I'm Back

Hey there blog friends; oh wow how nice it is to be back.  I've been away from my blog and crafting due to some health issues.

So lets get down to business and sharing a couple of my recent projects.  Hope you enjoy them.

I love Memory Box dies - they are so versatile and produce stunning results with very little effort.  The following cards were made from the new holiday release "Plush Poinsettia Corner" die.

Thanks for visiting, hope to see you soon. 

Wood Inlay Tags

Welcome blog friends:

I have to apologize for this very short post.  I just couldn't wait to share this very cool technique that I have been experimenting with. I stumbled on a tutorial (which I can't find right at the moment, but I will keep looking for it) whereby the tag was made using a piece of wood paper. Well I couldn't find any paper but did find very thin veneer.  Well it worked!  Shreek!  

A piece of very thin 1/32 birch wood veneer was die cut using a memory box die.  I carefully inked the die cut piece and then "inlayed" it back into the wood tag.  To keep the cut image from popping back out I covered the tag back with a piece of adhesive.  Distress inks were used to colour the die cut.  Please ignore the smudge that I got when stamping my sentiment.  I'll figure out a way to conceal that :) ha.

Ohhh I can't wait to try some more dies.  Here's another one.
