Whisker Graphics Friends Tag Card with Stickers and Twine



For this "Friends" card  I am using lots of die cuts, great chipboard accent along with the amazing tags, twine and stickers from Whisker Graphics. Lots of amazing depth and dimension in layers, dies and matting.

Supply List:
Whisker Graphics: small tags, large tags, Little Petite Stickers, Divine Twine Petites
Chipboard: Blue Fern Studio Wanderlust 
Dies: Memory Box Modern Tile Background 99295,Tutti Musical Stave 339, Tutti word set Friends 234
Other: cardstock, ink


Using my Big Shot Express I have been having a great time cutting lots of dies. And cutting Whisker Graphics tags looks fabulous when matted with a different colour. I just wish I had bought me this a long time ago.... it really is worth it to be electric cut visa hand turning and making it hard work.....treat yourself or add it to your xmas wish list if you don't have an electric die cut machine.


By die cutting out on the tags you ar now able to mat it and get fabulous look with great details. 




Next I am foam popping up the chipboard piece for great depth and dimension.... and matted the bottom piece for pop of colour too.





Next I am die cutting sentiment and the tile background out of rusty cardstock.



With these pieces all cut I start the layers with some matted some not. I added the Friends sentiment to the smaller tag and matted the larger die cut tag. 


The tags are assembled and twine tied.


On the lower edge I decide it would be fun to have a pop of different colour and the great Whisker Graphic stickers are perfect.


To add a touch more black I am die cutting the musical accent.


With the full card in my head I start from the bottom and using Beacon 3-in-1 glue I assemble the card in layers.



I love the texture, colours and layers with the perfect chipboard accent.


It is looking great.


Next was to add the musical notes.


Showing you up close details shots for better viewing.

Off the Rails Scrapbooking March Challenge


At Off the Rails Scrapbooking this month we are sharing the amazing mood board below to inspire your projects ... hope you'll love it as much as I did and play along with us this month.





To start my page I always do the background, cut the paper accents I hope to use and lay out some photos I hope to use.


I pull and lay in some accents that will make the page come together.


The chipboard is inked white and the bead accent is added.


In this section there is some lace, flowers and a doily.



Fun puffy accents and little sticker alpha make up the titles and subtitles.



The photos are showcased on black, white and the colour gold.... it looks wonderful.
Thanks for stopping by... see you again soon.


Creative Embellishment Feb Challenge along with Sketches in Thyme Feb Sketch


Hi Bev here today with a page showcasing my youngest son's Wedding Day. With twist to use a rose for the challenge I knew this page would be soft, elegant and have some flowers for sure and what better theme than a wedding. I used lots of chipboards for this one. The floral chipboards Rose Set 2 have stickles added to the floral sections for glitter and sparkle.  The Vintage Flourish Set 3 are copic coloured. For the title I clustered some collection accents along with the amazing Feb 14 heart flair button.

Along with Creative Embellishment accents I am showcasing Blue Fern Studios Remnants Collection from The Rubber Buggy and I am using a Sketches in Thyme Sketch Challenge. (see below).




I worked on the background for this one first by adding the dark brown borders just to add some depth and dimension to the page.


I pulled a positioned possible chipboard for placement.


I then copic coloured the chipboards.


I die cut the lattice accent and laid out the page again.


Then a do some gluing from the bottom up.


For a wedding page I added the lace and a small cluster of accents.


The lattice is the base for more accents.



Close up views of the amazing accents.




Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again soon,
