It’s starting to feel a little bit like Christmas on my blog today, with these fun tags using some Jane’s Doodles stamps. Christmas will be here before we know it, so I am getting in nice and early! These were really quick and easy to make – I think I may need to make some more experimenting with other colours.

It’s a little hard to tell, but the scarves are sparkling with some clear Wink of Stella. I love that pen!

Hello! Today it is the Jane’s Doodles release blog hop. Yay!  Two new sets have been released into the store and they are sooooo cute! Check them out.

Cats

Dogs

If you follow my blog, you know I love cats – so I just had to colour this cute kitty like my cat Mack. I coloured him with Copics and added some detail with Prismacolor pencils.

And I made a really quick tag using the Dogs set. Who doesn’t love a dachshund?

Today I am sharing a tag I have made using some Penny Black products from the Bring on the Happy release. This tag has some great texture as I used the Penny Black Hypnotic stencil with some embossing paste (that I coloured with Peacock Feather’s Distress Ink).

I also used the Penny Black Hello Creative word die (I trimmed the long trail off the end of the word). The little butterfly is from the Penny Black Flight of Fancy butterfly die set.

Penny Black products used:
– Hello Creative Die 51-104
– Flights of Fancy Creative Die 51-132
– Tagged Creative Die 51-007
– Hypnotic Stencil 25-015

Make sure you head over to the Simplicity at its Best blog for more CAS inspiration.

I am feeling somewhat under the weather at the moment, so not much creativity has been happening of late – just a lot of coughing and sniffling. But a couple of weeks ago I did manage to create my very first shaker project – a tag! I have been watching and admiring this trend for probably over a year now – and not being one to jump into things too quickly, I decided it was FINALLY time to give it a try. After all the videos I’ve watch on shaker construction, one would think I would be able do it first time round, but it still took me 3 goes to get it right. But I do think it is a lot of fun! My daughter gave it the nod of approval and was very happy to claim my reject attempts.

And I just realised that I never posted my last Jane’s Doodles tag using the adorable Seamus stamp set. This guy makes me smile. I think the guy in the top left certainly does have crazy eyes as Jane mentioned in the post 😉 Crazy in love maybe?

Thanks for visiting. I do appreciate it,

It was my turn on the Jane’s Doodles blog a couple of days ago where I shared this cute dinosaur card. This little guy is from the Dino-mite stamp set. Coloured with Copics and I hand drew the speech bubble.

Happy New Year! I’m popping in to share a Christmas tag that I made about a month ago and I have only got around to photographing it today! Better late than never. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas.

Another project that I have managed to complete over Christmas was to make some Scrabble tile ornaments. I originally saw the idea on Ardyth’s blog over a year ago which lead me to here. I am a huge Scrabble fan so this idea really appealed to me. During the year at a local market, I came across an old Scrabble set for $5 with the intention of making them. It wasn’t until last week, with the help of my handy-man Dad (who was staying with us for Christmas), they turned into a reality. I love how they turned out. I would have made more but I ran out of the tile holders.

I’ll definitely be on the lookout for another Scrabble set as I would love to make some more.
