Just to Say Thanks tag - Crafter's Companion

I love the way this tag came out, but the photo just doesn't do it justice.  I created the background using Spectrum Aqua pens, then ran it though a Textures embossing folder.  After that I took a black ink pad and rubbed it all over the raised portion of the embossed paper.  The image from Art Kure is actually stamped twice, colored with the Spectrum Aqua pens twice, then fussy cut out.  I then layered one set on top of the other set after slightly tolling the edges of the top image.  It's very dimensional, but did photograph that way.  I used a sentiment stamp from a Bebunni set to say just what I needed it to say.  Some ribbon, feathers, butterflies and sequins finish it off.

Here are the Crafter's Companion supplies I used:

Stamps - Bebunni Bloom & Grow 
Art Kure - Pansies
Textures embossing folder - Hessian
Spectrum Aqua Pens - wild flower, red violet, gold, bud green, moss, lime
Spectrum Sparkle pen - crystal clear

Easter Decoration - Crafter's Companion

Back today to share a little decoration I made for Easter Sunday dinner.  I love rosettes, and have used them on many projects like door reefs and picture frames, but this was the first time I created a collage of them for a table decoration.  I think it turned out fabulous.

I put together a simple tutorial for this project that can be found on the Crafter's Companion blog.  Check it out if you are interested in creating one for any occasion.

I used the adorable Bebunni stamps from Crafter's Companion and colored them up with my Spectrum Noir pens.  

Sending you warm Easter holiday thoughts and hugs,
Jodi

Just for You - Crafter's Companion

It's the last day of the year and I figured I better toss in one more project post before we off to a night of family games and celebration.  I wish for each of you a wonderful and happy new year ahead.

I love the way this one turned out... I used a piece of acetate to make the card base, then created the inside backdrop with some patterned papers, a ribbon and the adorable Crafter's Companion image from BeBunni called Sweet Friend colored up with my Spectrum Noir pens.  I fussy cut him out, then added him to the background underneath the acetate front.  To add some dimension, I die cut the sentiment from some matching patterned paper using the Die'Sire Edge'able Only Word die "Just For You".  (I love these Edge'ables - they make such a statement on the card.)  I adhered the sentiment to the front of the acetate, lining things up so that it doesn't cover up anything underneath.  Some added pears here and there, and some Distress Ink on the edges and voila!  Such a sweet little card.

The Crafter's Companion products I used are:

Spectrum Noir Pens - blender, FS3 FS6 PP3, DG4, CG1, CG2, CR10, PP5, EB2, EB1, BG1, BG2, EB5, PP1, GB8, DG2
