Birdhouse

Recently, I participated in a Birdhouse Swap on Splitcoaststampers.  Below are the photos of the birdhouse I created and sent to my sister.

Thanks for stopping!

Holiday Tags

Over the last week I have been making holiday tags using different techniques and a variety of products.

All three were made using manilla shipping tags.

Snowman tag:
Three Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Stains
Sixxiz Snowman (outlined in The Twinery charcoal twine;  red felt scarf with Maraschino twine; small red buttons; Stampin' Up cardstock; stick arms frosted with Close To My Heart Glitz Bronze
Additional embellishments included brown and white snowflake ribbon and A|Muse pearls

Pine Sprig tag:
Penny Black Pine Sprig rubber stamp colored with Stampin' Up hunter green and black markers using The Twinery charcoal as the main stem of the sprig and again through the tag hole; sprigs were also lightly frosted with Picket Fence Stickles

Snowflake tag:
Embossed Penny Black Crystal Clear stamp with clear powder; spritzed heavily with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Frost; Stampin' Up felt light blue snowflake at top with button secured using The Twinery cappuccino along with several wraps of same in various directions in the middle of the tag
Additional embellishments included the snowman button, sentiment, and self-stick blue globe ball for center of snowflake.

Altered Swap Items

I completed a swap on SCS that included three different altered items:  an altered frame with glass; a frame to include altered art, and a wall hanging.  Below are the three I submitted:

If you are at all like me once you complete a project there are always things you wish you had done differently.  And only one of the three do I think that but I am not telling which one.
