Artsy Mama Valentine Swap sneak peek

This is a sneak peek at my heart for the Artsy
Mama swap , Can't give it all away !! I am
all about the pink and red, and embellishments
are my faves . Love to dye the shipping tags from
Staples . When they are finished , they do not look
like those plain old tags . I like using them because
they are so sturdy . Just gives a different look
than cutting out of cardstock and they are much sturdier .
Hope my swap partner will like hers . She lives in California .



as you can see sparkle and glitter are my faves

T he tag dyeing goes quickly but need I mention gloves ,

my nails are such a pleasing pink -- now to get this

pink off my hands . That is another challenge .

Used Adirondack Ink Spray by Tim Holtz ;

Check out his blog -- especially the 12 tags of C hristmas

very nice .

This is another version of Teresa Mc Faydens

magic pocket card -- starts out as a12 x 12

cardstock paper -- it is folded three times and makes a

wonderful small pocket to store a treat a little challenge to

to understand at first . You punch the sides ,

add ribbon to close and embellish . In an earlier post I

showed the inside of the card , there is a pocket on the front

to slip the card in and one at the top for goodies . I

will use this idea over and over . is great for a gift card etc .
