Pretty floral and bling tags

Hello friends!  Dana here with some quick gift tags that are quick and easy with a great vintage feel.

I began by misting four medium Manilla Tags from Want2Scrap with mists by Tattered Angels and Clearsnap Smooch Spritz.  Leave them to dry or speed the process by drying with a heat gun.

Next, a touch of bling from Beautiful Bling Borders-Fancy That! by Nina Brackett.  Use scissors to cut the bling strip into four sections and then each again to provide a top and bottom "bracket" like I assembled them above.

Adding a stamped oval frame, stamped,die cut and glittered butterfly, paper flower, trims and 72 Count - Coral Pearls - Self Adhesive is a snap!  And before you know it....

....you've got a whole collection ready for gift giving!  Thanks for stopping by.

Bee-utiful Bling

Hi, friends! It's Nina here showing you a card with bee-utiful bling today. I stamped the flowers, bees and sentiments. The bees and sentiments are from The Craft's Meow's Thanks Bee to Thee stamp set.

My Inspiration Album...

Every girl needs an inspiration album, full of wonderful things and colors to draw from when you need a little kick start to get creating. I am going to share mine with you. I used this fantastic Assorted Rectangles Chipboard Album by Want2Scrap as a fun starting place.

On each page I focused on a different thing that inspires me. Both technology and of course my wonderful family!

Who is not inspired by fun fabrics and textures? My love of photography and cameras is always a great place to start to get my creative juices flowing.

The beauty of nature and art are always inspiring to me.

When all else fails food and my love of color works every time!

As always just getting my hands a little messy is enough in itself to get me inspired to create.

Of course we need to get some detail shots to give you a feel of how inspiring all these things really can be.

Now it is your turn, create your own inspiration album. It will be fun making it...and drawing from it whenever you need a little push.

Clearsnap Fluid Chalk Ink Pad - Creamy Brown

Place chipboard shape onto scrap paper and paint top surface using foam brush. Allow to dry slightly and apply a second coat of paint.

Remove piece from scrap paper and place on a paint safe surface, removing any excess from crevices by blowing the paint toward the back of the piece and gently wiping away the excess using a paper towel. Allow to dry fully before proceeding to step three.

Use a small piece of fine sand paper to gently scuff the edges of the painted piece.

Look at the entire piece and continue to distress edges until you have a finished "shabby chic" feel to the piece.

If desired, distress the entire top surface of the piece using Creamy Brown Chalk Ink applied with a piece of sponge

Embellish top surface of Chipboard Embellishment Shape as shown using assorted rhinestones & pearls. You now have a finished piece ready to be used on any paper crafted project!
