"Hazel & Nutty" talk "Christmas"!

Hey there, my sweet friends!! It's Monday again! And I'm back from the most fantabulous vacation in St. Maarten! I tell ya, hanging out in the Carribbean for 9 days is just a little slice of heaven!! Here's a pic of our beach chairs . . . would'ja just look at that stunning turquoise water!! Sigh! I miss it already!

I'm happy to be back home, though . . . I've missed my own bed . . . and my studio . . . and my stamps . . . and my Copics!! Oh, oh, oh . . . and guess what? I have a fun new Sugar Nellie DT project to share with you!!

This week's "tag" card is part of that commissioned order I mentioned a couple of weeks ago! This little darlin' is called "Hazel & Nutty" and is part of Sugar Nellie's Home Grown Collection available at Funky Kits. Aaacck! I just checked the store, and it seems that the Hazel & Nutty stamps are temporarily out of stock. Please keep checking, though . . . there's more stock being added all the time. (Sorry about that.) Here's a peek at the "sentiment" tag . . .

Okey dokey . . . that's it for me, my lovelies! Thanks so much for stopping by once again to see what I've been up to . . . and for your very sweet comments! Hugs . . . until next time . . . .

Jasmine goes "vintage" (sort of) . . .

Hey ho . . . it's Monday again! And I'm going on vacation in just a few days! Wheet whooo!! So, since I have to seriously contemplate packing, I'll get right to my Sugar Nellie DT project!!

OK, here's the deal . . . I made this "tag" card as part of a rather large commissioned order for a friend of mine who lives in Florida! I sure hope she likes it! I added a bit of Vintage Photo Distress Inks to all the edges . . . it looks really, really dark in these photos . . . especially on the butterfly border thingie . . . but, in real life, it's much more subtle! I'm blaming it on the fact that the sun had already gone down by the time I took these pics! arrggh! This sweet little image is "Jasmine" and is available HERE at Funky Kits. Here's a side view . . .

You're toooooo kind!

Hello there my sweet friends!! Today I have another tag card for you to peek at. I have discovered that I quite enjoy making tag cards! This is my second ever . . . and I think it turned out rather cute (if I do say so myself! hehe!) What'cha think?

This little cutie is Coriander, one of the Sweet November stamps from C.C. Designs. I'm embarrassed to admit that, while I've had this adorable stamp for more than a year, THIS is the FIRST time it's been within spitting distance of an ink pad!! But, I tell ya, what a delightful image to color!! Here's sort of a side view . . .

I used Blushing Bride cardstock from Stampin' Up! Oh, that sentiment is from SU too. I thought this would make a nice little "Thank You" card for a sweet friend, Kim, who just sent me a fabulous "Craftin' Care Package!" (Kim . . . avert your eyes! Or at least act really surprised when it comes in the mail! hehe!)

Here's the rest of my card "recipe" . . .
