...Oct/Nov release day 3

ED - many thanks for asking about the construction of the door hanger, I'll be delighted to do a how-to once i get the release over!! It's very simple but 3 pics will save me thousands of words!!

Oooooh people! I'm putting the finishing touches to the secret blog page just right now!!! lol, I have so enjoyed this set, I really hope you all take it in the spirit in which it is meant!! ITCHING to let you all in...there will be an announcement on the password and secret blog either this evening or in the morning!!!!!!

Made this wee card using more images from the Sewing Box-Hugs set. I'm hoping to release tomorrow evening!!!! I am just an ole scaredy cat tho' and don't want to open the gates till my last box arrives, much stuff arrived today, and is getting packed as we chat...DH...a treasure...lol.

Absolutely in love with that wee birdie!! Thought I'd make a wee nest for it out of some flowers, leaves and the handy bendy bar shape also in the set. There's two sizes of flower, although only one size is used on this card.

It's a very simple card, stamped in black (Memento Tuxedo) and coloured in copics. Cut out and layered some bits. Made up the scene on a black panel and mounted that on a green card base, the sentiment is simply stamped in black. Would have done all sorts to it but for the fact that little dude is icky! Needed mums lap.


A super quick and easy thing to make as a door hanger, or tree decoration (I have quite a largish tree, wink) is this 3 panel hanger. I used the Vintage Labels No1 stamp set also due to release.

I used the three 'tag shoulders' first seen in the Vintage Labels No4. set, and again, included in this set Vintage Labels No 1. It was Michelle who had the bright idea of using a 'shoulder' twice on a tag and I shamelessly pinched the idea!! lol, so long as you all pop over and tell her what a brill idea it was I don't think she'll mind!! lol.

What's good about the tag shoulders is that they provide a lovely decorative finish with a prepositioned place to punch out a hole for cord/ribbon etc. It's a beautiful detail easily achieved.

Each of the panels I made were stamped twice with a particular tag shoulder, top and bottom. The sentiments from Very Vintage Christmas and Seasons of Love - Tags were stamped in the same red ink.

Some ribbon and a couple of buttons and that's it! My apologies for the poor photos, I seem to have inadvertently pressed the 'make white blur' button on the camera...


In the panel below you can see that I stamped a dotty frame from Vintage Labels No1 around the edge after stamping the tag shoulder twice.


The panel below shows the large broad tag shoulder from this set, my fave!
