Christmas Gift Tags

These are just a few Christmas tag cards that I made this morning.
They are very quick to make, about 10 minutes each.

Love, Peace & Joy Christmas card

A little bit of pink

Two quick and simple cards that could be used for any occasion.

Christmas card

I love using black ink, it really makes your stuff look distressed and old. Punch lots of holes all around the pattern paper.

For Old Time Sake Card

On this card I have torn an acrylic clock in half and then used a lighter around the edges of the clock which has caused it to warp. I applied the same technique to the piece of acetate undre the flower and clock, the acetate was first stamped using acrylic paint and a decorative stamp. The edges of the clock were distressed with a pair of scissors and then inked. the oversized flower was inked and stamped with a postage stamp
Hope you enjoy making this card. It also looks fabulous in deep red.

Adore You Card

Try using many different types of textures and techniques on one card. Stamp, ink, paint and sew on your card. Use flowers, brads, acrylic and rope to give your card depth and a unique look. I had so much fun making this card.

Butterfly Card

Use a scalloped edge, some lace a butterfly, flowers and some reign stones to make a beautiful card.

Time Card

Glue some micro beads onto flowers and tags and don't be afraid to ink your flowers.
Put some inked rope though your tags to add some texture to your project.
Try tearing, inking and adding some bling to your work. Some people say LESS is MORE.... Personally I love my work to be distressed and full. I hate leaving open spaces.

Embossed Heart Card

I've had such fun making this little embossed heart tag. It is so quick and easy to make. I just love the fact that you can use up all your scrap paper and ribbon and then still end up with a lovely card that will make any gift a little more special.
Hope you have as much fun making these as I did

Green & Red embossed card

I've used the cuttlebug embossing machine to create this card.

After you have embossed the card use distressing ink to highlight the embossing. You can also ink you flowers and ribbon to give it more detail.

acetate card

This is a one of the acetate cards that Ive designed. here are the steps.

Cut a piece of acetate (transparency) 15cm x 21cm, fold in half to create the base of the card.
Cut out 2 pieces of card stock 11cm x 7cm and ink them.
Using double sided tape stick 1 piece of card stock on the top of the card (in the middle) and the other piece of card stock on the inside of the card (be sure to line the bottom card stock up with the top card stock).
Now decorate the top of the card by first sicking down a piece of lace on the top.
Place a large flower on the left and some smaller flowers along the bottom. add a butterfly and some gemstones to finish it off. hope you enjoy.

18th birthday wish card.

This is a birthday card I created for Kye's girlfriend. here are the steps.

Cut a card 15cm x 30cm out of red card stock, fold in half. Ink with black.
Cut out a piece of black card stock 14cm x 14cm.
Cut out a piece of red pattern paper 13cm x 13cm and distress the corners by punching loads of holes with your hand held punch - it will give it a moth eaten look. Ink with black
Cut out an 18 out of black card stock and use a clear liner around the edges, sick on bottom right of card.
Paste a butterfly onto a black medium size flower. Paste the black flower onto a large red flower and stick onto top right of card.
Use some ruby red gemstones to make some doodles on the card to finish it off. hope you had fun.

TIME CARD

Here are the steps to making this card.

Step 1
Cut a piece of brown cardsock to make a 15cm x 11cm card & ink with black ink.

Step 2
Cut out a lighter brown piece of cardstock 14cm x 10cm, ink with black ink.

Step 3
Cut a piece of acetate 13cm x 9cm and burn the edges using a heat gun or lighter (just be careful, this takes some practice). Randomly stamp some flower on it using a solvent ink. when the ink is dry, attach a large flower. stamp a postage stamp on it and add a button to the centre of the flower. Cut out a medium size flower from cardstock, use a small flower in the centre and place acetate clock on top. attach this to the burnt piece of acetate.

Step 4
Attach the burnt acetate to the light brown cardsock using brads in the corners. Wrap a piece of ribbon around the right side of the acetate.

Step 5
Using double sided tape stick the light brown cardstock onto the card.

Acetate Card

This is an acetate card that i have created.
I will give you all the steps on how to create this fun project.

Step 1
Cut out two flowers the first 1 from a good quality cardstock and the second out of acetate. (if you want a template just email me on craftucrazy@yahoo.com and I'll send you one).

Step 2
Ink the cardstock flower quite heavily, place acetate flower on top and attach with a brad.

Step 3
Cut out different size flowers in coordinating colours, ink and distress them. Stick flowers down with some double sided tape on the acetate. use a button in the centre of the biggest flower. Cut out a butterfly and run through an embossing machine (I use the cuttlebug), place butterfly in the middle of the flowers.

Step 4
On the cardstock flower place a round tag for writing your message on.
Use some gems and brads to decorate.
