Crazy 4 Challenges - Teacher Appreciation

It's time to appreciate our teachers over at Crazy 4 Challenges this week.  Minions, they are too funny right?  I just love it and I know my son's teacher will love it too.  
I made the Minion shape using Elizabeth Craft Designs' Tags & More 3 - Leaves die.  To make the hair I used the whiskers from Karen Burniston's Whiskers the Cat.  The mouth and arms of the glasses are from the Ring Accordion.  Let's not forget that sweet bow tie from Four Bows.  I used various circle dies to create the eyes.

I used Little Letters Thinlits to create the sentiment with just enough room left for my son to sign his name.  I'm loving that holographic paper that I upcycled from some holiday packaging.

Happy Stampin',

Raquel

Elizabeth Craft Designs' October Designer Challenge - Tags & More die sets

The Elizabeth Craft Designs' Design Team was challenged to use the new dies Tags & More die sets for this month's challenge.  Challenge accepted!
The idea of making Honey into Honey Claus just came to me and I admit it was very easy when you have such fabulous dies to work with.


For Honey's hat I used the party hat from Props 2 & I hand cut the fuzz on the top of the hat.  For Honey's beard I used Dutch's chest accessory piece.  To get the belt & gloves, I hand cut those from the detail layer of Honey.  The present is from Evergreen Pivot Card, each tree was embossed and I used the die as a stencil to color with a gel pen.

Up next is Fox the Red Nose Reindeer

For Dutch's antlers I used the arms from Snowman.  To cut the tag, I die cut both the brown tag & patterned paper at the same time, then trimmed the patterned paper.  In the Tags & More 3 -Leaves die set there are several circle reinforcements to choose from.

Here is what the back of the tags look like.

I hope you have enjoyed my Tags & More die sets creations and if you have any questions please leave a comment.

Happy Stamping,
Raquel

Spectrum Noir October Challenge - Embellishments

 

I created this super cute multi tag card using Elizabeth Craft Designs' latest dies called Tags & More.  My idea was to make the colors like a candy corn, not edible of course, but sweet.  The images were stamped onto white card stock, colored with Spectrum Noir markers, fussy cut then I used dimensionals to adhere them to the card.

 

Here's a close up of the first panel cut using Tags & More 2 Deco.  The stamped image has the required embellishment of a "Tin Pin" that matches the stamp set.  The eyes in the tree were cut from Chilly the Penguin onto Double Sided Adhesive that I covered with Spring Peridot Silk Microfine Glitter.  The All Seasons Tree creates a wonderful backdrop for our little pirate Trick-or-Treater.

 

 

The center tag was cut using Tags & More 1 Lace.  All of the images were colored using Spectrum Noir and fussy cut.  The sentiment was stamped onto an oval from Katie Accordion.



The end tag was cut using Tags & More 3 Leaves.

I hope everyone has a fun Halloween.

Happy Stamping,
Raquel
