I'll Be There

Hi there! It's Taylor here today, with a very special card to share.  This is my sample for my Hope You Can Cling To challenge over at Splitcoaststampers today!  My challenge is to FIGHT LIKE A GIRL - create a card or project with girlie embellishments (including, but not limited to, pearls, lace, bling, ribbons, flowers, glitter, or whatever you can think of!).

I used a chipboard tag (Tag #02) from Creative Cuts and More as the starting point for my card.  The card base is 5 3/4" square, so you can se how big the chipboard tag is!  I painted it with white acrylic paint, and then brushed some pink paint on top of that.  I stamped the large Cling Jumbo Dahlia flower on the left part of the tag, and then stamped the sentiment towards the right side.  Using a glue pen (Martha Stewart) I added glitter where I wanted it on the sentiment.  Then I sprinkled Shabby Pink embossing enamel straight onto the tag, and heated it from underneath to melt it in chunky splotches.

I stamped the Dahlia again in the top right corner of my teal card stock, and used Clear EP to emboss it. I added the tag to the card using dimensionals, and a bit of bling in the corner.  My fab sheer pink ribbon has sparkly bits on the edges, and the lace adds a bit of contrast.

Supplies:
Stamps: Cling Jumbo Dahlia, I'll Be There (Stampendous)
Card Stock: Tawny Medium (Bazzill), Light Terrific Teal (Color Mates); Chipboard Tag (Creative Cuts and More)

New York State of Mind - A Mini-Album

Hi everyone!

Becky here today & I have a great little album that my sister made (Kim L.) out of the Tag Album (she ordered several loose pages in Heavy Chipboard & Acetate) dies from Creative Cuts & More!
She was lucky enough to go to New York for her 20th Anniversary this year & this is just a tiny taste of the pictures she took there! (She will have to do many more mini's to showcase her fabulous trip!!) So, here we go...

The acetate cover features a reproduction of a vintage postcard along with a FABULOUS Statue of Liberty die from CC&M (up on the site soon!)!

On the back of the acetate cover, Page 2 has a lovely Apple cut in red velvet from CC&M!

Page 3, the camera actually lifts up (too hard to photograph here) to reveal their itinerary & some pictures, a map & guide book write-up of Times Square all layered on a heavy chipboard tag & adhered to the back of an A7 Apple Window card!! (see the next pict!)

See, here's the A7 Card from the front. It's connected only from one end so that it opens like a card, but also flips up with the rest of the album. Inside the card looks like this:

Here's another acetate page showcasing the famous Broadway St. with a Comedy Mask die from CC&M (up on the site soon!). Here's the flip side:

You can see another Velvet Apple under the Broadway tickets.

Finally, what's a visit to NY without seeing the Statue of Liberty?!! Here she attached 2 postcards showing the building of the statue with a brad to a heavy chipboard tag so that the cards swing up to show...

A picture she took of the statue popped in front of part of a Sky Scraper die (the whole die is much longer & up on the site soon!).

That's it for us today!

Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget to stop by the Creative Cuts & More store for all your summer vacation die & album needs!!

Tag Mini Album

Creative Cuts & More has one of my favorite shaped mini albums, the tag shape. This is the Tag Mini Album Set (5"x7"). I also used the Large #02 Tag and the Small #02 Tag in the colors Rosey and Thunder. I used papers, ribbons and chipboard mostly from Cosmo Cricket Earth Love line. Some of the chipboard and ribbon are from other Cosmo Cricket lines.

Each page has tags that you can pull out. I haven't decided what I want to fill this mini album with yet. It would make a great anniversary or birthday album as you could put a picture on the page and journal a memory on the tag. I thought about filling it with pictures of family as I think Peyton would really enjoy looking at this mini with movement!

Thanks for stopping by!
