I have several projects using this week's Make it Monday #187 technique of partial die cutting. All of my projects involve tags, so I am also linking up at Addicted to CAS #51: Tags.
I used a bookmark die as a tag in my first card, and used the In the Meadow snow drifts as my partial die cuts. I made a snowy sky on my tag by clear embossing some little snowflakes and then sponging and blending various Distress Inks. Do you see what is on my card base? Yes!! I finally was brave enough to crack open my embossing paste and use it on the SSS Snowdrift stencil. I don't know why I was so afraid of this stuff. It is so easy to use and makes such a fun texture. I think you'll be seeing a lot more embossing paste around here in the future.
I used the same partial die cutting technique o the In the Meadow snowdrifts to make a few more tags.
I am experimenting with staging my photos a little bit. What do you think? If you have any advice, I'm all ears.
Here is my last project using the partial die cut technique, this time with the One Liner Happy die.
Thanks for Visiting
Oh.My. Goodness! I just love all your tags and cards! I will definitely be Casing you for tag inspiration!! In the Meadows is perfect for these tags :)
ReplyDeleteJoyce...if these tags don't make you think of Christmas I am not sure what will. Each one is it's own little masterpiece and just as sweet as they come. Your card is just as festive, love that tag.
ReplyDeleteGreat tags Joyce - I don't know why, but tags stress me out for some reason! You've given me some amazing inspiration here!
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful Joyce! Love the birthday partial cut, and your photo shoots are great!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous christmas tags Joyce, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI ran out of time to try this MIM technique, but you've done a wonderful job Joyce!! My fave is the tag with the little deer, such a pretty snowy sky!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Christmas tags, Joyce. Love all the dies you used for the lovely scenes you created!
ReplyDeleteYou've really done an amazing job on the partial die cutting technique, Joyce! Your tags are all so charming and fun! I can't even choose a fave, b/c they're all so cute!
ReplyDeleteI've yet to try that MIM tutorial and you've certainly reminded me that I need to get on that! I love them all, Joyce, especially that very first one! I also love the design and texture on your gorgeous HB tag card!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove your embossing paste card, Joyce, with the bookmark die used to place your winter scene. I attempted to buy EP at Michael's but the help there was worthless, and I couldn't find any. What did you use to spread it over your stencil? Your gift tags are adorable. Oh, and your staging for photos is great in my eyes, but I'm certainly no expert. I'm lucky to get a photo period. : )
ReplyDeleteWow, Joyce ... just the most amazing cards and sweet tags ... I'm so taken with the first one with the stencilled snow, it's gorgeous ... looking forward to seeing more EP! There I was thinking to myself how cool your staged photo's were, and wondering why I hadn't spotted it on previous posts ... and then you answered me! So, in response to your question ... very cool! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo I popped over to comment on your great bookmake use for a tag, and saw all the other tags you entered. I thought - wow how did she get those all seperate THEN it dawned on me how you did! You smart girl I am so going to use THAT in the future :) Thanks for joining in with ATCAS!
