All Wrapped Up

Hello,
So are you ready? As only six more sleeps till our gifts are given, New and old  happy memories are shared and made. Or are you like me still wrapping and making gifts tags. So today I just wanted to share with you the tags I have made to go with my gift wrapping paper. Just a little effort  and your gifts will look fab.

I needed tags to go on my gifts, didn't have any to match my paper so made these little gems.

I used lost and found paper, this was from my scraps box, Cut the tag shape free hand. Added some silver stickles and did a scroll pattern. Added the glitter glass to edges to give the frosty ice appearance to edges. Added the spellbinders shapeabilities Fleur de lis pendant to top of tag this was folded in half then secured with eyelet.

Then I cut out Tim holtz bird from the caged bird die cutter. Cut him out in card, took a page from my old falling apart dictionary and cut the bird out again, glued this to card. Used my embossing pen to add ink to places i wanted the embossing powers to stick too then added gold embossing powder and heat set. Did the wings the same way but after heat setting the gold embossing powder, went over again with embossing ink pen and added black embossing powder and heat set again. This gave the two tones of colour on wings. Added few feathers.

So here's the finished look. Added rustic twine and little bell. Tied bow around gift and added the tag.

Caz has asked me  to share with you a few of creations.

I hope to be able to share some of my makes with you once a month.

So keep cheeking back every now and then to see whats new.

I hope to inspired you to make your own gift tags to match you gift wrap.

Hello Lovely TPL readers! Hope you are all well - it's a Bank Holiday weekend again, so even if the sun does not shine, Ive got an extra day I can spend crafting! How are you spending yours?

Thought I would share the sample for next week's class - Using Distress Inks as a colouring medium for stamps. We will be playing with Distress Stains too! I had so much fun last time with the lovely ladies, I can't wait!

The seam binding has been altered with Distress Inks - more about that at the class! The images used are of course, Molly Blooms. They are really lovely, and little duck with his welly boots? Just too cute!! The papers are My Minds Eye Hattie. We will be using some really delicious new My Minds Eye papers on Sunday - Lost and Found. Just the thought of them is making me smile!

If you like Molly Bloom Stamps, remember our competition to win a fabulous day at the September Molly Blooms workshop! All you have to do is create a card with a Molly Bloom stamp on it, coloured with Copics and send it to us at The Paperlane! Address details are on the blog! Remember, we are not far away from the A1 - so all are welcome to enter! Entries close on June 11th - so get your skates on! Got to be in it to win it!

Sadly, our Blog Candy has not been claimed yet! So as it has been 2 weeks since the Candy closed, and we hate to see good stash go unloved! If the prize remains unclaimed by 8pm on Monday, 30th May we will redraw the prize from the original comments.

Hi Everyone,
not been able to post for a few days (sorry Maureen!) Casper (thats my computer) has been ill. Not a virus but a naughty little program attached to his browser. hes been to hospital, had a little brain surgery as is all better now!
Sarah on the other hand, has a cracking black eye! In Copic terms; started at R37, then R05, turning to Y28 with BV29 and w5 and 7 thrown in for good measure. Shes fine tho now, tumbled down the garden path, wouldnt let me post a photo tho!!

The delivery man has been busy.
We have some amazing My Minds (black) Eye, Lost and Found. I really like these, so sparkley!

Paperbag Card Workshop at The Paperlane

Hello Everyone! Just a quick post to show everyone the lovely work done by the ladies at today's class. Thanks so much to Jill, Alison, Dani and Sue for a lovely day! I cannot believe that 6 hours flew by so fast! There are lots of photos in this post, but we had to share everyone's efforts.

Here they are, hard at work! I was really worried as they kept going quiet! So, here are the lovely cards that they produced. Fabulous work ladies!

This is Jill's card. Jill used Molly Bloom stamps and My Minds Eye 'Happy Go Lucky' - Lime Twist Papers.

 This is Sue's card. Like Jill, Sue used MME Lime Twist - Happy Go Lucky papers, but she teamed the papers with Gorjuss Girl stamps, and some lovely handmade paper that we found in the scraps box.

This is Dani's card. Danni used the 'Mabel' Stella and Rose MME papers in lovely oranges and greens. These go so well with the Tatty Button stamps.

And last, but by no means least is Alison's card. Alison has used the MME Lime Twist 'Happy Go Lucky' papers, and has used Magnolia stamps.

Aren't they all fabulous?

I really enjoyed spending the day with you ladies! Look forward to seeing you all again soon! Kx
