JUST US GIRLS! #392 - Word Week

Hello friends and welcome!

It's Trend Week at JUST US GIRLS!

Maria is hosting this week and she wants to see

your creations to honor Mom! Perfect timing

as Mother's Day is approaching. 

Here's what I made:

 Here's the inside:

I used a stencil on the card base going with a tone on tone look in aqua. After I adhered 

the frame die cut, I found some much neglected pink suede flowers and glued them on. I die cut

a flower die, snipped off the leaves and tucked them behind the flowers. Found the

perfect sized Thickers to spell out MOM. A stamped sentiment finishes the inside.

I hope you find some time to play along this week at Just Us Girls! For more

inspiration, please check out what my teammies came up with and leave them some

bloggy lovin. I'd also like to welcome our 

May Guest Designer, Kathie Durgan! 

I'm looking forward to crafting with you this month!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!

Hugs,

Love TAGplorations blog hop at STAMPlorations!

Hello and welcome crafty peeps!

Today starts day 6 of the STAMPlorations Love TAGplorations blog hop!  We are

sharing love themed or Valentine's Day tags, and projects that include tags. Did I

mention that there is a linky party for you to play along and prizes to be had?

You can check out all the details here. But don't wait too long,

as the hop ends on Valentine's Day. (tomorrow!)

For my tag, I started by die cutting 2 of the largest Luggage Tag dies, and glued them together. I sponged Spun Sugar Distress ink over the front of the tag using the Hearts All Over stencil. I went heavier towards the top and lighter on the bottom to give it an ombre look. Before removing the stencil, I spritzed Cherub Pink Glimmer Mist over it. I die cut the Always word die 3 times, stacked and glued together, and went over it with Crystal Stickles. The Clustered Hearts die was cut twice from red glitter paper and added to the bottom of my tag. I stamped the 'I love you' from the Funny Kinda Love stamp set, adhered the Always die, found a rose embellishment in my stash and glued that too. The ribbon was wrapped around a gift I received a few years ago. (and I had to save it for a future project!) 

Aaaaannnnddd, because I couldn't leave well enough alone, (plus I'm a snarky girl at heart),

the back of my tag:

Another sentiment from the same stamp set, and a few of the hearts from the Clustered Hearts die

to complete my tag!

I hope you get to play along! Don't forget that the hop ends tomorrow evening!
