Summer Magic Tags with Carrie

Hello Everybody, it’s Carrie here with some fun dimensional tags for decorating happy mail, wedding presents, birthdays, or even adding to a layout. I used the Beautiful Dreamer Kit to create these beauties, and here’s how I did it…..

To start off I used plain white cardstock, white foam paper, the 12x12 “Flora, Fauna and Merryweather” paper from the kit, and THIS tag die from Lawn Fawn. The die cut foam window is sandwiched in between the patterned cardstock tag bottom, and white cardstock window using red line tape. This created the base for my tag. Once this step was complete I added small gold eyelets to the tag holes before embellishing.

For these first three tags I used die cuts from the regular die cut pack as well as the floral die cut pack. In some places I used foam adhesive for dimension when layering the pieces together. I also added a few small rhinestones for a little extra sparkle. These tags remind me of the perfect summer garden.

I really love the addition of vellum to the die cut pack, so for both these last tags I used some of the vellum pieces layered with cardstock pieces to make it look more like fluttering wings…..for the butterfly and the unicorn which I apparently made into a unicorn pegasus lol. I used foam adhesive again in some spots, and as a final touch added more small rhinestones.

That’s it for this project, I’ll see ya next time. Thanks so much for taking a look and have a lovely day.

Aimee's "Beautiful Dreamer" Mini

Hey FTC fans, it’s Aimee!

Today I am sharing a mini tag album that is ALL about me!

The Beautiful Dreamer Kit totally inspired me to make a little mini about me.

I mean it’s totally obvious why right??? She’s blonde and she sleeps, that describes me to the T.

 I started this album by cutting the 2, 12x12 papers with 3x4 pocket cards, “Make it Pink, Make it Blue” and “Nap Queen”.

I then printed 8 photos of myself using my instax share printer.

I then choose 8 of the different cards that went best with my photos, and of course I used the tags too.

For my photos I used some Bookmark Tags from Pretty Little Studio {limited availability} as the base.

I embellished my photos and tags using die cuts from the variety pack and stickers from the sticker sheet.

I also labeled my photos with the date by printing on to white cardstock and cutting tiny strips.

I finished embellishing with my tiny stapler and other bits from my stash.

 I put all the tags and cards onto a painted binder ring and also used some charms and a tassel from my stash to give it more pop.

 I love that I finally made a little album just about me!

Do you ever make projects just about yourself???

XOXO Aimee

Water Color and Peonies with Aimee

It’s Aimee again! Today I got messy with the “Beautiful Dreamer” Kit and just had to share with you!

 I went way out of my comfort zone with this one! I mixed water colors with a fancy cut paper and machine stitching.

 I started this layout off by using a cut file from Kim Watson, you can find the file here.  I scaled down the file and cut it using the “Her Name is Aurora” 12x12 paper. You guys, this paper is so beautiful and the decision to cut it was so hard to make!

 I printed my photo to look like a polaroid picture.

 I marked where I was going to adhere my photo and I water colored around the outside of those marks.

Now, I really don’t know how to water color. I just moved some color and water on the paper and this is the final look! This is WAY out of my comfort zone.

 After it dried, I placed a heavy book on my paper and let it dry overnight {I don’t care for how the paper gets wavy after you have put paint/water on it - another reason why this is out of my comfort zone}

 I adhered my photo to my paper and then stitched around the photo several times.

I used some stickers from the sticker sheet to complement the photo, and then I placed my cut file over my photo, adhering it with 3-d foam adhesive.

 I also dated the layout with my date roller stamp! 

 How often do you leave your comfort zone when scrapping???

 XOXO Aimee
