If you know me, you know I love making tags. Why? I think it is because they can be quick projects – quicker than cards. When I saw that Moxie Fab World had a Gift Tag Challenge, I HAD to play along.

Hello and welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Friday Feature Blog Hop. You should have arrived from Sue’s lovely blog.

Today, the Belles are showcasing the Lil Belles set. There are quite a few Lil Belles sets, so check them all out below. Today I have decided to use A Beautiful Day stamp set.

For those of you who know me, patterned paper and I are not the best of friends. Well… I am pleased to say that several pieces of patterned paper were harmed in the making of this card 🙂

Now for a GIVEAWAY. If you would like to win a Lil Belle’s set (winner’s choice), comment on all of the DT’s blog and then head back to the ABS blog and add your name to the inlinkz. You have until Sunday 8pm (Australian EST) to enter.

Another card for the  Online Card Class – His and Hers. I actually made this earlier in the week, but wasn’t quite sure if I liked it…

This was inspired by uber talented Cristina Kowalczyk and her vellum creations on Day 2. I never did get around to making a female version as I ran out of time – but I was thinking almost identical to this but with hearts and using shades of pink.

I actually had this blue and teal vellum in my stash (it must be at least 10 years old!). Vellum is not the easiest of materials to work with – especially concealing the adhesive! I find scattering elements on a card quite difficult – there certainly is an art to it.

Stamps: Paper Smooches Sentiment sampler Stamp set

Ink: VersaFine – Onyx Black

Card: Neenah solar white cardstock, Hero Arts folded notecards – Azure

Other Supplies: Vellum – blue and teal (no idea of the brand), MFT Star stax dies, PTI Alphabet Dies, Cuttlebug, AnnaBelle Stamps metallic sprinkles, Glossy accents (to adhere sprinkles), foam dimensionals

I have some more cards to share for the Online Card Class – His and Hers.

I really loved Heather Nichols watercolour stamping on Day three, so I decided to give it a go. I didn’t end up making a Sympathy card for the female version, as I didn’t have an appropriate sentiment, but I managed to find a sympathy type sentiment for the male version.

I am also entering these into the The Wonder of Watercolor Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Stamps: PTI The Sweet Life Stamp set, Paper Smooches Reflections Stamp set, Hero Arts Live and Laugh Stamp set (sentiments)

Ink: Distress Markers – Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, VersaFine – Onyx Black

Card: Canson Watercolour paper – 300gsm, Hero Arts folded notecards – Iris and Pine

Other Supplies: Mister with water
