Craft Roulette - Episode #131

Hey Crafty Friends,

I'm playing along with Craft Roulette this week. If you missed my post last week I explained all about the show and how you can also participate. You can find the post here.

This week we had the lovely Lesley owner and designer of Heffy Doodle. 

Heffy Doodle is also one of the spin sponsors this month. That's right there are prizes to also be won for submitting an entry!

This weeks parameters:

  • Tag with a pocket
  • Colours #team +2 (favourite colour +  others)
  • Light
  • B+W image 


Tag Recipe:

1. Start with a tag die. I am using the Tag Along dies from Heffy Doodle. Die cut it 3 times from a good weight white card stock. You only need to stitched edge die not the one that cuts a shaker window.

2. Take just one of your die cuts and tape down the love is everywhere stencil on top, using 3 tones of inks. For the parameters I'm going #teampurple (my favourite colour) + Orange and Teal.

Flirty Fuchsia, Aquatini and Tiki Torch colours by Catherine Pooler

3. Set this to the side and take another die cut tag. Using a border edge die trim it down a little bit so that you can use this for a pocket on the back of your tag to hold a gift card or even just a picture.

Once die cut down stamp some images in black ink as this will fit your black and white image parameter!

To soften up the white area and to keep the colour combo the same throughout ink up the edges of this section with Flirty Fuchsia ink.


4. Now you have one die cut tag left that we have touched yet, Repeat step 2 with your stencil, for speed I only used Tiki Torch and Aquatini as the rest of the tag is going to be covered by our pocket which we've already inked up with the Flirty Fuchsia to match our front panel.

5. Stamp desired images on alcohol marker friendly card stock and colour in copics. I've stamped the small heart speech bubble from the same Flirty Fuchsia ink I used on my stencil.

6. Use the banner die in the set cut from Plum Pudding card stock and heat emboss your sentiment with super fine white embossing powder.


7. Now we need to put all the elements together. As usual I got ahead of myself and forgot to photo the step of adding the light. If you would like instructions on how to add a light(s) please visit a previous post I created here.

Once you have decided where your press button will be I would stamp an interactive word such as press or push me before you start layering up the tags. I'm using the Interactively Yours stamp set by Heffy Doodle.

I've used one of the newer single lights for this tag as the area is small and I only need a single light for the robots nose.

You need to attach your front stenciled tag with foam tape to the blank white side of your back stencil tag piece to sandwich your light in the middle. This means that when you turn the tag over you see 2 stenciled pieces. 

8. To finish up the tag look and to keep the colour in the right parameters ink up a piece of white card stock with Tiki Torch ink. Just enough to be able to cut 2 of the small eyelets from the die set. Attach these with adhesive glue.

9. Use adhesive glue around the very edge of your pocket to stick to the back, I've only applied glue between the stitching and edge so when adhered you can slot a gift card into it!

10. Stick your images to the front of your tag to finish up!

I hope you've enjoyed today's inspiration, I'll be back soon with more fun creations!

Until next time, happy crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to have

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you
