St Pat Day Tag - Coffee Frappe - HoneyBeeStamps TreatYoSelf Hero Arts InfinityNestingTag

Made tag for Barista friends at the StarBucks I frequent.

Think this is first time using the Honey Bee Stamps stamps/dies. Is first time using the Hero Arts Tag die.

Stamped drink stamp, colored & die cut. Stamped sentiment, die cut. Punched circle out of shamrock scrap paper and put it on front of drink container. Placed scrap piece of shamrock paper on tag, placed drink container on next and then placed sentiment. Added rainbow sticker. Added ribbon.

If you look closely you can see how I used scrap piece of shamrock pattern paper. First i stamped the sentiment on shamrock paper, die cut sentiment, punched a circle to put on front of drink container and then used the scrap piece of shamrock paper that sentiment was cut out of for background fitting the sentiment into the cutout area to right of drink container.

Supplies

cardstock/paper - green, white pattern - shamrocks

die: Hero Arts Infinity Nesting Tag

marker: Prismacolor

stamp/die - Honey Bee Stamps Treat Yo Self

Birthday Card - CTMH CelebrateEmbFold PartyTime

Used mostly CTMH items with CTMH Celebrate embossing folder as focal point.

What you cannot see here is that I saved cardstock from solid pink & pattern balloons by using a die to cut out the portion that the embossing takes up and can use that for a later project. Do any of you use your dies this way so you are not wasting wonderful cardstock or pattern paper? Come back on Thurs 3/11 to check out What's Happening on Thurs to see more about using a die in this manner so as to not waste cardstock or pattern paper.

Supplies

CTMH:

cardstock/paper - pink, white holographic

pattern - Party Time (balloons)

flowers: Recollections

#4 Art Journal Page Aloha Hibiscus - Hero Arts AlohaCoverPlate HibiscusFancyDie

Made the notebook some time ago and now making art journal pages inside the notebook.

Enjoyed trips to Hawaii: Maui with hubby & daughter & Oahu with hubby. In Maui we rented a car & drove the road to Hana and took a helicopter ride over Molakai & back. In Oahu we were there for hubby's niece that was getting married (was first beach wedding attended) and took a bus tour and got to tour a pineapple plantation. Both islands had wonderful looking Hibiscus of many colors.

Anyone else visited Hawaii?

Used Hero Arts Aloha Plate & Hibiscus Fancy Dies. Used some inks, watercoloring & stickles.
