I'm so excited to start my second year as a design team member with Tattered Angels! You should have seen my art room recently. It's covered in bottles of glimmer mist, glimmer glam and glimmer glaze. Sheer Heaven I tell you!
On of my 1st new projects of the year is..... this ART Tag.
Brand New Jewel Goddess die template by Julianna Hudgins, for Spellbinders Paper Arts, was used to create the goddess shape. I love how the Glimmer Mist colors blend and shimmer on her shape.

Visit the Spellbinders Blog each day for links to the participating blogs. We are pleased to work with these talented Designers:
Begin by placing the die template on a large manilla shipping tag. Mist the tag with your favorite color. Allow the mist to soak in about 5-7 seconds. Lay a paper towel on top and run your brayer over the paper towel to soak up excess mist.
Allowing the mist to sit too long, will result in the color bleeding under the die template. Remove die template and rinse die template.
Repeat this process with a second color. It helps if you choose colors that coordinate well together. Allow the tag to dry, or dry with a heat gun.
Stitch around the edges of the shipping tag with your sewing machine.
Use the Distrezz It All to quickly distress the edges of the tag. This electric machine makes very quick work or roughing up the edges. I just love it.
Adhere the tag to a piece of cream cardstock and trim to approximately 1/4" on all sides.
Cut/emboss Retro Mod Clocks out of color core cardstock and sand. Cut/emboss Fancy Tags Two and the clock face out of cream cardstock. Use the die template as a stencil and ink directly onto the clock face die cut.
Use your own handwriting to write the sentiment onto Fancy Tags Two die cut. Adhere the die cut to the Fancy Tags Two Nestaboard and apply Fancy Tags Two Silver Rhinestones.
Place a 3D Black Foam Squares to the clock face and pendulum, and adhere them to the clocks. I stacked 2 of the Black Foam Squares to the back of the Nestaboard to help it really pop off the tag.
Adhere all the elements to the shipping tag. Tie a ribbon around the tag and create a bow. Distress the edges of the tag using the Distrezz It All.
That's all there is to it! I hope you enjoyed learning a new technique for using your Spellbinders die templates.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today!
I'd love to hear your suggestions and thoughts about projects you'd like to see in the coming year!
I have to say this is one of my favorite cards. It just really came together for me. I created a quick tutorial, and wrote a little bit about Wyoming as well.
I just want to send out a big "Thank You" to all of you who take the time to read my blog, and to those of you who leave comments. I really appreciate it!!
I'm sure you're just as busy as I am this holiday season. I have made an effort to get stuff done ahead of time and not wait until the last minute. lol So far I've made 9 jars of Apple Butter, all the Christmas presents are bought but 2, the Christmas Cards are almost finished, my home is decorated and one Christmas program has been attended. Whew! I'm feeling pretty good about it all!
Here's a sweet picture of my Arianna Faith taken last night, right before her Christmas program. She sang her heart out. She has the most beautiful voice ever!
Ok, now on to crafting.......here are two projects I made recently for the Spellbinders Blog. Candy canes seem to be my creative theme at the moment!

Hey Check it out! I just got my first iphone 4s (that goes perfectly with my Macbook Pro) and I am in Heaven!
I love QR codes and decided to try one in my blog to see how many people actually use them. So, if you have a smartphone with a QR code reader app, scan this QR code to be taken to the actual blog post with video tutorial!
Isn't technology fabulous?!!!
Wow! Lots of eye candy in one blog post huh? Hope you enjoyed this. Let me know what you think of picture tutorials, video tutorials and QR Codes. I'd love to know.
I left the Fancy Tags Two die cut blank to personalize with our family name or the year we used this journal. You could also personalize it for a gift!
Is it just me.....or don't you just love how the light catches on the bling!! It is so fabulous and makes the journal look so festive.
I have had this felt stocking in my head for several months, and I have to say I just love it when something in my head, actually turns out like I wanted it to! LOL
I created a Christmas stocking out of wool felt. I found this amazing woman who has amazing wool felt. It is the most beautiful, high quality wool felt you will ever see. The selection is incredible, any color you could ever imagine in 8 x12" sheets! Please take the time to hop on over to Felt On The Fly Blog and Felt On The Fly Etsy. Spellbinders die templates cut wool felt beautifully...just like butter baby!
Here's a quick video tutorial to show you how to create your own felt Christmas Stocking.
(Try to ignore the Snoopy bandaid, cutting tomato's can require a trip to the ER if you're not careful! lol)
Be sure to visit the Spellbinders Blog to see all the details, and leave a comment there for a chance to win ALL SIX EDGEABILITIES SETS!!!
Here are a few pictures showing you how I created that fabulous little box I put in my stocking.
I love the large cutting and embossing plates that come with Spellbinders Grand Calibur Machine. You can cut all the dies at once, then emboss all the dies at once.
The box will have embossed areas that make it really easy to see exactly where you will fold the box. The pictures above show you step by step how to put this box together. Use the die templates as a stencil and apply fluid chalk ink for added detail. Attach the die cuts to the sides of the box, and adhere the tag to the top.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am thankful for many things, one of them is for you, my blog readers. I always love to read your comments and am so glad you take the time to stop by!
