Upcycled Spellbinders Tags

Hello Blog Friends, I have been doing a little bit of recycling.  I created these tags some time ago for a Spellbinders Tutorial and decided they would be great on cards....as you can see in these photos.  I created 4 tags but am just showing two cards.

The card base is cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine A2 Valiant Honor   Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator and the tag base is the Labels Twenty-Five Spellbinders Nestabilities®.

The sentiment is by from SRM Stickers.  Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - 3D Foam Squares and E-Z Runner have been used on these cards.

The second card has been created using the A2 Modern Stationary Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator as the base - it always makes a great card, this is definitely one of my 'go to' Dies.  I have added some beautiful vintage lace and Want2Scrap pearls.

 

These cards are for the following challenges:

 Amusing - BLING 

Crafting At the Weekend - Anything Goes (always) 

Crafty Calendar - Anything Goes

 Di's Digis Designs - Lace and Pearls

Crafty Friends Challenge #4 - Anything But a Card

I am back with my project for the Crafty Friends Challenge - it is Heather's turn to host and she has challenged us to create Anything But a Card - this challenge makes me smile as I never considered myself an 'off the page' person, but them someone called it 'Altered Art' and I was there instantly, 'hit the ground with my feet running' and not looked back! LOL!

This week I have created a Nostalgic Tag - it was very quick and easy to create and just perfect for the gorgeous hanger my kids got me for Mother's Day, where I hang my divine vintage lace.....(just quietly - I know it was my DH who brought on the kids behalf - love it that he knows me so well and got the perfect gift - definitely keeping him!)

The image the tag is based on is from Crafty Secrets (love them), as it the little ticket.

Some thick Ricrac is added down the side and the gorgeous pearl trim is from the Craft Queen, I savour each little bit of it!

The wings are from Spellbinders Paper Arts, one of NinaB Designs Licensed Dies - they are cut with vellum and has 3D Kindy Glitz added, I was not sure how this would work out but an very happy with the results.  A mulberry rose has been added and then some of the divine bling from Want2Scrap, this is also designed by NinaB Designs - Nina is everywhere - don't you love that!

You can see where the tag has found a home....right next to my desk!

This tag is for the following challenges:

Whimsy Inspiration - anything goes

Waste Not Wednesday - always "use your forgotten stuff" - Ricrac

Truly Scrumptious - anything goes

Tandastamps - Something new  - Crafty Secrets image

Sisterhood of Crafters - May flowers

Tag You're It

I have been making a few quick cards over the past weeks and they don't get much quicker than this

The typewriter is on a tag already (see, I did say easy) and I added the tag to some DP after distressing around the edges

Adding a sentiment from the Sent With Love set illustrated by NinaB Designs for The Crafts Meow.

I cut the word TAG from the topper on the packet of tags (there are ten in a pack) and added it along with a recycled button

Finishing off with some vintage lace and black gems.  I am happy that even with lace the cards keep it's masculine feel

This card is for the following challenges:

Paper Take Weekly -Anything Goes

Crafty Cardmakers - Monochrome

Make it Monday - always Anything Goes

LOC Happy Christmas

It is Christmas Day here here in the Southern Hemisphere and I am just popping by quickly to wish you a blessed Christmas

while I am here I wanted to share this tag with you

I have fallen in love with this adorable Bee from the Layers of Color Honeysweet clear art stamp set

The Love Chapter clear art stamp set has been stamped along the edge and the Spellbinders Floral Doily Accent is added along the border.

The tag is from Stampin' Up and the Bee charm is from my stash.

A sentiment from the Love Chapter clear art stamp set and some fringing completes this tag...what do you think?!?

SSIC LOC Because of You

Stampin Sisters in Christ always comes around so quickly and that is a good thing!  I always love to read the inspiration that is shared from the Word of God.  This weeks devotional is from Rebekka who has chosen the scripture:

 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him

Job 13:15

Rebekka has challenged us to make a card of praise,using music, stamp, or design paper or just the word praise

For this challenge I have created a tag usinga sentiment from the new Layers of Color Sweet Silhouettes clear art stamp.

I have used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur to cut out the sentiment using the Labels Eighteen Nestibilitie, using the Die as a mask.

The flower has been created using some Stampin' Up DP (this is from my scraps pile) and circle punches, the leaves from the Spellbinders Foliage Die

The divine padlock is the Spellbinders Timeless Heritage Die along with the Floral Doily Accents Border and the music is from and old Hymnal sheet, the DP is recycled backing from a Prima Flower packet - too good to waste!

This card is for the following challenges:

Challenge Up Your Life - Music

Our Craft Lounge - thankful

 Aud Sentiments Challenge - Thank you OR Thanksgiving 

Do You Stack Up? - Inspiration Picture* Splash of Blue

Wet! Wet! Wet!

I have another Tag to show you - my Next Workshop is Tags! Tags! Tags! we will be making 6 Tags - all different - a little bit vintage a touch of grunge and definitely some whimsy....

One of the ladies I have come to know through my Classes at my local LSS and Workshops, Anne has these wonderful Tim Holtz Embossing Folders - and graciously lent them to me and I am making the most of them.....can you blame me!?

I love this Umbrella Man - so very Charlie Chaplin-ish and who doesn't love him!

I love the way the technique we are using on this tag has worked out with the colours - it is the perfect background for the CTMH sentiment - they just seemed to go hand on hand for this tag!  The end result is simple but that is part of the appeal of it for me - amazing I know when you consider I am all about layering and details!  LOL!
