Paru's Perceptions

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

I have a tag today which I made for the CASology Cue card EAT challenge.

Hey everyone! I have been having some fun with tags of late…
Here they are…

My mojo has gone for a walk and is taking its time coming back!!!
I am trying to cope by making tags!(among other things!)
They are smaller projects which seem less daunting!

So, I made this tag today for the "Less is More" Chocolate and Mint challenge.

Perfect for this project I thought!!
As I did not have mint coloured paper, I cut out the 'cake' from white paper, covered it with versa mark and heat embossed it with mint embossing powder.
The entire cupcake and rose bud etc is cut using the Scrapping Cottage Cottage Cutz 'Stacked candies' die.
The sentiment is from Kaisercraft and the background is from Hero Arts 'Designblocks'.
I used chocolate coloured Rafia and mint coloured bakers twine to finish the tag.
Fun, isn't it?!

Oh dear...I just realised I have used colours other than the specified chocolate and mint.

So, I made another card for the same challenge...



Thanks for stopping by...
Have a good evening!

Hey all!
I have been having fun making tags using some of the hand carved stamps that I had made a while ago.

some of the stamps are really tiny and extremely simple and I have managed to make some fab backgrounds with them.
I added some free digi flowers which I  downloaded and coloured with copics, some gemstones, some charms, handmade paper flowers,foam letters( from EK success), feathers, buttons, brads and twine for extra pop!

Today I decided to use the techniques that I learnt on Online Card  Classes water colours for cardmakers Days 7-10, to make tags instead of cards.

What fun I had!!!

I took inspiration from Stamping Mathilda's post "60 easy ways to top your tags" to make these tags.

Here is what I came up with!

I am playing three challenges tonight, and I am thrilled with the way my project turned out.

For the Friday Mashup(Eat Cake and colour) Challenge , I created a tag with a faux washi tape cake.

To create the cake, I stamped and heat embossed the washi tape stamps ( stamps from Unity stamp Co.) onto white card and fussy cut around them and popped them on one on top of the other with 3D foam tape.
I then added the 3D star sticker from Recollections stickers as the cake topper.

The background stamp is of course the fabulous designblock from HeroArts.

To make the envelope I stamped  the background stamp on Vellum and then folded it into an envelope.
As you can see this serves as a cash gift envelope.

I am also entereing this project for the Blog named Hero embell-ope challenge and the
CAS-ual Friday CFC 118 Bag and tag challenge

Hey everyone!
I am playing quite a few challenges today...
Here is my submission for the 'Tag U'r It' challenge 59 from Love to Create, Less is more 'use scallops' challenge, Simon Says Stamp 'Birthday' challenge, and the Paper Players tic-tac-toe challenge from Jaydee.

After many days of a major creative block, I received inspiration in the most amazing way! As I was dropping my daughter off to her story writing class, I passed a young girl on the street wearing a t-shirt with colourful tags printed on it.  It was just a glance, but it triggered off a wave of creativity! Here is the result...



Stamps are from Hero Arts "small variety alphabet" stamp set. The stamp '2' is from the Stampendous "calligraphy alphabet" stamp set. The buildings (with the wires connecting them...a common sight in India!), I have doodled, as also the clouds and the little tiny birds(crows...also a common sight in India!)
