Mason Jar Tag Card

Happy Friday all! Hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead. It  looks like our horrible rainy weather is going to calm into a sort of bright weekend here in Essex. Hope my family back in the States (New Jersey) are dug out of the snow they've been getting. Now onto my new card:


The card was based on a sketch for a challenge over as The Paper Players and I'm just making it in under the wire...lol. Here is a photo of the tag tucked inside the pocket:


Here is a list of my supplies:  The papers, mason jar tag, and jar topper were from one of my new 12" x 12" paper stacks called Dear Lizzy Neopolitan by American Crafts; Personal Impressions Everyday Words stamps, Distress Ink in Tattered Rose, Ribbon from Ribbon Oasis; Black Papermania ink; Heart buttons from my stash.

I love love love the papers in this stack. The mason jars are so cute. I fussy cut out the mason jar tag from a whole sheet of them then mounted it on the tan dotted paper from the set and fussy cut around that as well.

Entered in the following challenges:

I'm Alive & A Box Card

Yep I'm still around. I took a long break from blogging. I didn't intend to be away so long but life has a habit of getting in the way but it's a new year and I'm back to crafting. I hope start entering challenges again and hope today's is just the start.

Today I made a box card. Here it is:


I just LOVE the dimensional effect of this card. It folds flat too! I followed a YouTube tutorial for this box card: Box Card to Fit in a C6 Envelope. I received my new copy of Simply Cards and Papercrafts magazine yesterday and as a free gift inside was a 6" x 6" paper pad and set of clear stamps in the new Prima Fairy Belle range. Goodness it was so gorgeous I went on a seach for something to make with it.

I encourage you to try out the box card tutorial and I'd love to see your results so leave me a comment and show me your stuff.
