Enjoy these tags I taught in Woodstock Il the other day. I tried to capture that patriotic feeling with Tim Holts inks, paints, stencils, glitter, stamps, and die cuts. I also added some die cuts from Chery Lane and Sizzix. Everyone of my students enjoyed everything except the tedious painted stars. The "lady liberty" tag background is done in distress paints on a non-stick craft mat, with water added. I'm not sure I quite captured the copper elements in this photo, but they are really cool. The USA tag has a star stenciled background and features glittered stars on top of layers of a doily and cardstock. "Old Glory" was a little complicated as we painted an embossed piece of plastic, which we layered over a tag that we inked and perfect pearled. I just love when my fingers get inky!
Kits, kits, and more kits! I have been kitting up projects for upcoming classes these past two weeks. Using Graphic 45 "By the Sea" papers, I created two classes for you! Above is the card class, featuring these four cards in which we layer paper and add some special embellishments, and some techniques to make them special! Check out my calendar for where you can catch this class. I'll be at Stamp, Scrap n' More in Mundelein IL on June 28th, and Memories and Beyond on July 8th. Check these stores out in person, on the web, or on Facebook. I can't tell enough how important it is to support these small businesses. They are disappearing on us and if we don't there will be no where to learn, touch or feel, other than your computer. There is nothing like touching and feeling when it comes to crafting supplies. Quality is hard to see on a computer, and if you are like most of my students, it is easier to learn when someone shows you how!

Next time I'll show you the Mini Album I created using these lovely papers from Graphic 45!
Get Inspired!
