Guest Designer - Tag You're It #57

Hello and welcome!!

I'm thrilled and honored to be the Guest Designer for Tag You're It Challenge #57.

 For this challenge, the inspiration is an awesome tag created by Richard Breaks.

This is the inspiration tag:

 

My inspiration from Richard's tag was to make a coffee theme tag using brown tones.

Here's my tag...

I created a gift card holder on the back of my tag...

To make my tag:
1. I die cut a tag from white cardstock. Stamped the polka dots using brown ink.
2. Die cut the mug from patterned cardstock and adhered to a scalloped circle.
3. Die cut The word 'thanks' three times, two from pink cardstock and one from brown cardstock.
4. Heat embossed "A LATTE'  and the words 'TO' and 'FROM' using white embossing powder.


For more inspiration from the Design Team head over to Tag You're It Challenge blog, and I hope you'll play along, too! You could be our next Guest Designer!

Birthday Wishes Tag

Hello and welcome!!

Today I'm sharing a cute tag that I made to play along with Tag You're It #56.
The inspiration tag for this challenge features gradient colors, gold, and a big bold sentiment. So I was inspired by those elements to create my tag.

For my tag... I stamped three chevron using three different tones of teal to give the gradient look.
I heat gold embossed the sentiment and then stamped three cute hearts using the same teal ink colors.

Here's my tag...

This is the inspiration tag:

Happy Fall 2016!

Hello and welcome!!

Fall is here, yay!! I'm so excited because it's my favorite season. I love how the weather gets a little cooler, and how the trees change colors into reds, golden yellows and oranges. It's just beautiful!

So today I want to share a card to welcome the Autumn. I focused on those beautiful leaves and colors typical of the season. I hope you like it!

First, I made a card base from kraft cardstock. Die cut the bottom front using a scallop edge die. For the inside, I added a piece of patterned paper.

I heat embossed some gold splatters and the sentiment  to the front of the card.

For the leaves,  I sponged some distress inks on white cardstock, creating the typical fall colors. Die cut and adhered them to the card. As a final touch, I tie a hemp cord with a bow.

***************
¡Hola! Hoy inicia el otoño y estoy muy feliz, porque es mi estación favorita del año.
Me encanta cómo el clima se torna un poco más fresco, y cómo las hojas de los árboles se empiezan a teñir de rojos, amarillos y anaranjados. ¡Es simplemente precioso!

Por eso, hoy les quiero compartir una tarjeta para darle la bienvenida al otoño. Me enfoqué en las hojas y esos hermosos tonos típicos de la época. ¡Espero les guste!

Here's my card...
