two long-weekends! Spent the morning organizing my craft room/office and I finished off this card featuring My Favorite Things products.

I finally received my backorder die-cuts from MFT for the Snuggle Bunnies set, I just love this set. While I was at my local craft store Scrapbook Centrale I also picked up the MFT Peek-a-Boo Wonky Window dies and the Written in Watercolor sentiments.  I offset and stamped the Miss You twice, once in Versafine Black then clear embossed and repeated again with VersaMark and clear embossed. I saw Jennifer McGuire do this in a video and I simply love the effect it gives. I then used Shaded Lilac and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks on my smaller inside panel then sprayed with my Distress Sprayer. The Paper is Neena 80lbs so the droplet effect is more subtle then on watercolour paper. I took the same distress colours and used the Diagonal Stripe stencil also by MFT for the larger top Neena panel. I the created my shaker and added a mix of Black, Violet and Turquoise splotches on the top left of the card.  I stamped and Copic coloured my bunny and placed him on top of the shaker.  Finished off with a mix of sequins and some twine!

Thanks for taking the time!

Have a great weekend!
