A Little Key Ring

Hi Friends!

Today I got a little key ring charm for you as my DT piece for the Inspiration Post over on the STAMPlorations blog. Here it is ...

I rather like making little useful things using the raw shapes tags. I cut a coupe of pieces of white card matching the shape of the tag. The green background was coloured with Twisted Citron DI and the leave was stamped with Twisted Citron DO for a subtle effect. I then added a little more stamping with Rustic Wilderness DO before adding the Carved Flower and the tiny nail embellishment flowers.

The one for the rainbow background was sponged with inks, sorry can't remember which ones I used as It was made a while ago. The sentiment was simply stamped onto it.

I attached both pieces of card to the tag, allowed for it to dry and sealed it with clear nail varnish. It was then finished off with some string and pearls.

Here are the STAMPlorations products I used in today's project:

Mini Rectangle Tags Raw Shapes, Art Marks 3, Carved Flowers, Beach Vibes

A Keyring Charm

Hello Crafty Friends!

There are some new kids on the block over at STAMPlorations: Craftplorations MDF Shapes.

Today I'm introducing you to the new Mini Rectangle Tags.  These tags are perfect for mixed media projects, altering and for thinking outside the box.

Let me show you my 'thinking-out-of-the-box project', here is my keyring charm:

When I opened my pack of Mini Rectangle Tags, it contained 8 tags 2 of each of the 4 shapes below. They are a nice size and with a bit of imagination could be turned into pendants for charms. This is where my idea cam about.

I picked one and embossed one side with a mixture of embossing powder. I added a few layers to make it look like enamel.

I then added a coloured, die-cut leaf using a tiny bit of glue and added another couple of layers of clear embossing powder.

For the reverse I cut a piece of card to size, blended some ink, stamped my sentiment and added a couple of layers of clear embossing powder before attaching it. I did try and crack the embossing a bit for a more vintage look.

I edged my tag with a gold leaf pen and finished my keyring charm off by adding pearls using some linen twine
