Sorry I'm so late blogging today - we've been house-hunting today.
I had a friend come to the house to do a little job yesterday but I knew they wouldn't let me pay them so I wanted to give them a gift and it had to be golf balls! So I got out one of my favourite Paper Smooch sets - My Guy to make an appropriate gift tag.
I love this set, it has so many useful "guy" elements. For this tag I used the golf cart, stamping it on the tag, but also on white card so I could cut it out and layer it up without trying to cut around the fiddly thin lines ;-) I added some paper cut with Mama Elephants Landscape Trio die and finished with a sentiment from the same stamp set. Then a little string was all that was needed to "wrap" the gift - keeping it very masculine.
Whilst I had my Paper Smooches out, I used another set to enter this week's Less is More Challenge to create a one layer card with leaves. This time I went for Leafy Greens but chose to just use the large maple leaf and went autumnal with pumpkin pie and raspberry jam inks from Hero Arts.
I just stamped each leaf on top of each other in the brown shade and then over-stamped with the red. I added a big bold sentiment from Mama Elephant's Splendid set once dry and dotted around some glitter and pearl dots to finish.
News from the Store:
That's all this week folks - catch you next weekend!
