Plot Twist

Life can be so unfair. You never know when a curve ball will come flying at you. This one is for a friend who was thrown a curve ball and is awaiting the results of a test. Hoping and praying for the best outcome for her! In the meantime, I've sent her this jumbo tag/card to let her know she's in my thoughts and prayers. 

I combined nine (or maybe more??) Heidi Swapp stamp sets for this one. 

So many positive messages! I hope it will make her smile. 

This color combination was inspired by Ashley Horton. It is so yummy I had to use it. :)

Let's Go

Love these travel theme stamps from Heidi Swapp (except the Eiffel Tower - that is one from my stash of MFT stamps). A regular sized tag just for fun.

The rolling suitcase (isn't it so cute!?) is not a tag, I just cut it out and punched a hole. Same for the camera; tied them to the ribbons with thread. 

I love the "out of office" sentiment. (Even though I no longer work in an office, it's still satisfying to stamp those words. LOL)

I took this pic before I found my Eiffel Tower stamp. The Heidi Swapp stamp sets I used. 

Every Adventure...

...is worthwhile. This is a sentiment from a Tim Holtz stamp set, Nature's Wonder. I used it with another Tim Holtz set called Tiny Toadstools, which I cannot get enough of. I love love love that set. Also, I just realized I used the same color combination as I did a couple of tags ago, which I also love. Let's look closer.

The tag itself is a die from a set by Tim Holtz. It is larger than what I call a "regular" size and smaller than the Heidi Swapp jumbo size. I used NINE stamp sets for this one tag; 2 Tim Holtz and 7 Heidi Swapp. The ink colors are Distress Oxide in Antique Linen, Spiced Marmalade, and Iced Spruce with a little bit of black. The tiny tag at the top is a Heidi Swapp die.

For the background I used the March 24 Stamp Society textures set by Heidi Swapp. There are twelve stamps in the set, and I used four of them just on this background. It is so versatile and one I will definitely use over and over again. 

All the stamp sets and ink colors.

MFT Color Challenge 233

For this color challenge, I ended up using just two of the four colors in the palette. I couldn't make the orange and yellow fit with the images I chose to use for this birthday card, but I'm happy with the way the two colors work together. 

I added these adorable balloons and banners from Heidi Swapp to finish the party feel of the birthday message using Distress Oxide ink colors kitsch flamingo and salvaged patina. 

This stamp set is MFT The Micest Thing. They are so sweet. 

For the images, I used copic colors that coordinate with the MFT ink colors, BG32, RV09.

Birthday dude

All the grands are big kids now, we don't have babies anymore and it's kind of sad. However, they have all grown into wonderful and amazing young adults and we couldn't be more proud of them. This is for the middle grandson (we have 3; and 5 girls). 

These jumbo tag cards are so much fun to create. I hope he likes it. 

Distress oxide colors I used for this one are Chipped Sapphire, Peeled Paint, and Rusty Hinge.

Lots of fun elements here; balloons, banners, confetti, washi and more.

I love using large alphabets and numbers. These aren't even my largest! 

Fun mini tag attached. It's a camera (sideways in this pic).
