KinderStampo's January Tag Swap | Wishing You a Peachy Birthday!

Jess at KinderStampo.com has a monthly Tag Swap Challenge and beginning in December, each themed challenge has a guest swapper from a particular company. This months challenge guest swapper is the Peachy Queen, Kathy.
For my birthday inspired tag, I used Outlines Rubberstamp Co. Package stamp, Basic Grey 6×6 paper stack, Bazzill Basics and Stampin' Up cardstock. After stamping the image onto Basic Grey papers, I used quickie glue and Pearl Ex to add some silver sparkle to the packages. I created real ribbons and beaded wires for the package trim. I built up the packages with foam tape to add dimension to them.
The built up packages were placed on a lime green Bazzill cardstock that had been embossed with a provocraft emboss folder and smeared with Pink Pirouette Ink. The pink cardstock was punched on the side with a Martha Steward Deep Punch to create the scalloped lattice. The tag was layered and topped with a SU tab punch and pink brads. One last element was the Buttons Galore Buttons stacked and connected with wire and beads and glued onto the tag with Beacon's all-purpose craft glue. Thank you for looking! I hope you enjoy!

Blinged-Out Birthday!

It's one of my bosses birthday today and she is a very sparkly type of girl! I created this Blinged-Out Birthday card for her using ultrafine glitters, Basic Grey Bling and an amazing stamp from Outlines Rubber Stamp Co.

I love Outlines Rubber Stamp Co. stamps because of their similarity to Zentangle designs. That is what attracted me to them in the first place! This stamp has SO many possibilities, but I thought for my dazzling friend it would look best in GLITTER!!!

To get the amazing detail with the ultrafine Martha Stewart glitters I used the Sakura Quickie Glue Pen [available through http://www.cutnpastememories.com/]. It allows ink-pen precision when placing glue.

I layered Die Cuts with a View Birthday Mat Stack paper with Pink Stampin' Up Cardstock and Bazzill Craft. I stamped the image with Marvey Black ink and quickly dusted it with clear detail embossing powder from Ranger. After heat setting the embossing powder I began glittering with my Quickie Pen.

For final touches, I used Basic Grey Bling, created a little acryllic tag with a Tim Holtz Fragments Charm and the DCWV paper. Simply use Crystal Lacquer to adhere the Fragment to the paper and the Queen & Co. Crown charm to the Fragment. I added a wired Ofray purple bow to the top left corner with a 3D Glue Dot from Zots! All adhesives available through CutNPaste Memories.

I hope you enjoy my Blinged-Out Birthday Card! I know my friend will! :)
