It’s an Easter theme for the team this week and I have made a double tag using a couple of digi images, COOL DUDE & HAPPY WOOF-DAY DOG . 

So I had this idea that would not go away and I have to try to make it whether it ended well or not. Inside my head is a very messy place you know.  So my idea was to dress my poor COOL DUDE as a happy, hoppy Easter bunny using the COTTONTAIL BUNNY RABBIT set.  Have to say that he doesn’t look all that happy about it; apparently his doggie is struggling with it too.

Ingredients:

Polkadoodles Goodies:

Digi Images: COOL DUDE – HAPPY WOOF-DAY DOG

Colouring Paper: ULTIMATE GRAPHIC

Sentiment: WINNIE SUGAR SPRINKLES & LIL MISS SUGARPOPS

Papers: GREAT OUTDOORS PAPER PACK

Dies: COTTONTAIL BUNNY RABBIT

Stamps: 24 CARROT FRIEND

Stencils: MAGICAL GRASSES

Other Stuff:

Colouring: Copics

Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Nesting Tags’ – Tonic ‘Scalloped Oval’

The Rest: Kraft Card - Hessian Ribbon – String – Sakura Stardust Pens – Doodling

LDRS Creative –Mitten Tags!

Hello everyone! Hope everything is OK with you!

I am posting on the LDRS CREATIVE INSPIRATION BLOG today and it's a Christmas Countdown!!  It’s nearly here!! Eeek! Not that I’m excited you understand.

This time I have some little tags to show you, made with the new release EYELET LACE RECTANGLE DIE SET.

It has a lovely decorative edge and I wanted to enhance that by adding some paper from the ARCTIC SNOWFALL 6 x 6 PAPER PAD.

I did this by using the side of the larger frame die to cut along the edge of one of the gorgeous papers.  After trimming it fits the border of the tag very nicely and meant that I did not have to subject anyone to my appalling fussy cutting!!

I love the little mittens and snowflakes from the HOT CHOCOLATE stamp set and I used my stamping platform to make sure the images were in the same place on all three. Well more or less.

I coloured everything with glitter gel pens and added glitter drops, ribbon and twine.

Ingredients:

LDRS PRODUCTS

Paper: ARCTIC SNOWFALL 6 x 6 PAPER PAD

Stamps: HOT CHOCOLATE

Ink: RAVEN HYBRID

Dies: EYELET LACE RECTANGLE DIE SET

THE REST  

Colouring: Sakura Stardust Pens

Others: Tonic Nuvo Glitter Drops – Ribbon – Twine

So check out the LDRS Creative blog HERE where you can see all the incredible makes from the amazing DT and go to the store HERE to get all your gorgeous goodies.  We also have a YouTube channel full of education and inspiration and visit our Facebook page where we would love to see all YOUR LDRS creations!

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….” are you singing along? Well that’s the theme tune for the DT this week and I have decorated a tag with this fabulous vintage Santa.

I went a little mixed media on this one and I think it suits the image. I already had a piece of card that I had used to ‘clean off’ my stencils from previous projects (I have a growing number of these in my stash) and luckily the colours were just what I wanted. 

Isn’t he awesome and if you prefer he is also available in a clear stamp set HERE. 

Ingredients:

Digi Image (and small piece of paper): PICKNIX 3 – NORDIC WINTER

Colouring: Copics

Colouring Paper: ULTIMATE GRAPHIC

Polkadoodles Dies: POINSETTIA LACE - HOLLY & SPRUCE

Polkadoodles Stamps: SNOWFLAKE GARDEN SET

Polkadoodles Stencils: FEATHERS & WINGS (which you can’t see anymore but it is there trust me)

Other Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Nesting Tags’
